Photon Torpedoes hard to get

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
So I was debating weather to go with Photon or Quantum Torpedo, I had just decided Photon would be best for me, when I realized just how hard they are to get at the higher levels.
At Mk VI the Explorer vendors will only sell you uncommon versions of the Plasma and Quantum, and the same with the rare vendors at Memory Alpha. I looked at the exchange and there were very few photon torpedoes for sale in the Mk VI to Mk X range.

Am I setting myself up to be searching for lucky photon drop, or paying high rates on the exchange if I train for photon, or are there just as many photon torpedoes dropping at high levels, but few people are selling them?

Do the tier 3 researchers on Memory Alpha offer to upgrade Photon Torpedoes? unlike Tier 2

    Sadly, no, the T3 researchers only make Chroniton and Transphasic torps. Even if they did make photons you would still need to find a white drop to use as the base item.

    The common and uncommon photon torpedo launcher mk ix and x do get put up on the exchange. Their prices have actually come down in the last few days.

    I was able to pick up two mk x uncommon yesterday by keeping a close eye on the exchange. I missed a couple that appeared to get re-listed 2-5x their first asking price because I thought about it for a minute LOL
