All standings stuffs will have cap. It's a DE design culture.

No daily cap for Nightwaves!

That's what I'd like to think but nowhere in the opening post does it state it. All instances of Wolf Cred gain is from "ranking up" in the workshop so far.

EDIT: Ah I found it!
"The current Alert rewards will be moved into a “Cred Offerings” store, where they can be purchased with currency earned from completing Acts (challenges) and ranking up with Nightwave. Reward tiers will also be available, debuting with some purchase-only items like Inventory Slots and some cosmetics into earnables (along with some items new to Warframe!)"

Ah! My apologies, that is incorrect. The rest of the Workshop, as you mention, indicates otherwise. I will edit so that there's no confusion, but yes, to reiterate, Wolf Creds are earned by ranking up with Nightwave.

Can you at least give some padding around the "wolf credits" expiring?

 As a teacher my schedule can be a bit random and it'd be nice to have a couple of days after the end date to spend my "wolf credits" before they disappear.

Hi! A teacher that plays Warframe? Man I wish my teachers were that cool when I was in school ahaha. But yes! There will be much lead time to when the Credits expire! As mentioned in the post, we want to remove the "rug pulled under your feet" with the current alert system. And just in case this was missed, here is Steve discussing expiry of Wolf Creds:

Is the reward system from this image blow still a thing ?

Sooo much has changed since that image ahaha, but yes, there will be rewards for having ranked up in the Nightave "tiers". And so that there isn't any confusion, this image is entirely placeholder from the UI to the rewards you see.

So what's going to happen to the Gift of the Lotus alerts?

Those are special Alerts that will not be going away 🙂 We indicated this in the post:

Additional notes: 

• We are removing the time-limited Alerts from the World State Window, but the remaining will still be available from that tab: 
  • Arbitrations
  • Void Trader location/countdown
  • Weekly Alerts:
    • Maroo’s Bazaar - Ayatan Treasure Hunt
    • Larunda Relay - Help Clem
  • Tactical Alerts
  • Devstream Gift of the Lotus Alerts

inventory slots? ok cute, forma and orokin potatoes? yeah that's great. But i still have a question here, is there gonna be any kind of reward for a player that already has every warframe and weapon in the game full forma and potatoed and every cosmetic that can be purchased with platinum? is it gonna be veteran worth playing? or just for newbies and mid game players? it would be nice if we could get some high tier weapons and gear exclusive from these events would be nice. And please make it last, fortuna grinding lasted like 8 days for me and spiders like 3...

Figures forma and kavat genes won't be there.  Literally the only thing besides orokins that would be useful to long time players.

The post is tame regarding rewards external to the Alerts table as to not spoil The Wolf of Saturn Six, but I do want to reiterate what was said in the OP about rewards: 

On 2019-02-22 at 2:15 PM, [DE]Danielle said:

Additionally, Tier Rewards will include items new to Warframe (some familiar some not!) pertaining to Nightwave and The Wolf of Saturn Six. The goal: Focus on story-driven aspects of Nightwave and explore what could be offered gameplay-wise without relying on Mastery Rank. 

We’re excited about the prospects of what Nightwaves will offer reward-wise compared to Alerts, but with large systematic changes comes many adjustment periods. With Nightwaves we have more flexibility to explore desirable reward options, and in doing so, we’ll definitely be shifting things around, adding and removing, and ultimately learning as we go. A new system means new challenges, and as always, your feedback is crucial to the process!

We have a lot of room to play around with rewards with this new system compared to Alerts, which is awesome! There's a lot of options to consider, and we'll be looking at them as we go along. 

@(PS4)thowed You may have missed this in the OP regarding Forma: 

On 2019-02-22 at 2:15 PM, [DE]Danielle said:

All of the below rewards were added to Alerts retroactively to try and make up for Alerts being a bit 'missable'. None of these items originally launched in Alerts.

• Forma Blueprint
  • We are swapping out the Blueprint reward from the current Alert system to a bundle of built Forma that will be part of the Reward Tiers list in Nightwave.

@[DE]Danielle  I know y'all don't wanna give exact dates, in case things get pushed back, but is there an estimated time for Nightwave release? I mean, hoping for Spring, or Summer...

Sorry to do this to you, but...

SOON

If that's how it is, it's really not a downgrade. There's a limited number of Alert Rewards that are available in any given period anyway. Instead of waiting a full month for the rewards you want to cycle around in Alerts, everything will be available in a month-long shop. If you're not interested in the cosmetics, you wouldn't be playing those Alerts in the first place, and you can just spend all your Wolf Creds on more Forma and Orokin Cells than you'd ever see in a month with the current system.

You nailed it. Just keep in mind, as mentioned in the OP, that the Alert rewards (asides from the evergreens listed) do rotate throughout the duration of the Series. So some planning and consideration on where to spend your Wolf Creds will come about.
