I'm really hopeful that I'm seeing a trend in how sets will be done from now on, and wanted to see if others think this is just my imagination or a real thing.

Previously, 2-piece sets were the rule. 2 piece borg/2 Omega/2 Maco/2 Aegis, etc.... There really hasn't been any point in getting a full set because the bonuses were not set up correctly. With just 2 pieces, you got a passive; the last piece of the set just tossed a situational "dps-y" science ability on top.

But look at the new sets released in the last two months:

• The Odyssey set, you must use all of the pieces for the passive, and there is no situational add-on.
• The Ferengi set's 20% EC discount for a 2 piece is situational for high-level players, while the commendation XP is useful for much longer in your captain's career.
• The Reman set gives you a damage boost with just 2 pieces, reserving the passive for 3 pieces.

Am I crazy, or does anyone else see a trend toward giving players a reason to round out their sets from now on? Admittedly, the Jem'Hadar set is the monkey wrench in my theory - it still follows the 2 piece passive, 3 piece science ability, and was released recently - but I really hope that I am right.

The Bort's set is not up on the wiki, so I can't check my theory against its set bonuses, but I'm sure someone around here can weigh in on that.

The Bortasqu set is the same as the Odysseys but I believe the bonuses are to different skills.

The Bortas' set is geared more towards damage. I think it ups Energy and Projectile Damage or something.

The Jem'Hadar set works great on my runabout with a phased polaron beam array.

really glad i read this post. i like collecting sets and now realize i need to do the vault more. i have the odyssey set and can't wait to check that out. i had no idea.

i also have the breen and jem'hadar sets and i'm interested in hearing people's opinions on those sets or any other set.

Ive been using the Borg set on my Oddy. Works great with the right BOFF skills in place. I have a couple of the MACO parts but in all honesty I haven't noticed much of a difference in PVE battles when combining the two. Using the full borg I'm still able to deal out the damage and tank well enough to survive.... even in the STF's

I might be able to say something if I was ever to finish the STF's MK XII MACO/Omega set, but I can never finish them!!! IOm still using the old Borg sets for everything by my science toon(that uses the Breen set).
