Only Rep that doesn't have this option.
Guess they were scared of the Protonic Potential.
I'm thinking many wouldn't have bothered if this was known.

And Nukara didn't get a ground weapon.
Currently, despite the two-set and three-set being a decent amount of Criticals for everything, I don't run it on any of my energy builds with how lack-luster the Proton weapon is. It gets stuck aft on my torp boats, where it rarely even fires, since the three-set is more valuable with it's +10% Crit Chance to just Photons being fairly valuable (particularly on EPG builds, where you'll likely be using the Dyson torp anyway).
Also could have made an alternate for the melee weapons that we have in some of the reps like the Nukara, and even the terran reps. Though it does seem like they went abit overboard with using the antiproton energy type as the additional alternate type for the reps. Like with the delta rep I would have liked to see a plasma variant for the ground set rifle over the antiproton rifle type we got.
And maybe a new model/mesh for Antiproton rifles.
Also would have been nice to see the Nukara ground set get an actual "Armor" instead of the almost worthless enviro suits.
And the Romulan/Reman Rep finally get a ground set ... With armor visuals/costume. (that, or a "Romulan/Reman" themed Honor Guard/MACO costume -> Praetorian?)
As it stands, Phaser, Disruptor and Polaron have gotten far too much love in the Rep system (and even more in mission rewards!! ) Although my SciRom loves all the tasty Polaron goodness, I have several other alts who are feeling left out because they prefer Tetryon or Plasma.
They do energy damage, just a unique type...the proton weapon also functions like no other weapon in the game...how could you give that a alternate energy type? Not to mention how OP it could be if it was a typical energy type supported by typical stacked damage...
There are a bunch of reputation torps. The Dyson reputation Gravemetric PHOTON torpedo. Is what should have gotten and alternative... and the 2pc boosts Photon dmg and crit chance, and the 3 pc photon crtd.
A Gravemetric Quantum with Quantum set bonuses may have been way to high. However perhaps it would have been some nice love to show Plasma or Transphasic or Chron torps. The Grave torp fires a destructable HY it would have fit in nicely with a plasma version.
If they had done the same with a bunch of the reps and gave us alternative torp types of some of the rep torps. (they could have even slighly altered them... with say destructable HYs on a Plasma based Rep BioPhoton or a transphasic version of a Lukari rep torp ect)
Anyway just my take. To be honest I take little joy in playing with energy weapons anymore... and fly lots of torp boats. As such the T6 alt gear really doesn't appeal to me at all.
they could have at least made alternatives to the protonic polaron weapons without touching the proton rep weapon.
