Obtaining Discovery Phasers Easily in Star Trek Online

Discovery Phasers have been around awhile and have a really cool effect in Star Trek Online, coming from Star Trek: Discovery. Obtaining them can be quite expensive, but there’s a cheap and easy workaround that doesn’t require an absolute ton of grinding.
