    theres no merchant for mk 4 6 8 10... These items have to be earned... only 3 5 7 9 can be bought in normal store.

    If you want mk 4-6-8-10 you have a few options.

    Pvp reward.
    Explore Reward.
    Drop.
    Fleet.
    Quest.

    Or try Starbase 39 in the Romulan sector with Memory Alpha

    I think Starbase 39 does... Not sure 100% since I'm not bothering with Headstart. But during Beta, there was an NPC that sold Mark IV and V, I didn't bother with the IV since it had V at the bottom of the list.

    You can use Mk IV.

    Mk I-II - T1 - levels 1-10
    Mk III-IV - T2 - levels 11-20
    Mk V-VI - T3 - levels 21-30
    Mk VII-VIII - T4 - levels 31-40
    Mk IX-X - T5 - levels 41-45

    Starting at Mk III the odd equipment is available for energy credits but the evens are only available as drops, quest rewards, or exploration/pvp token rewards.

    I remember in beta being able to buy Mark iv items from earthdock, located where you purchase new starships. However, you are required to have the 1st and 2nd exploration badge and costs 77 something (I wasn't sure what they were, I was too excited to see a quantum torpedo to even care:D) I'm sure if you collect those items from anomolous readings since the beginning of the game and you are Lt Cdr. you should be able to get maybe 1 Mark 1 or 2 quantum torpedo launcher.

    I found the MK III and MK V there but no IV. I guess those are world drop only phasers ?

    It would be to easy if you could buy them right away when you moved up a tier :)

    I ran all over the galaxy yesterday looking for Mk IV stuff. You can buy it at Earth Spacedock for exploration badges, but only the second type.

    Problem is, I don't know how to get the quests for these exploration missions. I just keep getting the same two areas (Delta Volanis and Acunis Arm). I've completed them twice each, and still don't have the option to do the other areas.

    Anyone know where to get the higher type badges (Hromi, etc)?

    As stated, the odds (III, V, VII, IX) are available from vendors for energy credits, but the evens (IV, VI, VIII, X) are not. You can get even mk equipment from drops, quests, or by trading in exploration/pvp medals.

    It sounds like you're not high enough level yet, according to another thread I read...

    Hromi quest opens at LtC 4 from grall, and the cluster after that opens at LtC 8. Both give you badges 2nd order.

    Ahh. Thanks, but that sucks. I'll be almost halfway through Lt. Commander by the time I even get started, which means by the time I am able to get my ship decked with Mk IV gear, it will be almost time for a new ship.

    Seems pointless. Those badges are pretty much useless if they keep it this way.

    Well you can always purchase equipment off the exchange. It makes sense though, otherwise odd mk gear would be pretty useless. Don't forget that you'll receive Mk IV gear from quests as well.

    Yeah.. I see your point, but I still don't see any reason to waste time on the exploration quests as a method of getting the gear. I never spent a single one of my type 1 badges, and it looks like I never will.

    Also, forget about the exchange.. when I looked yesterday, all the Mk IV ship gear was going for ~100k per item. :eek:

    Interesting.... I will take a look but it would be stupid if you could buy all the gear that easy.

    You can't buy MK IV for credits unless you are klingon, do you think they will let me dock as a fed at their stations?

    You forgot to mention the Exchange.

    Just type in MkIV and hit search. There is a plethora of MkIV items up for sale. Some at very reasonable prices. I got a Phaser Cannon Turret MkIV for 2500 EC just last night.


    :cool:

    Note: Stuff at Deep Space K-7 is purchased with PvP Merits, not Energy Credits, IIRC.

    :cool:
