Brilliant! (Destiny)

After accumulating hundreds of hadronic essence I'm probably never going to use on my Warlock, I kind of feel like there should be an option to exchange them with an NPC for something like faction rep or legendary materials, ie. 100 essence/wire/plasteel for 1 ascendant shard.
Thoughts?

This is a brilliant idea. My Warlock is currently sitting on 247 Weapon Parts and 546(!) Hadronic Essence. I'm at the point where I'm wondering if I should stop picking up green engrams since I don't know what to do with this stuff now. If I could convert them into Ascendant materials, though… well, that would change things considerably.

I actually thought my second character would go way faster than the first (and it did up until 22) but it turns out you don't earn nearly as much Hadronic Essence and Weapon Parts when you don't have to find your first legendaries/exotics.
