Episode dead end

So, I cannot progress through more missions until I reach Romulan T-2 rep. I can rinse and repeat everything, but it seems like the "streamline" of the adventures has brought me to a stand still. Now, red alert and TFOs are cool and all, but I'd really like to do something else other than alerts and TFO's while I wait 24 hours a wack for my rep to advance.
Anyone else hitting dead ends with the new system?

Yeah, you should be able to queue up for any of the little side missions tied to New Romulus irrespective of rep progress. And if all else fails, skip it. Every mission except the wrappers which have you proceed to a single contact are skippable now.
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence
Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!

I cannot acquire new episodes because I cannot hail D'Tan util the other series is finished. Although it does seem that my experience is uncommon or unique.
I'm not saying you're lying but if we want this sorted more info we give to Cryptic the better.
My new Disco toon is level 40-something (which means the Reputation System hasn't even opened up for him yet).
When I try to play the New Romulus episodes "Warehouse" and "Shuttle Codes", there is a dialogue option for "Why can't I <enter, play, etc.>?", and the response is (paraphrasing) "You must have achieved Level X in the Romulan Reputation system before you can complete this".
Which is funny, if you consider the old New Romulus level requirements were far below level 52 previously. So I don't know WTF happened, but something *did* happen.
Hmmm intresting as I did all of the New Rom quests on my DSC toon (male human) when they first became avaible and I'm still tier 0 on new rom rep with him. So I wonder if there was something changed in a patch since I did those or if there's a racial difference due to a bug.
The 'Secret Shuttle Codes' was a part of the Romulan reputation system T2. Also 'Web Access' count for T3 and 'Secrets of the Ancients' for T5.
These assignments were activated by the reputation system and could only be completed by playing the missions 'Mountain Base', 'Overgrown Caves' and 'The Power Source'.
This is completely different now.
For now to complete 'Secret Shuttle Codes' you have to replay the mission 'Mountain Base'. When all opponents are defeated, do not leave the map. After a few seconds, a 'popup' will appear next to the shuttle to view a 'movie'. After that a 'popup' with 'Submit ...' appear. This complete 'Secret Shuttle Codes' mission and you can leave the map.
This also applies to 'Overgrown Caves' > 'Web Access' and 'The Power Source' > 'Secrets of the Ancients'
In order not to play every mission twice, you can do the following:
When, for example, you accept the mission 'Mountain Base', skip the mission in the episode journal. This keeps the mission in your 'Progress' list.
After that you get the 'Hail' option for 'Secret Shuttle Codes' and 'Hail' the mission. Now you do 2 missions in 1 time.
This also applies to the other two (Overgrown caves and The Power source)
Edit: I am ABLE to enter the instances of warehouse, mountain base, phaoes caves and underground. just missing quests which are NOT in the line itself. KDF (65, t4) and Fed (43, no rep) old second run's deltas without full rep. yes, finished line and TFO as said. and yes, did the hidden camera etc even with the char without rep. prepared to exploring/having to redo quests, but wasn't ready to bug my own chars this way.
On New Romulus, just outside of the warehouse is the NPC you use to start the mission "Warehouse". But instead of start language, it's the interaction choice I described.
In any case "Warehouse" can be skipped in the episode list just like most missions.
Messed around with Lal (level 47 new delta fed, finished all NR line) and suddenly it has 4 new NR area quests in available tab after it didn't (it didn't have even after completed the NR line. The 4 include now, for this char, vestham too. though, beside the 3 of atlay, phaeos and hawel.)
What I did is NOT recommended as it caused TROUBLES but noting in case it helps. The following steps were done AFTER I already have (from 1st day after AoD hit) access to all "official lines' missions" in main tab and had the TFO skipped and taken/done to no avail.
So, ~yesterday, I dropped mission (some were at level 32) and retook. retook was sometimes VERY problematic. Some dialogue boxes just blinked and closed until I tried again and again, or even further dropped more quest/retook others and some such mess. (HENCE I said it's not recommended) Note that some quests appeared as being given TWICE. I took the upper version and then the other option disappeared. I don't remember which quests those were, but melting pot, temporal front maybe? were some of those.
After done, I checked available tab, and saw the new NR quest.
This approach (while risky, I still was in a mood to try it) for my other level 65 char, new delta KDF gorn, which had finished the NR line and T5 too, didn't help. However I think now he can REplay breen missions which were disappeared after last patch... IF I RECALL CORRECTLY.
My most problems are though nimbus replay-ability and NR "optional" collecting quests.
posted on wrong topic so I am going to move this update where it's relevant...
