Except that you could, (and from what we understand still will), be able to get a far supiriour borg set for a day or twos work.

getting an Aegeis set is a week or mores work because of the Dil/EC costs. In that time you will certinalyl be onto MACO/OMEGA with the new system, and probably would have been with the old system.

So... it should be cheaper, not better. Right?

i really dont like this ideology, everyone of these sets should be viable at end game. what does that say about normal equipment? why bother making it in mkX-XII?

the aegis deflector and engine are fine, better then maco imo, at least the engine is hyper and you get +10 defense from them, very nice. but the shields is terrible, its a blue quality mkX cov with cap+2 and a tiny amount of extra shields power. i suggest cap2, reg2 or cap2, +10 energy resistance like maco.

thats all the set needs. this set is supposed to be a counterpart to the borg set, and the borg set is still basically king. so aegis should be closer to its level, and not so far behind. its 1 thing fro breen and jemhadar to be training wheels, but this was a former premium set.

Even if it was free, if i cna get5 somthing markedly better for a ay or two's work it's still usless

So long as there's no requierment to run one of the lower sets to have a chance at getting your OMEGA marks to get you your STF gear there's simply no use for them becuase the alternatives are so cheap.

And thats before we mention the fact that their are equally good engines and better sheilds avalibile from crafting or drops. The set bonusus and the really good deflector are the only things the set actually has in it's favour.

So you are forcing us to do STF? Can i simple have my Liftetime-Sub. Money back...

No Romulans, time gated content, forced into specific content.

Thats not the direction Cryptic promised, back then i bought it...

Wait, I'm confused...

If you don't run end-game content, why do you think you need or deserve end-game quality gear? Do you even recognize how ridiculous you sound?

Yeah i'll agree with this.

No one was suggesting that we shouldn;t have top work as hard for it. I mean sure if we have to wait till next season for a general federation reputation, ior similar), to get it, wlel thats ok. I don;t mind having to go through the same level of hoop jumping for the set. i just don't think there's any point to it as is becuase you can grind out better gear fairly quickly.

... I'm not sure it's worth posting. But here goes:

Why not do what other games have done?

Have Aegis upgrades tied to other content.

So, for example, a Mk XII upgrade that uses an Elite STF drop like Elite Omega Marks?

Maybe to differentiate it, require something like Aegis Mk X, 10 Elite Omega Marks, dilithium, and a Romulan schematic available for T5 Romulan people. (Or maybe just as a Romulan project that uses 10 OEFM, dil, and the Mk X version.)

Simple explanation. The Aegis technology has design limitations that the Borg have overcome. The Romulans know more about installing and retrofitting Borg technology. The upgraded version has a teal Tron glow.

I dunno. There are probably reasons why that would never work. I give.

Why are we stopping at Mark 12 anything?? Why not just keep advancing Mark13/14 etc?

I mean we are so far off canon already - why no advancement in levels - if they want to charge more why not add new levels like 13 and 14???

could do with some love thats for sure. i would have thought it could easily go from x to xi to xii via crafting+doffs

what if some doff assingments took it from x -xi needing some componemts that can be crafted.
then to go from xi-xii with some extra componets needed for a doff assingment which are obtained from the new embassy/reputation system?
