It's all looted, crafted, bought with badges or bought on the exchange. I beleive this is the same for the top tier gear in each tier.
i.e
Tier 1
Mk i - vendor
Mk ii - looted/badge etc
Tier 2
Mk iii - vendor
Mk iv - looted/badge etc
Tier 3
Mk v - vendor
Mk vi - looted/badge etc
Tier 4
Mk vii - vendor
Mk viii - looted/badge etc
Tier 5
Mk ix - vendor
Mk x - looted/badge etc
"I believe" - in other words, you don't KNOW for sure and just made this little list up. Which becomes evident when one with actual REAL knowledge examines your list.
Tier 1: Normal Mk II items can be bought with energy credits from a normal vendor.
Tier 5: There is no vendor that sells normal Mk IX items - Mk IX can only be obtained from loot or mission rewards. Mk X items are available through loot, mission rewards, Badges of Exploration, Marks of Exploration and Marks of Honor.
I think you can get the gear at Starbase 39. I've bought lots of equipment for my ship and my away team at each stage of the game. I'm not yet admiral though, so I'm not sure about MK X gear.
What exactly is the "daily exploration" mission and where do yuo get them from?
The mission is named "Chart the B'Tran Cluster" and is obtained from Battle Group Omega in Gamma Orionis. You have to be at least Rear Admiral 3 and complete a "lead-in" mission from Admiral Quinn first in order to be able to even travel there.

Actaully, that guy is right. Mark IX stuff can be bought from Starbase Sierra 39. There is also a shop on Ds9 that sells MK Ix ship weapons.

Mk IX stuff on a Starbase that normally sells in the Tier 2 range? Where can I find that npc?
Also, last time I checked DS9, the best stuff they offered for ships were Mk VII ship weapons. Which is one of the reasons why I don't even bother going there and just start collecting T5 badges as soon as I can.

Yes 'I believe', in other words i don't know for sure, which is why i said 'I believe' and not 'i know for a fact'.
I very rarely bought any items until i actually got to RA and hence why I 'believed' this was the case. I knew that you could only get Mk IV and Mk X items from badges etc and i assumed (believed) that this was the case with all the tiers.
Comments
Green\Blue MK X from exploration\PvP badges.
Purple MK X from daily exploration\PvP marks.
And of course there's the Exchange.

Since Memory Alpha is, to me, not really worth all the effort and resources, I tend to leave it out of my list of worthy sources for gear.

Starbase 39 has some Mk IV gear for sale for Energy Credits. IIRC the Mk IVs are ground equipment only, all ship equipment for sale is Mk III only.
Also I believe the wandering Ferengi trading ships have some even numbered Mks available -- ground weapons only and an extremely limited selection.
