Was this in a TFO with other players or a single player mission, because in a tfo with other players you will also get team boosts from others in the team if they have team boosting buffs or traits on.
There is also the situation where certain combat zones lower everyone's level from the max 65 to something down in the 40's (or up to the 40's if they're newer players) to do play-balancing. If you're at a higher level and get downgraded in one of those zones, it's possible the weapons might be auto-nerfed. It's been a long time, can't remember clearly. I have so many upgrades and endeavor boosts now, it doesn't really matter for me anymore if something gets lowered temporarily.
That sounds... ominous.The Community manage has put up a survey for the future of the game
Naw - they do it periodically.That sounds... ominous.
So, I've googled it, and it seems that being in an active space map, sector space, or ground map makes a lot of difference to the stats being shown.
I'm keeping an eye on it but I think it's what you're both saying as well.
Everything in this game has a base line of stats, which you will see when outside combat, but once in combat the stats become dynamic, with a 1000 in 1 things impacting and affecting them from second to second for good or bad, and i sometimes think a university degree in quantum mathematics is required to understand them all. lol

I can't wait to get to know you...make you a part of me.bsky.app
And the stats dropped again.... I am so confused.
Depends what map you're on - if you're in sector space or a ground map, any boosts from your captain's traits or BOFFs won't show up. Head to the space area around ESD or New Romulus or Defera to check actual "combat" stats.

I've never had the Borg adapt to the machine gun. When I get a kill 60 Borg Mission it's my go-to weapon because it always works and you don't have to remodulate it ever.^^^^It was a great borg killer, then they nerfed its kenetic damage back in 20223 so the borg adapt to it, BUT!!! if you equip the 3 piece elite hazard team set, and go into aim mode, every weapon you use in your other hand becomes unadaptable by the borg, including the tommy gun, so Cryptic taketh away, and then Cryptic giveth back. lol
