Crafting original series blue phasers

So, my question is this, we can create a character from the 2230's and start out with that era weapons but as we progress and level, we are forced to change to future era weapons. Why can't I craft 2230 blue phasers and *torpedo's*for my ship's and 2230 era away team weapons? I mean we get to look the part with our uniforms, so why not let us craft the weapons of that era? I might add also put some more 2230's ships in the Zen and Dilithium store, T6 ones please, it would be greatly appreciated.

In my opinion the entire crafting system needs a major overhaul. Almost nothing is worth while crafting any more, except manuals and specialization skills. Sure there are a couple of items worth crafting like Tactical consoles for energy weapons but only for early progress, once you get to level 50 to 65 crafting becomes virtually useless, except like I said for manuals and such. I have crafted items prior to creating a new captain, to give me an advantage in the tutorials or just after the tutorial and early missions, which I suppose give it some purpose, but compared to found gear from loot and from rep boxes the crafted items just don't measure up very well at all.0

FYI, you can get them other ways:
- you can buy TOS phasers on the exchange
- TOS captains can buy a full set of mark 1 if you sell all loot drops and episode rewards for credits while in the 23rd C
- If you buy a T1 Connie in the TOS starter pack, Temporal Agent Starter Pack, Temporal bundle you can dismiss and reclaim the connie for multiple beams. The dil version is NOT reclaimable!
- The Quantum phaser from Sunrise is blue but lacks the TOS sound

The ones from the c-store TOS connie (from the packs davefenestrator mentioned), and the Spectres arc ones can at least, and I am fairly sure you can upgrade the K-13 ones too (haven't tried those yet). When you hit level 60 you can put the connie ones in the upgrade window, and they change from "infinity sign" to Mk XII and you can upgrade them from there (the Spectres arc and K-13 ones have numbers to begin with).
I always forget about K-13 having beams, not just the bridge officers and drone kits.
All of the other fleet gear is upgradeable so I'd be very surprised if the K-13 ones are not.
I agree about the crafting system. I have tons and tons and tons of R&D mats that I don't use. I'd love to donate them to my fleet but only a few missions take them. I'd love to be able to donate them in place of other resources, energy credits or duty officers. Maybe not dilithium (although it would be nice!) as that might upset the market.
You can't craft anything except standard energy types in standard flavors. That's the way it's been since crafting 2.0 was introduced in 2014 so it's unlikely to change any time soon.
Because Cryptic decided so. If you see another "ask us questions" sticky thread here or join the weekly livestream you can ask them to explain and reconsider.
