the TR 116 Carbine Rifle!

So, I was in Target today, and picked up another copy of STO because the price tag was cheaper than a month's sub. Now, this came with the TR-116 rifle.

That sounds cool and all, but there's a big drawback to this. It's only a level 1 weapon.
I was just wondering if Cryptic had any plans to make this weapon level with the character similar to how the TOS Phasers, and many of the new episodic rewards work.

    Ah, because I picked it up and it said a level 1 and had a dps that was very low by comparison of the other weapons in my arsenal

    Really? Since when?

    If that is the case I might have to go out and pick one up.

    Nah, this thing still dps' like a level 1 item. My hand held phaser puts out more dps than the tr-116

    I take that back, after using it, it's not terrible right now. I'll keep on playing with it and comparing it to my other weapons.

    Well I think the ability to shoot through walls is a pretty big advantage, especially in PvP!

    I've been using it for a month now...(got mine at Target for $4.99 Clearance) it's not the greatest but it does a very good job on non-shielded NPC's. There's a blue Sniper Phaser Rifle (better DPS) that's similar to the TR-116 but it doesn't have that great pa-chew pa-chew sound to it. :D

    what kinda toon is it being used on is a factor if its tac then speck to boost it works great with fire team kit and it gets a nice buff .

    when did they make it level with the character?

    when I got mine 7 months ago it became useless after Lt.Com. and didn't deal any damage.

    They didn't. It's still a Lt class (Mk I) weapon...

    Yup, its pretty much outclassed by everything at VA1.

    The only thing its good for is annoying players in ground PvP with its wallhack special attack.

    If someone lives near a Target and would be willing to pick me up a box I'll send you the money via Paypal. The rifle is what I dont have yet out of all the extras and I dont expect it to be in the store anytime soon.
