No more Pulsewave rifles in Reputation Stores.

Can't find the S7 official feedback thread so I'm posting this here.
I just realized that there are no pulsewave rifles of any kind whatsoever in the reputation stores, and they are not listed as an unlock in any of the tiers.
The New Romulus Store has only assault miniguns and high density beam rifles.
The Omega Store has almost all of the old types with a wide variety of modifiers (a welcome change) EXCEPT the pulsewaves, which are gone. Not so welcome.
So, no more pulsewave rifles? Really? This is outrageous! Why on earth would Cryptic do something like that? Pulsewave assault rifles are THE best weapon of choice for handling crowds in ground STFs.
I don't recall this change being announced in the S7 release notes. Somebody please tell me this is a mistake and not by design, and that it will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

the [BORG] Proc apparently never really worked right anyway.
In space - the Borg proc works properly (against the Borg anyway) with ground weapons - in fact, the 'new' Omega Rep weapons all have the [Borg] proc.
They are in my rifle tab....

CommanderDonatra@Capt.Sisko: ahhh is it supposed to do that?
Norvo Tigan@dontdrunkimshoot: hell ya, maybe
Not seeing them here - just unlocked all the Mk XII Omega ground weapons out of curiosity and there's no Pulsewaves listed
Oh, and the 'new' [Borg] proc is worse than the old one *sigh*
Please show me. Pulsewave Assault rifles. Go ahead and show me.
I looked and do not see them either. I am glad I got mine back before Cryptic decided to charge dilithium for every STF item.
To be fair, I don't think the cost of these is too extortionate (although isn't the MACO/KHG/Omega STF gear 9500 per piece?) but the lack of a Pulsewave (and other energy types) is pretty disappointing.
Also, the old Borg proc gave a flat 15 Kinetic damage - these new weapons give 10% kinetic which on average makes them 5-or-so DPS weaker (unless you get a crit in which case I'm assuming the kinetic damage crits too).
Not sure what to make of them really - tempted to buy a sniper rifle for my KDF character though...
Funny thing is yesterday I was starting a new toon and I noticed that the standard pulsewave rifles do not even appear at normal vendors? Perhaps I am wrong, but I was intentionally looking for them.
Um... no? Um... HELL NO? You have a weapon that hits hard not very often, which means the Borg won't adapt as quickly. They have a secondary attack that can knock targets down, which means the Borg won't be attacking you. Idk what you're smoking, but pulsewave assaults are among the BEST weapons to use on the Borg -.-
I lol'd.
Is this ten characters now?
