Building the TR-116B Rifle

At first i thought this would be a simple matter building the items to construct it ... collected them all and then I looked at the Duty officer "R&D Ground Equipment" and went huh? something I never seen, can't get it in the Exchange and nothing that says where I can get one ... can any one help?

    You might search the term on the STO wiki to find out what specific duty officers have that R&D school, but be warned that buying one of them will likely run you as much/more than a good TR-116B would on the Exchange. If you want just one (or even just a few!) of the rifle, you're probably better off buying it/them individually.

    Most common R&D doffs, can be found on the exchange but, you need visually rt click to see what their trait listings are.

    Commons can also be obtained by doing the R&D assistance doff mission, found at the academy/romulan command center/klingon academy, as well as obtaining them via R&D packs from the C-store and the exchange.

    VR R&D doffs, are obtained usually from R&D packs/lock boxes and, can be found for sell on the exchange as well.

    you need a special Doff with that power. Finding them on the exchange regrettably requires you to know the name of the doff before searching. I think the new Krenim Doffs can have it actually.

    If you are on fed side you need a guy called Soreb, he is a Xindi-Aquatic.

    I got mine from doing the 'Request R&D Assistance' DoFF mission from Lt. Ferra at Starfleet Academy. This mission rewards R&D DoFFs, it's just random chance and it takes a while.

    If you want to search them on the Exchange, the Common DoFF's are Hinni and Zissiox. Soreb is the Very Rare (Purple) Variant.​​

    You can find a list of R&D Doff names to search for on the Exchange at this wiki page

    That's a good starting point. But it seems the list might not be entirely up to date. The latest lockboxes added a few R&D capable DOFFs IIRC.

    For note, ALL of the level 15 special items require a specific type of doff in order to make them, @spacemoonsally 's link is a good start for searching.

    Those special R&D doffs drop regularly out of the Kobali doff pack that is in the Vaadwaur lock box. After just a hand full of packs I had all the schools covered, multiple time over.
    Well excuse me for having enormous flaws that I don't work on.

    Dude, its not worth it. I levelled up my ground weapons, made all the components and finally went to build it only to find you need a lockbox doff.

    Needless to say it was a massive kick in the balls.

    Best advice I can give is save your materials, produce very rare upgrade tech, sell them on the exchange then buy the rifle for half of what you'd spend making it.

    lol yeah. Unless you want a MK XIV Epic with CritD, save yourself the hassle and just buy one off the exchange, theyre prettty darned cheap now.

    A list of Kobali doffs with R&D. They are all purple quality. http://sto.gamepedia.com/Kobali_Engineering_Corps_Veterans It doesn't have any names but it shows what specialization (energy weapons officer, damage control engineer, etc.) has what R&D school (beams, ground, cannons, etc.).

    There are also purple Xindi doffs with R&D specialties and is pointed out here by a dev http://sto.gamepedia.com/Kobali_Engineering_Corps_Veterans The dev posted the exact names of each doff too.

    Don't get common (white quality) doffs. They are actually rare and quite expensive in the exchange. And take my word for it. It's not worth spending millions to buy a common doff only to realize you accidentally contributed it to a fleet project.

    I'll say again. I'll GIVE you the DOFF if you want it that badly.

    The new Krenim DOFFs can indeed have the R&D ground equipment perk, you want a guy called Dumen who's a VR diagnostic engineer. He's vastly cheaper than Soreb on the exchange right now.

    I just found the Krenim version. 1.5 million on the exchange vs. the 20 mil for Soreb.
