So, is there any way to pick these up other than the Lobi store? If not, is there any way to pick up Lobi crystals outside of buying keys to open lockboxes?

    There's the Discovery Starter Pack that gives all your toons a sniper rifle and stun pistol that have a Discovery look. While not the same as the lobi one you get other stuff w/ the starter pack... like a ship.

    Plus the lobi one SUCKS ALOT and you'd be better off spending 50 lobi on something else.

    The Lobi rifle is an autorifle.

    As of right now... other than those a Discovery character can get as drops, I don't know. Hopefully they will be more available as we get more Discovery missions. Kinda like how we can get some gear from missions that are in the TOS era.

    Apparently "Discovery era Federation captains may now purchase era-appropriate ground weapons at the Academy after completing the tutorial."

    Any ideas precisely where at the Academy after the tutorial?

    I wonder if that also applies to non-Disco characters playing the Disco missions?

    Ship phasers yeah, ground weapons no, You get only a torp and a phaser beam array from the current DSC missions and no weapon loot drops as far as I can tell.

    That's mission rewards, I mean loot drops. You can get TOS gear as random loot.

    Might have to wait until they come out with more missions...

    Normal Disco-era ground weapons in the vendors are just like the TOS / AOY ones. They can only be bought in the original era.

    In the Discovery-era Starfleet Academy, there is vendor that sells Disco-era phasers. I had a second Disco Toon quickly made to check things out. Types available are:

    Phaser Wide Bolt Pistol
    Phaser Stun Bolt Pistol
    Phaser Full Auto Rifle
    Phaser Sniper Rifle

    I logged in with my AOY toon, checked the vendors on ESD as well as the modern Starfleet Academy, the ground Disco phasers are not seen.

    I checked with my original AOD character who is well into the modern era and went to both ESD and modern Starfleet Academy maps, checked the vendors, and they are not available for her.

    With my lowbie test toon, I could go to the Bridge, hit the Account Bank, withdraw some credits, bought Mk.I Phaser Wide Bolt Pistol and Full Auto Rifle, stuffed them into the Acct Bnk (via Bridge again, there is no Bank at Disco-era Academy). A normal era character can pull them out of the Acct Bank and upgrade them if that's what you want to do.

    ^ thanks, I suspected they'd do that again like with TOS, but I wanted to get the starter pack on that character and didn't figure out the trick to it before finishing Secrets.

    Even so, these should be showing up on the exchange soon / now if they aren't bind on pickup (TOS were not after some patches)

    And with the Starter Pack you can claim 5 sets of blue level-up phasers. The (ahem) bug there is you must discard the Tardigrade before each time you reclaim the pack.

    Yeah, I'm thinking it'd be like a Feature Episode type of thing, with special limited time rewards; something Cryptic loves to do so you have to play the same mission 4-5 times to get all the weekly loots.

    Thank TRIBBLE god. Some of those missions were an absolute boring nightmare to have to re-run 3 and 4 weeks in a row.
