With the announcement of the new instant T5-reputation tokens, I suspect a new reputation is coming soon.
What do you think it'll be and contain?

Nothing...they've made it obvious they wont put effort into anything unless it's easy and can monetize it...while they have monetized reps now it isn't easy to make a new one. So they wont do it because they don't care about advancing the game...just cheap and easily ploys to exploit players wallets
Why though?
The new thingy will be most interesting for new reps because players don't have sponsorship yet. Players who want the shiny new stuff immediately, like with the lobi buy outs for event ships.
That's at least why I think we will see something new soon.
Well that's too bad. I'm tired of her already.
Since it's heavily tied into Discovery and that series is soon releasing its third season, there will likely be some stuff to draw inspiration from.
It would also require them to immediately add this Reputation to any Marks Choice Awards Boxes.
If they don't leave you with the opportunity to slot the Tier V Reward Upgrade, like they did with the Jem'Hadar or Vanguard Jem'Hadar Charactes, you would not get this Marks, Elite Marks, and Dilithium. Could this also be looked at as another method to reduce the amount of Dilithium in the game?

Well players would still have to play the content at least a few times to get the gear. If they want more than one piece of it - like a full ground set for uniform unlocks - and assuming that we'll still get the T5 mark and dilithium rewards.
But you wouldn't have to wait 40 days to complete a new reputation or multiple weeks before you can start collecting the gear in some of the lower tiers. (Another advantage is being able to immediately use the traits, but how many people still have spare trait slots? I think that's of minor importance, bar a few exceptions like the T3 Omega ground trait.)
I think that's the main incentive here: quickly start collecting gear and at most having to play content to actually obtain something right away. Not so much that you can fill the reputation just so that it's filled and you can look at the filled progress bar or anything. So I don't think that it would automatically mean that players lose any incentive to play new content. They'd just be playing it for different and probably more interesting reasons.
I hadn't actually thought about the upgrade projects. I'm assuming that you'll just get those automatically. It would be very strange if paying 3000 Zen meant that you don't get anything, except a filled progress bar...
At least that's what I'm hoping. There are still many things that could be done. Traits that increase healing capabilities, draining, control. Uniforms - well, I'm sure there are many things they can still come up with, better than what I'm able to draw up.
We don't have much gear that's focussed on tetryon or proton damage. They might even start putting some of the lower tier ships in the reputation stores. New weapons could be designed and so on. We also know they now have the ability to create non-humanoid Boffs.
I mean I would prefer that they spend extra effort maybe fixing some of the stuff that has long been bugged or perhaps doing that previously teased Halloween seasonal content based upon the TOS episode "Catspaw."
But I doubt they'll be adding one any time soon, or anywhere near the frequency we used to get, same with story missions since ViL. Reps might just go the way of the DOff, or R&D, or PvP, or Fleet, and be left in the game to rot, but never actually updated with anything meaningful. Or they'll just gut the system like they did event completion or Admiralty. Lots of different choices, and none of them will bring any marked improvements.
I don't get this. If you don't want the items in a new reputation, just don't grind it?
There were 9 months between Season 14 and VIL's final mission, "Home". Counting the Dominion tutorial as a single mission and discounting the Anniversary and Season 14.5 in that time frame, that's 8 missions per 9 months, or 0.88MpM. By your own calculation, 11 missions per 23 months comes out to 0.48MpM, barely over half what we had prior. If we factor in the anniversary mission that came 3 months after season 14, and the mission in season 14.5, that's 10 missions in 9 months, or 1.1MpM
I hope there is no more reps cause thats too much for 13 and only to tier 5.
