Can anyone tell me where I can buy them? I could buy them at the exchange, but people are selling them for way to much money there.

    I think I saw a few of them at DS9 but I can't be sure on that.

    I beleive all even mk weapons of common variety can only be obtained from drops. This is becuase most even MK items can be used for crafting.

    For even MK weapons of uncommon and rare you can craft them buy them with PvP merits or buy them with explore badges.

    By even mark I mean IV VI VIII

    I think the Starbase on the edge of the Romulan Neutral Zone in Alpha Centauri has them - been a while since I was there, though.

    If you do Exploration missions and get the 2nd Order badges (77 needed...you get 75 per 3 mission set) you can purchase MKIV weapons at Earth Spacedock. These are of the UNCOMMON variety so doing the exploration missions IS worth it.

    Yes, I know you are asking specifically about MK VI not IV but I thought it worth mentioning.

    Each rank basically has two Mk levels of gear that is available to them. Lt. has Mk I & II, Lt. Commander has Mk III and IV, Commander has Mk V and Mk VI etc.

    The odd level gear can be purchased from vendors. The even level gear, which is the best gear for that rank, can only be gotten from drops (common, uncommon, rare), Exploration Badges (uncommon) and Crafting (uncommon(in the case of tier 1 crafting), rare).

    The common, even level gear sells on the Exchange for over inflated prices because they are used for crafting thus ppl want them to make the better gear and/or increase their crafting level.

    If your just looking to upgrade your current gear I suggest the following.

    Run the Exploration missions for Exploration Badges. Spend the badges on the second best gear for your Rank and use any drops you find that are craftable to craft the best gear for your rank. Filling holes with odd level vendor gear.

    Same place, in fact. In the same area you can buy Mk IV weapons, there is another vendor that sells the higher tier weapons. Space gear is in the Ship Requisition Room, Ground gear in the central hub.

    Go to the second floor of the shipyard (go up the turbolift) at Starbase 1, go to the back of left side of the room (facing away from the turbolift), and talk to the Saurian weapons lady. For 3rd order exploration badges, she's got level 6 commander ship weapons. That's where I got my level 6 phaser arrays. She also has other level 6 weapons, such as cannons, torpedoes, and a plasma array.

    Hope this helps! :)
