Me too, but I went to space, checked my damage in weapons tray, took the set off, checked again and divided. It was 2%, with +26% consoles actually giving +8%. It's not affected by power levels. It may be an effect of some skill(s) not having a linear effect on base damage. Don't know what else it could be.

Are you pure Polarons, or mostly Polarons plus a Torpedo Launcher (or two?)
If the latter, a Two Piece KHG set would probably be your best bet.

I'm currently running a MKXII KHG shield and Deflector and Borg Engine and Console in my DPS Guramba.

None of the three-piece bonuses particularly grab me as overwhelming... however the KHG 2-Set Torpedo bonus and the extra power from the Deflector Flow Capacitors skill (I use a Plasmonic Leech Console) help my DPS quite a bit. As an added bonus, I'm harder to kill, so my higher DPS gets applied much more regularly than if I was taking occasional spacedirtnaps (Borg 2-set proc also helps with this, but the KHG shield is very good by itself and the Structural Integrity buff from the Deflector is icing on the cake)

Only if you fly the JH bug ship.


BTW, the JH shield is bad. Try the KHG or MACO shield combined with Borg pieces + console.

Sets 2 & 3 are not exclusive to dominion ships. It's only when coupled with a bug or galor do you get "Victory is life" which gives the player a rather pathetic 1% chance to strip one buff while using polarons.

and yes I'd never advise using the shields. They are bad, but the engines & deflector are actually quite handy in a fight.
