By Season 10 the xp system will be removed and the reputation system will be expanded to include the Federation and Klingon Defense Forces in order to provide consistency. Mission marks will be awarded based on completion of successful missions and a special mission will have to be run in order to advance through the ranks. Mission marks and dilithium will also be needed in order to run the special mission to commission a ship from the space dock. You will also be able to unlock access to new sectors allowing you to find new patrol missions. In some sectors you will get special consumables you can use to run special projects to unlock a store for new space sets such as the Jem'hadar set. At level 8 a project can be run to gain control of junior officers who you can send on special missions to gain influence with various departments (we will call it a doff system).

This is all done to provide the MAXIMUM customization options for your character, as you can run new missions to unlock special rank titles and costume options for your uniform allowing you to remain at the rank of your choice if you choose or to be able to advance to Vice Admiral.

The Defari reputation system will include a special access to dailies awarding dilithium and a store featuring a special Breen styled Space set.

Mission rewards from the current Featured episodes will all have gone and be shifted into a reputation system so anything of blue quality or higher will have to be bought with dilithium, as per the current Reman shield.

Realistically by season 10 the game will be totally different to the game as it existed at season 4 except the KDF ship line up is still in its currently reduced state. The idea of a subscription differences between a F2P and a subscriber will have long since been eradicated.
