So I watched the stream of season 8. He mentions that if you have a toon with T5 you can do a project that gives you a token for your alt that doubles the rep gained per project from 2.5K to 5K. Question is, is this special rep token project only for new dyson rep or all reps?

Very much this. Also i need them to roll this out Now instead of with season 8 so we can get a roll on it. Otherwise ill be at full rep on my last toon before i ever get to use it.
Inertia just means you can do Powerslides in you carrier!

oh chill lol....you have a week and 1/2....S8 is coming 11/12/2013
i thikn the reason they cant rool it out now is because of the coding is part of the s8 update.
Was this very specifically stated in the livestream? Because in Dev Blog #12 they did initially state that it would apply to all reputations:
Sponsorship
Players have long requested that we make progressing through reputations easier when playing multiple characters. This feature is intended to address that and applies to ALL reputations, not just the Dyson Joint Command Reputation.
but then later in the same post stated differently:
Will Cryptic revamp old reputations in the same way?
Our plan is to see how players react to the changes we?ve made to the Dyson Joint Command Reputation and in future updates we?ll consider retrofitting the existing reputations to have a similar experience.

There's two different changes to reputation in S8.
The first, Sponsorship, is being added to all reputations across the board at S8's launch as a way to ease the grind for alts.
The second apply to the Dyson Sphere rep, which had its projects redesigned for additional ease across all characters. These changes are way more in-depth than adding Sponsorship, and won't be retrofitted to older reputations right away.
These additional revamps (which are not being retrofitted to the others yet) are
Simplified costs. The big XP project requires a daily token that can be acquired by playing almost any of the content in the Sphere, and the small XP project costs EC rather than commodities and devices.
No project cost curve. Older reps (and the fleet holdings, which have the same system) increase the cost per project as you tier up. The Dyson rep's projects cost the same no matter your tier.
A way to grind for XP faster, if you feel like it. The small XP project only takes an hour, rather than 20. If you really feel like grinding it out, you can complete up to 24 of those in a day. The small XP projects only give 150 XP, though. (The daily big XP project is 2500)
Automatic Store Unlocks. No more buying access to the store after working through the tiers. It's automatically unlocked as soon as you reach the appropriate tier.
Mk XII Stuff across the whole thing. Not all the good stuff (besides the secondary set) is locked behind the whole month-long grind anymore. Each tier of the rep unlocks different Mk XII gear.
Loot boxes from XP projects. You get a random loot box whenever you start an XP project, and the box contains one of the non-set items from the reputation.
