Small craft uncommon/rare/very rare/fleet beam arrays

Are small craft beam arrays of better than common quality ever going to be added to the game? The only one of better than common quality I am aware of is the rare one from The Vault mission on a replay. How about changing the polaron -s array from operation gamma a rare as well? btw, the current polaron -s ba award from op gamma isn't even as powerful as the standard phaser -s equipped on shuttles.

    You can just put regular weapons on shuttle crafts and what not.

    It is a peculiar phenomenon that we can imagine events that defy the laws of the universe.

    You can, but I am asking specifically about the shuttle sized beam arrays which have a 360 degree firing arc, the regular ship sized beam arrays do not.

    Oh, I didn't realize they had 360 degree arc, I thought the -s type was just there to make it appear more authentic.

    Would be cool to have them added for small crafts only. You can use turrets though.

    There really needs to be more weapon types for the shuttles as well as rarity. I would love to be able to craft shuttle weaponry in addition to what we can craft now. This also includes warp cores.

    lol I put the quad cannons on my scorpian fighter....I don't recommend it though as most enemies are too fast.

    The beam array S does scale pretty well tbh so I dunno if you really need change it and the polaron version is most likely for use with the jem hadar space set which is why it's a little less powerful.

    All in all though I wouldn't worry about it until they start putting a lot more shuttle events in. When they do that they will probably add better beam array-s' into the game.
    It is through repetition that we learn our weakness.
    A master with a stone is better than a novice with a sword.
    Has damage got out of control?
    This is the last thing I will post.

    Most missions that need a shuttle reward a shuttle beam array as an award.

    In my opinion this is stupid. If I just beat the mission that beam array is too late to do me any good. It should be the reward for the mission BEFORE the shuttle one, so I have it when I need it. Not so that it is obsolete by the time I get to another shuttle mission two tiers later.
