There has been lots of changes to the crafting part of STO since 4/19/2010. Most of the info is still valid, but due to Free to play coming (projected) Dec, 2011. Dilithium has come to the game has one standard currency and has turned crafting on its head. All high end items are going to require Dilithium and in Tribble's test server (current form) it will take you longer to farm for mats weather it be Samples or Dilithium. Granted as of this writing, F2P has not gone online yet 10.20.2011. But I fear as a player the stage is set for you will be put into a position that you will have to pay real world money to get enough Dilithium to craft your items in a timely matter (meaning, you won't get bored with the game) and rage quit. in frustration. STO is a good game and Crypitc has great people working on the game. But Free to play does put Devs in positions of compromise which causes some people to leave a game because of gates,road blocks , what ever you want to call it. I guess a necessary evil when you go F2P. We shall see.

The simplest but not cost effective way to get this done is to buy 2 Tac ships from each tier. example: 2 x Galaxy class will get you 6 x Phaser Bank VI and 2 Photon Torpedo VI as well as ship parts. So 2 sips get you a dozen Phaser Bank VI ship guns and 4 torp VI. You now have enough to get through that tier. Not only does this cost a far amount of energy creds, it doesnt get you the tiers when you need them. If you bought 2 Galaxy you want 8s and in order to get 8s you need to buy a Tier 5 ship. If you know and Admiral willing to buy 2 ships for you, then give you the weaps you should get 12 VIII phaser bank arrays and all the others. Enough to get you passed the tier requi. If its all about endgame none of this matters much. From what I saw, the 'crafted' stuff isnt purple so its not endgame anyway.

It'll take a while, and i haven't seen if it'll work yet. But you can craft kits from the Mk III and V gear DS9 sells.

Very nice information, but I have a question. Any idea where to find common MK VI ship weapon componets other than the Exchange to advance from T2 to T3 tactical crafting? It seems odd that the only way to do it would be via small items that you have to make a ton of or that you would have to get lucky enough to get roughly 15 of a specific kind of drop ( i.e Plasma Beam Array). T3 I have no idea about but at least with T1 you can buy the items you need to craft at Earth Spacedock.

I know what you mean. I'm not sure, but it looks like they have made the MK VI (and the MK IV) items drop-only. Starbase 39 (Sierra) and DS9 sell MK IIIs, Vs, and VIIs, but not the ones in the middle.
