Maybe what you said applies to people who have all the time in the world, Marb, but I have a mod to build and a job to work, amongst other things. The last thing I want to do in Discovery is waste my time doing lonesome OORP grinding so I can actually get the weapons for my ship.
Now, if you're gonna tell 'Sair here not to be lazy, then why not suggest he goes through all the guns/bases in the game and fixes the reps required for stuff. That'd actually pay off in the long run.
