Aegis Technological Research set revamp

This beautiful set really needs a remake. I propose a revamped 4-piece set with the inclusion of an Aegis Field Stabilizing Warp Core. 4-piece sets were removed cause of the combos it can be made with but its hard to make a combo with this new layout...
Its modifiers would be:
1.Boosts maximum available Shield Power to 130.
2.[Trans] - 50% Reduced Cooldown on Transwarp or [SSR] - 50% Recharge Time Reduction to Slipstream Drive.
3.[S->W] - Power Bonus: Adds 7.5% of your Shield power to your Weapon power as bonus power.
4.[SCap] - Shield Capacitor: Shield Power Buff - Repairs Disabled Shields : +15 Shield Power Setting for 10 sec : +267.5 Shield Regeneration.
5.+5% to Defense.
The 2-piece set bonus would be changed (due to the warp core getting the +5% defense) to what the 3-piece set bonus is...
Reactive Shielding
Passive. When your shields are hit, Reactive Shielding increases the resistance to the incoming damage type for a short time. Reactive shields stacks up to 5 times per energy type, and can resist against several damage types at once. This resistance applies to your hull and not your shields.
The 3-piece set bonus would be changed to...
+15% Phaser* damage from the surplus power due to the efficiency of each Aegis system component working in tandem.
The 4-Piece set bonus would be...
Adaptive Shielding**
Passive. When your shields are hit, Adaptive Shielding gains one charge, increasing your Shield's resistance to the incoming damage type by 2% for 30 seconds. You can only have a maximum of 10 charges of resistance to each damage type at any given time.
*Why Phasers? 1. It limits its use in combos. If your using anything other than Phaser this isn't going to help you. 2. With at least two sets (that can be used together) and sci-consoles boosting plasma as well as other sets that boost AP, Tet, Disruptors... Phasers finally get a damage boost!
**Before you rat on this 4-piece bonus as taking away from the Fleet version... you need ALL 4 pieces to get it rather then just the Fleet Shield Array.

I'd love to see a MK XII revamp for the Aegis set I still use it on my tact scimitar for elite stf's with the 10k and 20k dps channels and in pvp (when some joker thinks they can take me) but I don't think we will see a MK XII anytime soon which is to bad.
[/SIGPIC]
Mk XII will be available through the lobi store just like how you upgrade the Jem set to Mk XII
No similarity between the two sets. Jem'Hadar set was obtained through a mission reward and upgraded through the Lobi Store. Breen set Mk XII could be available through the Lobi Store. Borg Set was originally through STFs and the Mk XII version was obtained through the Reputation Store after the STFs were made into part of the Reputation system. If Crafting is revamped into some type of Reputation system, then the Aegis Mk XII will be available through the Crafting Reputation system.
No to any more lobi store upgrades (massive ripoff, massive pricetag, VERY minimal reward)
No to AEGIS upgrade.
YES to reducing the dil cost to craft AEGIS to 1/3 of what it is now. Currently the reason most people don't use it is the freaking stupid cost required to make it. HOWEVER, if the cost were lowered, this would make a fine starter set for people levelling up or those yet to move on to the JH set.
Keep it craftable.
Have an upgrade requirement of possessing the regular version.
Aegis Set already had a wishy-washy reputation among the playerbase even long before the LOR update. It simply does not hold a candle whatsoever with the availability of Elite Fleet Shields who stole the resist adaptability from Aegis on top of having inherent resists.
Other than boosts to stats for the Aegis Set worthy of Mk XII, the Shield in particular, or at least the full set bonus, needs some SERIOUS attention, because Elite Fleet Shields do everything completely better.
Aegis Set at Mk XII really needs to fit the name "Aegis" and the shielding should be viably good but not another step up for another OP shield in the game.
[/SIGPIC]
What I hate, however, is that no other set LOOKS as good. Seriously! Dyson set has a nice visual effect, remen prototype looks awesome, but none of them really compare to AEGIS. And AEGIS just isn't worth it just for looks alone. I just wish other sets had unique visuals like this. Most just change the material file to give a different tint to the hull.
And yet they put out a Jem'Hadar Mk XII set. It should be done with Aegis, and while they're at it, a Breen Space Set for Mk XII also.
I don't care how they do it, but Aegis does indeed need to be competetive again. Give people a reason to craft.
That's the real issue with it IMO.
Rules of Acquisition at Priority One

This to infinity.
Personally wish it was a leveless set that could be crafted at the commander rank then at level 50 there was a crafting project you could run to upgrade it into a XII set, story wise you could sell it as "taking into consideration the new advances from the Dyson sphere or whatever......". Since it binds to character have the requirements for the upgrade be maxxed crafting skill, some other items that could only be obtained via crafting would be a nice consideration also, maybe adapted phaser weapons for ground and space. personal wish is a leveless ground combat set that could be crafted. I would like a useful return on the couple of characters I maxxed crafting on.
Hey. Upgrade. Good plan!
