Over the past years we have seen some design upgrades, changes and novelties in terms of Ground Weapons, particularly as new faction,content and Visual Standards start to get more and more advanced.
We have seen the TOS items and Ships getting a center piece on Agents of Yesteday, we have seen proper Romulan Weaponry with Legacy of Romulus, we have seen the Truly Great items and Ship/ Character / Uniform models in Discovery-Related Content.
Of all the factions, the Federation from 25th Century hasn't yet reached these new visual standards in terms of ground gear ( while space wise they are undoubtedly at the top), i'd like to know if there are plans for them to reach it, even by simply making a new set that sets the standard, like with the DSC Weapons.
I agree that the normal part weapons could use some serious art improvements, but normal Klingon disruptors are in the same boat. Both have been around since day 1, and both have looked horrible the entire time.
We do at least have the TNG show phaser rifle (reward from Beyond the Nexus) and the Voyager part rifle (Delta Alliance reputation), they aren't exactly right for this time period but for me they are close enough.

indeed, though if the developers are pushing forwardt he visual standards, both ground and space ( characters and environment are indeed getting upgrade, i really hope weapons get a similar treatment, i like the work done with the DSC Federation rifles.
