Anyone else getting gear that's above their equip level via rewards?

I completed a mission, not sure which one, and got a blue "Overcharged Plasma Sniper Rifle MK V"

I'm a Commander, and its MKV, so I'm like, "Sweet deal, yo." So, I go to equip my item, only to find that it is a Captain level item. A MK V Captain level item, as a reward for a Commander 2 Mission.

What the hell?

Is anyone else having this issue?

    Same thing happened to me. I was also curious as to why this is.

    Surely you can put it on the exchange for MORE than the equivalent of your own level, and buy one from the exchange of your own level and be in profit...

    You're complaining? I had gotten tons of captain lvl stuff before reaching captain. I thought it was pretty sweet to have all that stuff waiting for me when I promoted.

    Its not like there are already a few threads about this around.... :rolleyes:


    And about "finding" that the weapon is "Captain" after picking it... it clearly says "Captain" on the Item on the reward selection.
    Paying attention and reading are difficult, I know. Don't beat yourself up about it though, you're not alone with that problem either.

    i have a feeling this is a miss-classed weapon myself. I got the same thing, and MkVII is typically where captain level stuff starts. I think they just put the "level" slider on this one a bit to high.

    Thanks for the douchebag sarcasm, Starfire.

    My main issue was with finding gear waaaaaay beyond what I can equip on my captain or ship where I could really use some better gear at my current level. MK V Gear is generally reserved for Commander Level stuff, thus, I was irritated when it said "Captain Only" basically.

    You're welcome.

    If you're still irritated in the morning please feel free to consult the station's EMH.

    I noticed this very thing. Seemed way off to me as its actually a pretty early mission after reaching Commander as well. In fact, I think you might be able to run it if you are LT Com. Which makes absolutely no sense.

    There is another reward that goes with it that is for Commander rank, so you're kind of forced to pick that one, as the gun is fairly useless. I cant imagine holding on to a gun for ten whole levels waiting to use it.

    Its another one of those weird glitchy things in the game though. Maybe in time, it'll get fixed.
