The T5 projects require 8k each and take 2 days. (Dev said so.)

Thats the 4k / day.

It's 8k for 2 (4k each) and take 40 hours, which is OVER 3 days.

An expensive lesson that one compromised account can undo the hours of work and hundreds of dollars spent in good faith by a fleet.

Maybe with side missions and dailies you could do in the STFs. Things like: Get Assimilated in an STF. Defeat one of the Borg bosses. Kill 25 Borg. Destroy 10 Interlink nodes. With a little grab bag reward.
This is something I realised this system is intended to do - and in my opinion another bad idea - supposing I don't want to grind the Romulan rep system but I do want to play one of the Romulan missions teamed with some friends - oh, guess I can't - not unless I pony up the Dilithium, Doffs, commodities and time.

Yeah...............I'll just stick with my Borg Gear and give this Rep thingy a miss.

Cause, I don't know what Cryptic are doing, neither do they it seems.

2 Jobs at Omega Rep., 2 Jobs at Romulan Rep. each cost 8k/40 hrs. = 16k/40 hrs. = 8k/20 hrs. = 4k/Day per Rep.

And considering that's for T5... You are looking at a much lower figure averaged across the full progression period, which itself has a definitive end.

I left PWI over this kind of thing and was greatly saddened when I heard Perfect World bought Cryptic because I knew that one day that would drive me away from STO, that day has arrived.

Wait! What? 40 hours is over 3 days? Since when? Last I recall a day was 24 hours. 40/24 = 1.66 so LESS than 2 days NOT more than 3.

Alltogether exactly 100.000 Dilithium till you unlocked T5 and are allowed to pay 36.000 Dilithium per MK XII item.

So for your first full set of MK XII Maco/Omega/Honor Guard set you have to pay 208.000 Dilithium, for every additional MK XII set another 108.000 Dilithium.

Let's say you wan't one ground and one space set then you have to pay 316.000 Dilithium = 39.5 days of boring grinding only for the Dilithium (at 8.000/Day), plus the long cooldowns of all Reputation jobs plus the needed DOff's and commodities needed for these jobs - plus the new extremely inflated DOff grinding Dilithium costs.

reputation is how others view you, earning anything should be through normal storyline replay or progression, that would inturn reward reputation and currency.

We do not need another sink or grind in this game, we love star bases, but do not like the system to progress them. Thus the Reputation System, needs to incorporate fun game play and rewards, not another grind or currency sink. This game is supposed to a fun relaxing experience, not another stress filled job.

I and many play this game to relax and have fun......i think someone is missing that point with all these "systems"
