Reward Scaling Vs Mission Level

System

I have just completed Minefield from the admiral (LTCMD mission). (rewards scale to mission, so its a LTCMD MkIV shield)
The next mission she offers then is Pre-emptive strike. She offers two rewards

Overcharged Plasma Rifle MKV and Personal Co-Variant Shield MKV

The problem is as a LTCMD level 8 Should you really be getting a mission where the rewards are CMD and CPT ranks to use?

I think a passover of mission levels Vs reward Levels is needed and this also needs to include a review of the level of mobs that spawn

For example if i select a mission 3 levels above me I should have enemies that match this level, I have seen mission encounters where I am a few levels below recommended and the enemies are a few levels below me, making teh mission a cakewalk

If you start it now, you will likely be Captain by the time you finish, or soon would be. Then you have a weapon ready to go.

I sort of agree . However, I am feeling kind of the opposite. The rewards not the loot/equipment but the merits and points part. To me a lot seems to be too little for the time and effort. I doing tough seeming sort of "epic" missions for only about 150-200 range Points rewards. Of course the treasure as it were sometimes is really good, sometimes just okay but it looks like they try to balance the whole reward. It looks to me like the better loot reward comes with lower points and vise-versa.

Maybe its just and my luck, but if its not just me I think they need to tweek it.

I doubt 1 mission will give me 10 levels
