if that's mk x what is mk xi?

proberly double but what do i know , i had such high hopes for season 7

well that is depressing

It's the standard Advanced Escort you can get when first reach Rear Admiral, not the C-store MVAM one.

My thoughts:

A) I haven't run 3 Borg in ages, the shield heal I didn't find happened often enough to compensate for the worse stats compared to running maco xii deflector.

B) I've been running maco deflector and shields with omega engines for a week or so, and yes: I pop a fair bit more. Doesn't seem horrific though.

C) people saying 2 piece maco bonus is useless are wrong, at least on fed escorts running cannons. Try fitting polarized disrupto dhc's and turrets, and watch the procs keep coming. Especially with cannon rapid fire.

D) the 125 power hard cap is gone? When did this happen? <runs home to reset his custom power profiles>

i never use the borg set apart from console KHG all the way baby

I think the changes are great at all and I'll w8 until I can get the Borg Shields MK XII and I'll have a look at their capacity. If they are ~7,5k it is a great improvement for me because such a high regeneration in addition with relative high shield capacity will get my fleet long range to be really good at shield stats.

insert general "i hate this change, too" post.

It's pathetic how Cryptic has time to take away all that's good in the game, but can't seem to get their heads out of their backsides to fix the actual technical problems plaguing my game play experience. It's frustrating and wrong to have to worry about being disconnected in the middle of a mission because Cryptic is too cheap to work on the crappy servers.
