Im going to outfit my ship with them, i noticed they give a chance at crit which normal phasers dont but do mk12 retrofit do similar damage to fleet? If not i will just lvl until i get epic but wondered if much difference, these arent the phasers from the mission but the constitution ship on cstore

    Not sure, but I do know the mission ones do more damage thanks to the added [DMG] modifier.

    Its not, but it is an extra mod, pretty sure since the cstore ones are rare with only 1 mod you would just lose out when upgrading. ie very rare = only 2 mods instead of 3. I could be wrong but I think thats how it would work, and imo while DMG isn't as important as other mods, its still better than nothing.

    I'm curious about this, too.

    I just got a Fleet Excelsior on Thursday, and I want to put the classic phasers on that ship. Like the OP, they are the phasers from the Connie, not the Davidian arc. I've already thrown them into the upgrade system to take a peek... that changed them to Mk XII Rare with the [CrtH] [Dmg] mods.

    My guess is that, once you throw the Connie phasers into the upgrade system, they change into the same item as you get in the Davidian arc (with the added bonus of being at Mk XII). How they compare to other phasers, though... don't know yet.

    I'm also wondering if their mods are fixed, on upgrade...?

    People in the TOS Retrofit Phasers thread (in one of the Starfleet areas of this forum) say you can get unlimited TOS phasers this way... provided that you like the sound.

    IMO, it's worth it just for the visual effects alone.

    Use Rainbow Phasers, annoy the heck out of your PUGs, still do massive DPS anyway. :D

    This is super helpful!

    Were the mods fixed? In other words, did all of the Connie phasers hit [CrtH]x3 [Dmg] on upgrade?
