There are many complaints on this board, some of them warranted and some of them ridiculous. Even some of mine have been called ridiculous recently with the Scimitar complaint but I digress. One problem I have seen consistently with Cryptic and all these updates is that they release a significant amount of new ideas incomplete, and many of these ideas are address several seasons later or never. The most recent idea that is bugging me is T5 Starbase and what you receive when you have dumped 5 million + dilithium into completing it.
While the unoriginal ship upgrades are to be expected, hull and +5 power increase to some base ship power, the weapons category has a more childish approach of only have phaser and disruptor weapons with a removed damage and a 2.5 add proc. What makes this really sad is that not even the Romulans have their own version of Fleet Elite plasma weapons. Considering how much the current T5 Fleets have dumped into getting to Tier 5, how is it possible that all weapon types are not available. This would be a great opportune time to encourage more to join and stay with fleets by offering Fleet Elite Plasma-disruptor weapons, Phased polaron, Nanite disruptor, Phased Tetryon, Polarized disruptor and even the most coveted Spiral Wave disruptors with the full compliment.
Also, one thing that annoys me about both Advanced and Elite weapons alike is the lack of percentage variety. I personally like Cricital over everything, however this format is not offered in the Advanced weaponry setup. The lack of options are really disappointing when it comes to Fleet weapons, as some even like percentage critical or all accuracy, which the fleet weapons offer neither. I ask Cryptic to please finish what you started, before this next addition of items. The Warp Core have been a nice addition, but now that Fleet versions are available, it would be best to make sure all the other Fleet options are complete. There are at least 20 Tier 5 fleets now, so there really isn't a reason to hold back those who have put the time into make their fleets work together toward completion.
Here is a complete list of weapon types and potential weapon types.

If anyone has any other ideas that could easily be completed, I implore you to mention it in this thread and comment on my ideas.
