Extremely minimal shield buff, wasnt even +50 crew recovery rate, lol, Not even +2 to deflector stats, impulse doesnt change. Guessing the set bonus is upped by a minimal amount.
Worth 200 lobi? Check these stats and decide before you take the dive.
Pretty much all XI->XIIs and T5-T5.5 upgrades are a ~7% upgrade at an disproportionately high price (including consoles, weapons, and fleet ships).
I think this is a good design. It's a little boost for the people who have run out things to do, and completely optional part of the game for everyone else.
Literally it is like 20 + dollars for the MK XII version, and the increase is meaningless. It is +100 to shields and 1.5 to the deflector modifiers.
Is there something I missed about this? Basically making customers pay for an additional I in the name.
The Jem shield hasn't been worthwhile since its initial release, why is it getting shafted again? Maco Shield is dominating everything, can't you make jem space set shields compete with it? and maybe make the decloaking skill on the set... work more effectively? It isn't like it is going to hurt game balance or anything and you are making customers pay through the nose for it anyway.
Fortunately I was experienced enough to check the stats before purchasing, not so many will have that luxury.
Thing is the stats are not the the upgrade thing so people cant know what the upgrade is or has.Thats not even a sale trick...its just cheap trading like the type of trading we see on streets in less developed countries (no PWE origins pun intended)
The ground armor is supposed to have an appropriate Jem'Hadar look to it so it might be worth it for that reason alone. Although the look is only available when the armor is equipped.

I think it is less of a sales trick and more of a development cost thing.
It's a development cost thing and not a simple matter of changing the tooltip on the requisistion because item stats tend to change depending on whether you're on the ground, what ship you're currently flying, and your current power levels.

if you cant afford to sell something dont sell.You dont see me selling Roll Royce cars.
This is TRIBBLE. The upgradeable Environmental suit at least adds something - this "upgrade" doesn't add jack and isn't worth the expenditure. It needs a SERIOUS boost.
Didn't the Lockbox Blog say something to the effect of making it "on par with other endgame sets"?
Did anyone notice that the mk XII engines price is no different than the mk XI's?
Could they have forgotten to change the details and the engine is somewhat better?
Higher power to weapons, better turnrate and speed.... would the set be worth it then? Especially if fitted on the flying brick carrier?
Engines always seem bugged. The first time I played, I remember comparing Mk IX with Mk XI, and the tool-tip was exactly the same. In system space the Mk XI was faster and turned better though (reflected in the ship status screen).
Jem space set upgrade is not worth the lobi. Less than 200 added to shields and same engine stamped with Mk XII. I wasted my lobi. Will not even consider buying the ground upgrade. Huge disappointment.

I hate to be on the side of Cryptic on this but could it be that the did not want this mk12 set to boost the Bug too much ?
Remember that ship ... ?

Saeing as how the buff to Jem Hadar/ Galor ships is a separate boost, it wouldn't be hard to ameliorate it.
A set that we already own and we're being asked for 200 Lobi (150 for the ground set) to "Upgrade" it to Mk XII
No. This is not on. Mk XII Jem'Hadar set should be obtainable in-game, without using Lobi. Especially if it's as garbage as everyone says. Same goes for any other Mk XI set that's already in game.
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.
For some time now, many players have been requesting the option to upgrade different types of existing gear into equipment that is more suitable for high-end content, such as that found in Special Task Forces or certain high-difficulty queued events like ?No Win Scenario.? We?re happy to announce that the Dominion Lock Box is going to offer players the option of doing exactly that.
&&
All of this upgraded gear is not only leveled up to Mk XII, but also has additional increases to its stats and enhancements, making all of it much more useful for conquering high-end content.
I excitedly bought upgrades for my shelved JH11 gear. There's another thread going about the joke of a Space Set already too. I'm sorry to report that the upgraded items do not actually contain additional upgrades. The items appear to have undergone a template upgrade to MKXII and nothing else.
The increases over unupgraded items are:
Weapon: +8.3 dps only. No other changes
Armor: +1.1 Health Regen, +18.6 Resist, +7.6 Shield Regen
Shield: +31.1 Shield Cap, Lose 20% Phaser / Disrupt Resist, Gain 10% Resist All
These items are weaker than Advanced Fleet outright (same approximate stats, but minus special abilities) and weaker than MKXII STF gear in both stats and abilities. For an extra kick in the rear, the promised costume option does not look like the Jem Hadar in DS9 or the Jem Hadar Boff. The colors are way off and the key elements are missing (no pointed shoulders, ketracel attach, nothing).
Put simply, these items are horrible and did absolutely none of what was advertised.
Forum Admins: The Ground Set is not the Space Set, please do not merge into the space set thread where the information cannot be found. I know the Space Set thread exists and that is why I did not post this in the Space Set thread, because it is not for the Space Set.

Basically JUNK compared to maco/omega/borg sadly. Is the +polaron damage boost a bit higher at least?

What a waste of an opportunity here - they coulda made a very interesting set on the cheap.

ohh, my bad soz. I assumed ground from the "so you get a costume" part.
And another great way to blow things Cryptic, everytime you get a chance to do good by your players, you seem to just blow it..why?????????

That's just horrible, thanks for the information.
