# 1 Crafting Disruptors
08-02-2011, 09:14 AM
So I'm VA and I just got all my Borg set from the STFs (witch are all awesome btw-especially KA!) and now I figured that it would be a good time to get all my accolades done. So I decided to respec for Disruptors. Well when I get to Memory Alpha to craft me some beautifully green weapons I saw that there were NO disruptors to craft, at all! At first I thought I must have scrolled past them or maybe it was just a certain category that doesn't have them BUT I soon realized that there were no Disruptor beam, turrets etc. to craft. So my question is to the DEVs, why are there no disruptors for us to craft?

You could always ask a KDF bod to make one for you.

To answer your question, because traditionally, Starfleet uses phaser technology, while Klingons use disruptor technology. They kept crafting in line with that, so Feds craft the good phaser stuff and Klinks craft the good disruptor stuff.

So, basically you can use the Exchange to buy your disruptors, or try to get a friendly neighborhood KDF fella to help you out.

Yup. Same goes for melee weapons too. KDF--> Batleths. Fed--> Lirpas.

So, to answer your question, it is not an oversight by the devs. It is by design.

Find yourself a kdf crafter that wants some phasers and swap.

or do what I did and make a KDF char mail lots of data samples to him and max out his crafting then mail back the finished products and sell the low level stuff on the exchange.

it doesnt make sense though if we can craft EVERYTHING else except those.

But I dont recall seeing plasma arrays on there either.

Actually that's only for ship weapons. For ground weapons the only type available for crafting is phasers, which is beyond stupid.
