I just finished the westly crusher story and the reward was a box with 4 items you can pick. But all were useless for me as i don't use Plasma ship weapons. Why can't we start getting items where we pick the type of weapon damage we want. It would have been nice to be able to do that with that box of 4 items.
Those boxes just make the reward special and the episode worthwile.
If they were going to offer choice boxes for every episode that has some sort of weapon as a reward, it would make all those weapons less special as you would suddenly be able to get them from countless episodes.
And players would only farm the easiest and fastest missions just to get the weapons they want.

Episode rewards have been one energy type all along. House Martok Disruptor, Quantum Phase Phaser, etc. etc. I can't think of any episode where you can pick any of (phaser, disruptor, antiproton, tetryon) aside from those all-types-in-one cycling ground weapons.
If you play story episodes you'll find some of the rewards useful but many others useless to your current build. Event rewards are the same.
