Is the console version missing most of the Reputation Factions? Or do some factions require specific tasks to unlock? l was hoping to get started on Iconian Resistance but its nowhere to be found. These are all thats available:

New Romulus
Dyson Joint Command
8472 Counter-Command
Delta Alliance

Am i missing somthing?

    There is a lot of content that will be added later, for example:

    Ok thank you i was going crazy looking for them. I dont understand why they would do this, whats available is a random assortment of factions added throughout the games life, why not add all of them? Right now there is no end game content on console, im already lvl 60 and all there is for me to do is upgrade my gear to mk.xiv
    The current rep factions dont really have anything good compared to the others.

    Yeah, the console is missing a LOT of content from the PC version, especially from endgame. All we can do is wait for updates. It seems cryptic are testing the waters of the console player base and seeing what the consoles can actually handle on live before they include too much other stuff.

    It's easing new players into the game, considering the fact that most of this stuff on the PC has been added gradually since release.

    They take to long and no one will be around to play it. Not the season to be taking it slow with releasing stuff

    "Added later". READ: "We didn't have enough time to have it QA'd for console release."

    Yeah, Cryptic likely wanted to meet whatever internal release date they decided would be best. Therefore, after a certain point in time they would have to exclude some content so that they have enough to do Q&A testing on the content that will be released.

    I'm guessing Cryptic did not want to delay the console release so that STO console could be released just prior to the 50th Anniversary. At least from a story / mission perspective console players received the majority of missions up to Season 11.5 on day one of the release. Now it's just a matter of doing more Q&A testing on the remaining story / mission (the PVE queue missions I suppose) through Season 11.5.

    The blog didn't mention reputations or PvEs. No Borg rep, invasion zone, or PvEs (except disconnected), Nukara rep or planet access, etc. Which also means your missing all associated gear and awards... Maco, assimilated module, Borg engines. A whole lot of PvEs are missing too. There is only like 6 or so.

    I hope all this is added to console but I guess it's also nice not to field all those reps at once. I'm concerned though since it wasn't listed on the list of things to be added later.

    I am enjoying console more than I thought especially the larger player base. It's still early though to see if they stay. PS4 has been mostly bug free not counting little visual stuff here or there but nothing game breaking except the Sela mission.

    Precisely. Alot of new players on the PC can get over-whelmed by the shear amount of content and systems. Cryptic, as someone else said, are easing players NEW to STO in. The game should have full access to everything in the PC version within a couple of months. Cryptic are probably revamping everything also. This is the prime opportunity to work out the bugs that exist in the PC version, release it on Console, then apply to the PC version.

    Just bear in mind that the console timeline is 6 months behind the PC's.
