I wnat to get some weapons from the Rep. system stores

Splitbeams, Full-Auto, high-Density

Now which modifier Combinations are best:
CritHx2 or CritDx2 (For Bio-Molecular Disruptors)
CritHx2 CritD or CritDx2 CritH (for Thoron-polaron)
CritHx2 or CritDx2 or CritD CritH (for Protonic polaron)?

    My usual rule of thumb is that CritH is more desirable than CritD. In practice I try to pair them up with an emphasis towards CritH.

    Always CritD. As much as you can get.

    Exposes always give you a critical hit, but CritH doesn't help you get more exposes while CritD guarantees you to hit harder.

    Problem is: i can´t.
    I can get the combinations i wrote (except for some with Dmg, but let´s forget them)

    I can get CritX from Romulans and have those but not from those three i mentioned.

    I think that CritH would be best for the protonic Polarons because there is a 25% chance to get extra polaron dmage with a critical hit and higher Crit chance means higher chance for Extra Dmg right?

    You might be confusing "Exploit Hit" with "Critical Hit". They're separate mechanics.

    "Exploit Hit" enhances your damage by about 200%. A "Critical Hit" enhances your damage based on your Critical Severity. You can "Exploit Hit" and "Critical Hit" at the same time for absurd amounts of damage.

    That said, having CrtH does help a bit against exposed enemies, but CrtD will be usually better.

    sorry i have misread. you should choose: CritDx2 For Bio-Molecular Disruptors

    so basically critD is better even if the crit chance is 4% lower compared to CritHx2

    And i use the dyson Rep skill which grants me 16% CritDamage and the Romulan set for 3% Crit chance

    Get your hands on a Gambling Device for more crit chance and severity, too.

    I do like that RomPlas ground weapons are available in [CritX]x2 flavor.

    It really comes down to how high the crit chance is in the first place, anything upwards of 25-30% I'd say go CritD, otherwise get CritH.

    I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.

    It's under your character stats page on the character screen, though it only takes into account your base, it won't take into account weapon modifiers.

    A gambling device will raise you CritH by 10% and are relatively cheap, from either the exchange or the lobi store. Also I'd look at some of the rep ground traits since they'll boost your stats even further.
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!
