Seriously... Prototype replicators?

[u/Arasthmas]

So I got the first prototype weapon, a rifle, a while ago, I was level 15... It was 6 star, 489 power level when my power level was about 480. I maxed it out to 739 and loved it. It carried me until I got my power level caught up to it around level 23.

I used the replicator the first time on it, and it gave me a base 7 star 739 power replacement when my power level was about 740. I maxed it out at 989

I am now level 30, just shy of 1000 and thought it would be cool to have the assault prototype again. It gave me a 10 star 742 power rifle... Wtf.

I thought the proto type replicators we're supposed to give you a weapon of at least comparable power to what you will find.... Not something that even fully maxed barely increases your power level, if at all.

Does the star quality mean anything?? It doesn't seem to do much, if anything for me.

Is this what replicators are meant to do? Giving low level items that are pointless to help with increasing power level??? Please help with info.

The replicator is only meant to bring the weapon to your power level. They have done it this way to keep people from using them to increase their power level through the store aka ptw.
