Is there any way to purchase the base items for crafting?

I recently picked up Quantum Mine Launcher VI from Ensign Olesr and tried to use it to craft Quantum Torpedo Launcher Mk VI. However, Anichent wouldn't would not accept it for crafting. I can only assume it is because the item I bought is green, not white. So is there any other way to purchase the base Items I want to use? or am I stuck with random drops and Exchange?

    Pretty much stuck. The pattern seems to be that stuff to craft HAS to come from the higher tier Mk item of your rank (i.e. Mk 2 for Lt., Mk 4 for Lt. Cmdr, etc.). All of these are only available as drops or as part of a ship when you acquire it as no vendor sells them. This in turn explains their ridiculous price ranges on the exchange.

    I am not sure this isnt bugged. If you notice with Anichent and the other crafting NPC's, you turn in a 'regular' item and get an improved of - the same- item. Anichent should be accepting regular white Quantum Torpedo Launchers and turning them into rare blue Quantum Torpedo Launchers. The bug seems to be that the crafting formula requires a Mine Launcher and not a Torpedo Launcher.

    In any case even Mark VI Quantum Mine Launchers that you find as drops do not work here.

    Well I tried it with both Torpedos and mines. But they were both green, so it didn't take.

    This is a bug, I have reported it. The launchers do work as long as they are white, can not use any other color. I have managed to craft 1 of the quantum torp launchers.
