Just reached Tier 3 with one of my Klingons and wanted to get the first of the Honor Guard costume unlocks. Only, the unlock project doesn't appear in my list of projects. Looking at the tier box it says I need to aquire the associated Mk XI ground set first. Ok, not a problem I though, only there are no options for the Mk XI ground set items. Just the Mk II pieces. Looks like when they changed around the rep system they forgot to update some stuff. Anyone know how to get the Mk XI ground set and the Type 1 costume unlock?

If you go to the tailor and can set the KHG outfit under the "head" options drop-box (defaults to "uniform" or "off duty") then you already have set 1. It should be automatic, AFAIK.
All in the name of forcing players to buy zen to convert to dil. Sheesh.
Pretty much this ... It's totally ludicrous from a player perspective, that the items required to more easily fight a specific enemy, cant be gotten until you no longer need to fight that enemy.
The Omega/MACO/KHG is a perfect example ... They are supposedly designed to aid in fighting the Borg, but you can't even get a integral Modulator until T5 and by then you've usually finished fighting Borg on the ground ...
Yeah the design of that where you have to go through the whole rep just to then grind for it at the end is just imo poor designing. For example on any rep and I'll use the undine one for example where there only ground combat for fighting undine is that one qued mission and if you just happen to get undine as the enemy in colony invasion so most ppl aren't going to have all these piled up in their inventory on every single character just to switch out for a colony invasion lol. So really you got one mission that most ppl most likely will not even bother doing after they have hit tier 5 so the gear itself is redundant to buy/purchase.
This would be my solution to this issue IMO anyways. When you go to upgrade to tier 1 on a character in a rep that it gives you some options depending on which you pick maybe 3 options. First option would be the current one 5 marks and you go to the next tier. Then 2nd and 3rd options would be a little bit more marks but one would give you like a mk x ground set and then the most expensive one but not too far away from the 5 mark one would give you a mk x space and ground set. That way you are still getting the usage out of them.
As well though many games with similar setups to reputations they have it where if you are getting gear from a lower grade/tier what have you that you can turn in the old one so that you get a discount on the upgraded one as an option to alleviate the burn out on grinding. Overall though with these reps I might get one character one of the new sets but being I don't have any use for them being specific to the enemy faction they are used against after i max the rep out there just is no purpose in me getting it on any other characters mainly just a gimmick/collectors item to hold onto.
