Where are Kit Modules?

So far the only place I have been able to find them has been the Dilithium vendor and on the Exchange. And since asking in game has proven completely pointless, I'll ask here:

Where do you buy the Modules for the new kits?

    I'm wondering this myself. They can't just be found on the Exchange and for dilithium... can they?

    I haven't looked to far as I have only just got my new kit but you can also get them at your fleet embassy if you are in one. It would have been nice if they added a few modules as a re-run reward of the FE too.

    I believe the modules (and frames I think) can drop from mobs in ground combat zones as well.

    Cheapos from EC vendors, slightly better from dil store, some superior ones from fleet embassy and spire, and some nice ones from the new lockbox. Enemies have a chance to drop random common-very rare modules. There are also a few that unlock in the Undine reputation later.

    So far I have only found the EC vendor that sells the new kits, but not the modules.

    Hmm, they may have removed them from ec vendors then.

    Patch Notes:
    "Basic Common-quality Kits and Modules are available from Ground vendors for Energy Credits"

    However...
    I have looked at both ESD and DS9 and I only found them at the dilitium vendor. They are starting to come through the exchange, albeit rather pricy ATM.

    These need to be added to the EC vendors ASAP

    you want them THAT bad.... go play the Cardie mission in the Badlands. It's reward is a kit frame and a kit module.

    Purple Mark XII Kit Modules?

    I'm still looking for those:

    Exothermic Induction Field Mk XII

    Electro-Gravitic Field Mk XII


    but the Spire and Embassy Vendor aren't offering those :mad:

    It's just like what happened when they introduced warp cores. There were scarce at first, but eventually the drops started coming in. I've been getting a small amount of them here and there, but it shouldn't be too long before the exchange fills up. In the meantime, just use your old kit. It works just fine until you can piece together one of the new kits.

    Dilithium store has mk xi rares. Spire and Embassy have 3 total mk xii ultra rares. Trade in your old kits for 1x mk12 uncommon, 3x mk12 very rares and 1x mk12 ultra rare each on all 3 old kits for each class.

    Now there is an excuse to try ground elite STFs to try and get random mk XII purple drops.

    So ok we have a hand full of Ultra rare available at the Fleet holdings, so wheres the rest of them?
    And Wheres the incentive for me to trade in my current Romulan embassy one?

    I too am unable to locate Kit Modules for EC.

    The "What's New in Season 9" message clearly states:
    Basic common quality Kits and Modules are available from vendors for Energy Credits.

    I've checked ESD, Romulan Command, First City, K7 and DS9 to no avail.

    Can't really built a new Kit at this point without spending a bloody fortune.

    Though I feel bad for new characters. No access to Kit power unless they get a drop.


    At this point I am assuming this is a bug but I have yet to find any confirmation on that.

    How do you even search for them on the exchange? The only way I have been able to, is by dragging one of the Undine modules I already have into the search box, and doing a search for ALL items. I can't even find the category they are supposed to be under!

    The "Kits" category under personal equipment doesn't work. Reward packs doesn't work, so does half a dozen other categories I searched. I give up.

    You can find modules in the exchange, however you have to get into some detail. rank, quality, and type must all be included.

    I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
    I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.

    Kit modules??? just playing. At least the common ones.

    They are regular drops in-game.

    You would be a fool if you don't trade in your old fleet kits. What reason would you have to keep the old ones?

    This is the issue I'm having. So far, the Spire and the Embassy only have a Module or two for sale, but I can't find the ones i need. They said that you should be able to set up your new kits the same as your old ones, but without being able to find the Mk XII modules to buy, it makes it kind of difficult, especially since they never made a fleet version of the close combat kit.



    Are any of the modules actually different? So far, the tac powers all seem to work the exact same for me.

    The only new/different powers only available from modules are the ones from the Undine Lockbox and the Counter Command reputation. The others might have their magnitudes fiddled with a bit (and the flamethrower turret got its tooltip enhanced), but that's about it.

    You trade them in at the same holding you got them from. If you have all 3 you trade 2 in at spire and one in at embassy. There will be a trade tab and you can get the new version of the kit you have now loaded out with modules.

    that's really disappointing, I thought they were going to be revamping the whole system, hence that Dev thread for power feedback. Is there at least a place to get the MK XII fleet modules? The Embassy and the Spire only had one or two that I saw.

    What missions are you playing to get the drops, I have played missions so far and not got any.

    Any ground mission. Go to nimbus III, for example. I gathered about 5-6 kit modules mk V - VI in about 10 minutes (my usual run in nimbus III). Im sure they are just TRIBBLE (they are white quality), but well, someone asked where to get kit modules, there is your answer lol.

    Thanks edgecrysger!

    For a starting point at least I will have some modules loaded out and over time can add better ones, as I start to find them :)

    They'll start to trickle into circulation, I don't think there's any rush to switch over, so I'm sticking with what I've got for now (which is admittedly pretty decent).
    I think its going to be a more gradual change over, if you want it NOW I think it'll be a bit pricey.

    The reason being I would be worse off using what currently available because the Ultra rare fleet versions of the modules that I want for my kit are no where to be found! So until they're available I'll hang on to my Romulan fire team kit.
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    I could build the kit I want but its power would be reduced to below what I currently have with my MK XII embassy one. So why should I waste time and money putting a sub standard kit together! They should have made all the modules available when they released the kit revamp. But I'm guessing cryptic are going to hold off releasing them until they decide to hand us another fleet holding maybe with season 9.5.
