If you go exploring/backtracking in "Coliseum", there is another weapon rack (2 others, technically, although if you draw loot from one you can't draw loot from the other) in the rooms attached to the arena. These weapon racks are verified to give a random green or blue melee weapon, although I wouldn't be surprised if there was a purple hiding in there too.
Also you can't craft falchions at the moment. Lirpas and Bat'leths only so far.
Maybe he means blue? There are some blue ones on the exchange for a high price. Just people who got extremely lucky with the random melee weapon selection in Coliseum.
Melee weapons from Mk I through Mk XI were added to the game at all rarities - and they could very well be dropping anywhere you would normally get a ranged weapon. I'll need to confirm that they were hooked up to drop tables, but if they were - that would explain it. Otherwise there is a weapon rack at the back of the Arena that has a chance to drop a rare melee weapon.

Could you confirm that there is a chance of Mark 11 purple Lurpas being dropped in the game now?
If so do they have different modifiers than the craftable ones?

Define Random. Both times I did that mission I get an identical weapon, namely the MKXI Nasussican sword. I was hoping for a Andorian one.

You must search under " whatever Falchion" without the mark in the purple section.
They are all going foe several million EC.
Only melee weapons buildable are the Lirpa on Fed and Bat'leth on Klingon.

We'll see what I get on Characters 4 and 5.
