Better items, only available in raidisodes

I wondered long time, why we get in raidisodes exaclty the same items, we can buy in gamma orionis fleet.
I don't know, if or how often this has been discussed before, but in my opinion it's a big loss of motivation if you can't get better items in raids. It's a nice thing, that you can buy good items for exploration marks to equip yourself and it's ok, that you can buy even better items for valor marks but the best items must be available at vendors. Collecting the best equipment is really much too easy this way.

So please Cryptic, bring up better boss drops. They should not be the same things, you can buy.
They have to be better, otherwise a lot of players don't have anything to collect anymore because they have already buyed everything.

    On the one hand, actual rare rewards would encourage people to slog through these badly designed, tedious zerg fests.
    On the other I don't want to slog through badly designed, tedious zerg fests. A dilemma.

    Ideally, unique rewards would come with a radical redesign that makes STFs actually good and challenging, but that'll never happen.

    I feel having better loot for raids is one of the downfalls many a MMO falls into. Itforces people into raiding to keep up, completely ignoring the casual player and can lead to eliteism.

    So I'd not say they should drop better loot, just different. For example a Mk X purple phaser (pistol), which has the same stats as the ones you can buy, but with a TOS skin.

    Hey that'd be worse for people like me who love the cosmetic side and anything TOS -_-;

    Let them have Borg themed stuff or something. Or Undine themed. I hate Undine. They can have that.

    True, but they could also make them available by other means. Such as a accalade reward, which takes invested time.

    It was only an example and I agree themed gear is a good idea.

    There are some unique rewards from STFs... I got a special Borg Science kit from the cure that has 3 heals and Tachyon Harmonic, as apposed to the normal Medic kit that only has 4 heals... this makes going through Borg a lot easier having the Tachyon harmonic in addition to 3 of the heals from the Medic Kit. I am sure that there are other special ones too.
