I'm working my work up the crafting ladder. I've noticed so far that very few if any vendors sell the 'base' items used for crafting. For example with Ensign Roet she can upgrade Mark IV Engines, Shields, etc...out of all the things she can upgrade, I've had 6 personal mark iv shields drop and 1 mark iv personal armor from doing the quests up through Commander. I've even tried grinding the enemy contacts for more Mark IV items but with very limited success.
Are there vendors that sell BASE mark iv, vi, etc... items? Not the greens or blues...just plain vanilla.
I'm pretty sure all ship weapon vendors only sell the odd number weapons (III,V,etc) beyond the II's on Sol. The easiest way to get them is from the exchange or buying ships and stripping them. I'm not sure which would be cheaper.

Not really "a pop", you get a full spread of weapons, engine, shield, and deflector. Usually a much better deal than the exchange where you would pay that much for any one of those items.
I've never tried crafting yet and barely used vendors, only requisition officers and even then only sparely. My ships have recieved 95% of their gear from drops during space combat.
