Interesting Idea To Repopulate Ground Action Zones

I had this thought the other night and sorry if it has already been brought up in the past. The Nukara Invasion Zone has had a significant decline in players in the time since it was introduced and I was thinking why not create a new reputation having to do with the Tholians with a new type of marks and once you reach T5 Nukara you would be able to select your choice of marks that you are trying to earn upon beam down or upon leaving the staging area. Players wanting to earn new marks would be able to fight along side of players earning Nukara marks and It would reinvigorate the zone and allow for more teams and easier runs of the zone missions.
This could also eventually be done for the Defera Invasion Zone & the Dyson Battlezone once the player base for it dries up . It would give players the chance to earn new gear and powers without the development time needed to add entirely new episode chains and story content.
I don't claim to know how the rewards are tied in to the coding of the game and how hard of a change something like what I am proposing would be but even if its outside of the realm of possibility wouldn't it be nice to be able to go back to some of that old content and work for something new?:)

The last thing we need is, in effect, tiers 6-10 of the rep system.
Nukara isn't popular because:
1) Once you're done with the Nukara Rep (and have whatever gear you wanted) there's no reason to ever go near it again.
2) Unlike Defera or the Sphere Battlezone, you ONLY get Nukara marks. If Nukara gave Fleet marks, or dilithium, I'd at least be tempted to go back on occasion just to mix it up a little.
3) The zone design absorbs and annihilates joy. Environmental suit oddities, missions designed by a sadistic madman (Mineral Matters), and frankly fighting continually spawning Tholians just isn't any fun. It's just you, getting shot in the back by Tholian Ensigns, forever.
If your solution is to require people to "do another tour" on Nukara, you're thinking about it wrong.
I'm definitely in favor of more endgame things granting Fleet Marks.
