Hello everyone,
I noticed that when I arm my character with a weapon, the damage listed drops by 30% compared to when the weapon is in the inventory. This happens for both my science and tactical captains, but not my engineer. They are all built similar in terms of ground skills, and the only difference that I noted between the engineer and the other two is that I did not yet get the Romulan Navy kit for the engineer. I tried searching online, but could find no information on why I’m losing 30% weapon power. All characters are at level 65. Any help would be appreciated.

Hard to say from here, but generally speaking: damage data is area specific; so when you’re standing at a bank at Earth Space Dock and you look at your weapon stats for your character or your ship, you see the base ‘catalog’ numbers. When you’re actually on the ground or a space (combat) map, all data is ‘live’ and buffed with any modifiers like your traits, your skill tree, weapon/kit/armor levels but also ground DOFFs, Fleet buffs, power levels (for ships) etc etc.
In your case my first thought is that your weapons may be similar types but different levels/quality (at level 65 your gear should preferably be MK XV purple minimum) and/or your missing out on certain buffs – these could be from fleet (not all our fleets have the same buffs live due to cooldowns).
Another reason may be that some ground maps you were playing – especially for the earlier episodes – were written when the level cap was 50 (like Defera Invasion Zone). So when you enter a newer ground map which have been upscaled to 65 you may feel squishier.
"Boldly bashing Borg to bits since 2012..."Thank you for the information. I noticed the drop on the Nimbus map but noticed it did not drop on Risa. My gear is all XII as I have mostly played the episodes all this time. I’m starting to learn about all the other mechanics of the game.
