you could always just sell the weapons on the exchange.

At level 11 you don't really need to worry about making sure you have the highest level stuff.  And if you got enough for whatever you bought in 11 levels, you'll make it back quickly.

Im having trouble finding radiation and biological samples i get plenty of the others from anomalies but not many radiation or bio  any particular place that gives up those 2 often?
im up to LT Cmdr 14 now  and nobody is buying anything from me on the exchange and i have set the prices for stuff at a significant loss to me...    is Daboo the only way to get Gold Pressed Latnium ?

Why are you worrying about latinum at level 14?

Seriously, at that low of a level anything you buy will be outdated in a few days.  It's better to worry about buying good gear when it will actually last you a decent amount of time.

Is captain a good level to buy good gear?

i just grind it from the war zones if you come in first place its a purple peice of gear and 2 and 3 is a blue peice. It is random however

Yeah, when I made captain a couple days ago, I dropped all of my 300k(which I quickly made by by selling my old stuf) on the best stuff I could afford.  I love my little defiant, which is armed to the teeth.

It shouldn't matter what your class is.  You out fit it how you want.  I would suggest at least a torpedo fore and aft, a phaser aft if you can, and my my personal favorite is a duel phaser bank fore.  I don't know how many you have left but I assume you have like 3 and three or something. 

What you should focus on is training your bridge officers.  you can pick the specials they have, and they have some pretty good ones for engineering officers.  You should look through them at the earth space dock.

Anybody else stuck in the new ds9 episode?

I disabled the sensors, killed fighters and workbees.. all registered green but the Jem haddar attack ship which is supposed to attack me is immobile/inactive/unselectable etc.

I've noticed in quite a few missions there are bugs/ glitches  like beaming down to a planet, station after completing another part of mission i have to fly around and around sometimes in a huge loop to hit the "trigger point" and yes i look on the map for the indicator blobs  your Jem'Hadar ship is probably similar you have to make a big loop and hit the trigger point just right 

right now my ship has type IV phaser arrays for and aft and type IV quantum torp launchers for and aft im using the arrays instead of dual because im using a cruiser and the turn rate sucks arse i think im going for a escort or science ship next rank up i need a better turn rate for my play style

Yeah, the cruiser isn't my style either.

I've gone the fed escort route and klingon raider. Next one will be a science vessel though, simply because i want to outsmart my opponent and the escort/raider is too much of the same thing.

Speaking of new ships, do the number of slots increase at certain ranks?

Not sure.
