the Feds get a lovely preview of what their weapons look luck so I was wondering if anyone had any screenies of their toons with the KDF ones, I want to know what they look like before I buy them

I was really disappointed by the regular fleet weapons, no set bonuses for having the three pieces (mostly to help it compete with Maco and Omega) in the starbase (at least fed side) they looked like they had a cool reflective visual like the reman shield which turned out to literally be just a trick of the light in the requisitions room, and for how much they were in both FC and D it didn't really seem worth it to me in the long run since elites were coming soon.


With that said, i AM curious as to how Elite Fleet gear will different from fleet gear in terms of cost visual effects, and stats. If anybody has them I'm hoping they post pics to show the stats as well as how it looks, and maybe the price as well.

i agree its really dumb that they on purpose didnt make the new fleet stuff as good or better then stf gear.

stf gear is made for stfs and gotten through doing stfs very easily.

fleet gear should be top of the line best you can get gear.. after all its not cheap or easy to get.

Consider the cost of getting Mk XII STF gear compared to Mk XII Fleet gear. Potentially hundreds of hard work doing Elites compared to contributing to a fleet and either converting $ to dilithium or earning dilithium. If Fleet gear was more powerful than STF gear, then there would be a serious problem. As far as it being hard to get, it is easy since it just requires joining a fleet that has obtained the proper rank and having enough Fleet Credits and dilithium. It is much easier than going through numerous of the same STF for one drop.

well stat wise the fleet gear IS better than the STF gear in some regards, but it's the set bonuses that make the STF gear stand over the new stuff. that's why i was asking about the Elite Fleet Gear since it will be supposedly better more so, but will it be enough to beat out set bonuses?

Your Honor Guard gear is far more better than our Maco gear it protects you from everything.

To the OP where do Fed gets preview?

Fleet starbase, think it may have been a special project but in our requisitions room there are 2 displays on the wall showing all the Elite Phaser ground weapons

Here come a few pics, one is the sniper and split beam, share same model, other on my small toon is the mini gun. Also put some pics of the temporal guns because i find them weird.

The fed preview of weapons was a special project for the interior, it unlocked more graphics around the base, and put guns in the gun/tailor area on ops lvl against the wall, like a fancy gun case. Showed all the new elite guns.

so it looks like the elite versions will actually have unique visuals to them

All the elite weapons have unique visuals, except the melee weapons they will be releasing to say sorry for taking out disruptors fed and phasers kdf side
