Antiproton only?
So it seems they combined all the "traits" of the other weapon types and bundled them into antiproton weapons and then just stuck those on the mark of exploration vendor in borg space? what about other weapon types? it makes them pretty useless now.
here's a screenshot of the vendor for those that havn't seen it:

And yes it's 5 a day.
Be cool if they do some sort of trade in system where it's like 100 Badge of Exploration, 5th rank = 5 points.
i'm talking about the 0.1hit chance, 2% crit from tetryon's etc all bundled into 1
Those are extra bonuses because it's epic. Those are the random bonuses from uncommon and rare weapons all bundled togdether.
Well antiproton and Tricobalt are supposedly the top weapons in game. With that said, you should definitely take a look at

Antiproton is supposedly just raw dps like someone mentioned, hence the crit.
I don't think any other weapons should be there due to the lvl of weapons (meaning 45+) and that you can buy them using badges of exploration.
yes but where are the epic phasers, etc?
Think that is due to them being a very rare item thus purple that give the hit chance and the drit bonus.
Presumably they'll be drops or available later. Antiproton are what Cryptic want us to have right now for this specific means of acquisition (through exploration or pvp badges), it doesn't mean others won't be available later.
I feel the pain too, there aren't any Admiral level tetryon beams anywhere (earth starbase only offers turrets and polaron beams) and was hoping there'd be epics of those available here.
OF course anti-proton is going to be pure DPS. And be Epic as well. Everyone does realize where the technology comes from?
The Doomsday Machine. It's fires pure anti-protons to slice up planets (and us).
Na na na na na na na na.....
Different types of items have different bonuses they can have. Ship Beams and Weapons have 1 added suffix for green, two added suffixes for blue, and 3 suffixes for purple.
Now, they could have done say x2 of [Acc], but they choose to give all three suffixes instead.
These suffixes are -not- weapon type based, they are common across all weapons. Tetryon, Plasma, etc have special effects to them. Like Plasma is a chance at a DoT.
Just thought I'd summarize all the correct information against the errors in the OP.
