Rep Purchase Reduction via Secondary Characters

I suppose this is a request, but back with Season #8 (I think) we got our sponsorship tokens that enabled us to level up through our Rep Systems at half the price (and time) as before. This was of course provided that one character (minimum) had already acquired the specific T5 Rep.

With Expansion #2 having a significant draw against multiple characters (specialization traits) I would like to request that Rep Items already purchased on one character get a price reduction for secondary characters.

The conditions would be that said item has to have been purchased on one (or more) characters in advance. I would personally like the rep items to be account-bound (and thus, tradable through ones account bank) but I don't see that happening all that likely, so I'd makedo with a reduction of purchase cost. Half the Marks, half the Dilithium, half the EC (not that this should be a problem anyway) and half the extra materials (Borg Nodes, Power Cells etc).

That is all.

    I would love to see this, but I kind of doubt it will happen.

    I would also like to see us be able to use the same sponsorship for R&D. It takes half a year to get your R&D up, it would be nice to be able to reduce that for alt characters.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    Keep in mind that it doesn't matter if any other characters on your account have leveled R&D. Once you get one character leveled, EVERYTHING made on that is at least bound to account, or even not bound at all. you can move everything where you wish with no issues.

    Which are really crappy traits. There are far superior versions to those to use.

    Except for the Science Trait I think. That's pretty good. But only neccessary on Science Characters or Science Vessel pilots, and getting it to 15 takes time, but not really resources.

    It would be nice, but alas I doubt it will happen, benefit to the player and all that....

    I don't know. Isn't there one that increases Beam Damage? I wouldn't mind that one (but I'm not grinding through the R&D tree to get it).

    Beam R&D Trait grants the minor beam damage boost; but what makes it more impressive now is that it plays well with Surgical Strikes since it directly affects beams.

    ...and some of the gear is character-bound on equip. The Aegis Set anyways, and that's the thing I would be the most interested in handing down to newer alts...
