    *looks at the new stuff they keep adding to the rep system, looks at the fact that its only been a year in-game and technological progress, looks quizzically at the OP, then shrugs and walks away*

    You can't get Starfleet and Klingon weapons in a rep system only Roms can.

    Please mod or Admin add an N in When. Thanks.

    Apparently you need to level your 8472 rep. The one that gave out weapons to every faction EXCEPT romulans.

    They should look at sci-fi weapons from the 20's through 50's and the 80's/90's. Both old tv serials and magazine covers.

    depends on the definition of "better" AP and rom. disruptors are already better DPS weapons than phasers and tetryons.

    lets asume you mean MK XIII and MK XIV or even MK XV...then the answer would be: in the distant future or even never.

    cryptic in general seems to avoid giving players the "best of all" weapons...each season and enemy race has its counter weapon...although Anti proton really outshine all other types once you reach 20% crtH...or even lower than that.

    The OP wants legendary 5-mod weapons that doesn't require fleet membership to obtain, with an overpowered DPS proc.

    Depends. If you want an item that look canon... there definitely is. Romulans have appropriate weapons, Feds and KDF don't outside of the Fleet Stores and even there... not exactly canon models on the ground weapons.

    Not that I understood what you just said, but it must be good! :)

    I would also want more faction appropriate weapons available. It would have been great if Omega Force, the first joined venture between the factions would hand out phased disruptors / disrupting phasers instead of antiproton weapons.

    The Undine reputation hands out phasers and disruptors. They are particularly effective against Undine, but also provide a benefit against everyone else.

    This. And the ground weapons are extraordinary hideous. Not only do they all look exactly the same, the model isn't even very good.

    You're not alone. I have no problem with green phasers. Or gold disruptors, for that matter.

    How are the standard issue looking phaser rifles, and hand phasers not canon to the feds?

    How are the disruptor rifles, and disruptor pistols not canon to the kdf?

    I recall seeing every exact one of them used in films, so again where are they wrong?

    If anything the fleet weapons are way off, since when have they ever used chrome plated weapons?

    You can go through the episode replay and get enough gear to start STFs between all the MK XI Purples you need to outfit a ship except for maybe consoles. You won't top dpser but you won't be a handicap. I've ran several Undine Infiltration Elites when one had the type 2 phaser and another had the type 3 phaser rifle. They were fine and we did not wipe or have any problems.

    You need to stop hallucinating. The T1 weapons are pretty close to the canon "dolphin" phaser and TNG klingon disruptor. The further you go up the chain the more the models vary gaining stupid looking additions (like double blades on disruptor pistol barrels, and a large housing and "pummel spike" on the phaser pistol) and holographic parts that have never been seen in ST. If you "recall seeing every exact one of them used in films" than you need to lay off the heavy drugs.

    You should also probably do that since you're having issues with reading. I very clearly said the Fleet versions aren't appropriate either, and it's not just because of "chrome"... the base models are also off there. Hell, the wide beam phaser is pistol-shaped, as opposed to, well, dustbuster-shaped like the latest canon phasers have been.

    Seriously... have you ever watched Star Trek?

    Seriously. Using standard issue phaser weapons so you can have a 'canon' loadout for your away teams is not a viable option at max level.

    You can make a 'canon' Romulan away team loadout fairly easily between the disruptor pistol/rifle mission rewards, the rep system, and the nanite disruptors. TOS-era loadouts are similarly possible at high levels, same with Jem'Hadar.

    TNG/DS9/VOY era equipment is an exercise in frustration though, considering how worthless Standard-issue disruptors/phasers are at max level, and how gaudy mk XII phasers/disruptors are.
