Uneasy Allies Plasma Pistol: Something special

I just tested the Plasma pistol. I am a bit surprised. Its really a normal Plasma Repeater, not different from those we get in the romulan Storyline (and we can buy as common Rarity in the Dyson command Battlezone). Nothing unique like the Kobali Rifle or the Synchronic Proton Rifle or is it connected to the Romulan Set?
So its just rare and Mk XII with average Dmg? I have a high chance of getting a better one if i upgrade a Mk I to Mk XII or buy a upgraded one from the Exchange?

there are many romulan weapons from the rep my guess is cryptic thinks we would prefer to use our own

Perhaps this one has an interesting appearance of some type? Or maybe it's just filler space, but who would play this mission just to select that reward?
It's the only repeater pistol with [Run].
All the other weapons with [Run] are crafted, but you can't craft Repeaters.

a romulan carbine style weapon with :
Primary - 30m range, minigun type cone fire
Secondary - 25m pulsewave, can expose, on exposed target fires a plasma ball similar to blast assault that exploits (creating a patch of plasma fire would be cool if it vapes the target as well)
3rd attack - rather than melee it unleashes the underbarrel mounted romulan plasma flamethrower.
just the thought even of it makes me want to start drooling would be finally a really decent weapon for area suppression with suppressing fire.
wouldn't be terribly op if balanced right either really main attack would do less base damage than normal due to aoe, but align pretty decently with normal offerings in the presence of 2+ target's, ideally the exploit on the 2nd fire mode would have 45m range and the pulsewave mode would be 30m range with the normal pulsewave distance damage scaling.
The Repeater Pistol isn't the main reward. It's just something they put there for players who, for whatever reason, may not want to at least try the armour and the set. It's not supposed to be the eye-catcher.
I know that the Romulan set is the main reward but i think i´ll get the armor for my Boffs tomorrow (just playing one char now) and i was thinking about getting the Repeater after that for some BOffs too. But i´ll think they will keep their current weapons. Runspeed might be good but DPS is better because who wants to run away from a fight (and i have the frosted boots so out of combat i am pretty fast)
And especially with the Armor now i might keep my Bio molecular rifles or AP rifles.
BTW, i didn´t see [Run] on mine, just CritD, CritH
Totally makes sense.
I think this reward is the first of the coming others Romulan unique weapon, coming for everyone else to enjoy. They already said they planned to put them back in the game, when they were removed from the dil store. You can upgrade them from white to epic... I don't know if this mod is part of the random mod, but I suppose it is.
It would've been nice if they'd also give away a universal training manual for your BOFF's that can also complete the set for them.
Also, it'd be nice if they added the Borg Integral Frequency Remodulator as a set bonus to this, so I don't have to use Starfleet/KDF weaponry and armour for my Romulans.

Didn't see that when I examined it in the reward window. I see CrtD and KB3
Maybe it's a random thing?
I always wanted a Romulan looking Disruptor (NOT plasma) as a MACO / Honor Guard set weapon .
It'd be a nice nod to the Republic non-Faction to get a weapon that actually looks like something the Romulans would have made -- even if it's a tweak / modification of the Romulan Disruptor Split Beam Rifle .
Sure it may be a pipe dream , but considering that this mission's award looks like they are searching with a flashlight for new ideas , I say why not something like this , that could look well with the myriad of Romulan uniforms in the game ?
... yes , and did I mention it'd need to be a Disruptor, NOT a PLASMA (!!!) for show accuracy ...
Did they ever say why the Romulans use Plasma in the game when they always used Disruptors in the shows?
Just to be different perhaps?
I guess so ..., considering that prior to the rise of the Romulan Republic , they already had the Romulan Star Empire , the Klingons and their allies and the Borg all using the same green visual FX .
... they even went so far as claiming that the disruptor looking green that the Borg use is actually plasma ... , so go figure ...
So, a ground version of the Omega launchers' plasma bolt?
I offer for consideration an alternative idea, detailed here.
On the other hand, if that secondary was instead the primary (making the mated flamer a secondary), we'd get to call the weapon 'Shake 'n Bake' - especially if it happens to get knockback mods...
To be fair the show implied that Borg weapons were plasma based, at least the "ground" ones anyway.

mine did not come with run... unless you mean when you upgrade quality to VR/UR.
mods are also random. the one I got did not match what was listed on the mission rewards listing.
Everybody could get those very rare versions from the dilithium store before they removed everything from it for the crafting revamp. I know this because all of my characters use the Mk XI Repeater from there as their sidearm, regardless of faction.
You know that changed. It changed when they removed it from the Dil Store and for a long time, was only available on the Romulan ground equipment vendor. And those common ones were unbound. Hell, the common vendor ones when LOR released were unbound and could go anywhere. Not to mention when DR released with the Delta Command zone and the same weapons were sold there without regard to faction specification.
This too.
Hunh, but apparently the mods are random so hard to say really. (I didn't feel like getting the pistol when I played the mission, so I don't know exactly)

Actually, you can get [run] in the upgrade process. I have a plasma wide beam rifle that picked it up at rare quality.
Actually you can get PRP with 2 same mods. In that case it's 2 dmg mods.
No, the frustrating thing is that the armor is Unique, once per Char so i can´t outfit all of my Boffs with one. And i just used it and my secondery attacks didn´t feel 50% stronger
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.
I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.

The repeater pistol itself is quite effective and worth it, but not with those crappy mods.
