About Mission Reward Weapons

There have been some really cool-looking weapons introduced into STO via Featured Episode mission rewards. All these weapons have unique and cool VFX and AFX that are found nowhere else in the game. Examples of these include the Resonant Disruptors, Quantum Phasers, Antichroniton-Infused Tetryon, and the recent Chronometric Polaron weapons. There are also unique torpedo variants such as the Quantum Phase Torpedo and Resonant Transphasic Torpedo that follow suit.
While all these weapons are pretty awesome to use on their own, they all suffer from the same issue: you can only equip one of them per ship. This is very frustrating to a lot of people, as they now have to mix different weapon variants, each with their own VFX and AFX, and there's always more of those weapons than the specialty weapon you've equipped on your ship(s). As a result these otherwise amazing weapons just get drowned out by their more common counterparts.
That being said, why not give us full sets of these weapons to use on our ships? I mean, you could have one "Advanced" version of the weapon that completes the set bonus and has better stats, but the rest can just be standard versions of the same weapons. This way players won't be forced to mix-and-match their weapons; if someone wants to run a ship with a full set of Resonant Disruptors, let them be able to! It honestly wouldn't be difficult to do this, as the visual and audio effects are already in the game. Considering that these weapons are so cool, what is the harm in making full sets of these weapons for players to use?

Pick any equipped weapon, select that kind of weapon to set the FX used for all weapons. At least for beams and cannons, a torp should not use the beam effects.
This. Please Cryptic, PLEASE!!!! I'm even willing to pay a nominal fee for such a feature!

On a side note, when the game first launched there was a bug that allowed players to use Champions Online commands to change the color of weapon effects, so this really SHOULDN'T be that difficult to implement.
Would love to see someone with regular, Andorian, and Bio-Molecular Phasers and how people react to seeing someone apparently going Rainbow Beams.

Now on STO. More fun there.
Nonono, what you do is you get the hull as close to baby blue as you can, and you name it the USS Rainbow Dash
Offtopic, I really wish the quote button worked on mobile ... Vanilla really sucks
