not up on the newest rep gear

mro1978

EVENTUALLY I'll be flying mirror Qin (just about 250k more credits to go) want to know if any of the new reputation gear is worth the hassle. I am using dual heavy cannons on the front, turrets on the back (already have the adapted omega borg set except for the torpedo). Don't really have anything special as far as deflector/engine/shield set go (have solanae set you get for "free" now).

basically wanted to know if the older stuff (one of the honor guard sets) or the assimilated borg set is still awesome or is the fluidic counter assault set so great that I should start grinding that. to be honest it doesn't sound all that kick***.

keep in mind, I'm pretty cheap but don't really mind grinding as long as there's a point to it. If the improvement is 1% better, that is not enough justification to me.

Based on how you describe yourself, the new gear isn't worth your time.

Borg 2 piece bonus is still awesome, as is the kcb 2 piece. If you use disruptors and cannon build, undine weapon 2 piece (turret + universal console) is good, in addition to kcb 2 piece, nothing replaces it.

I have not started the undine rep yet (working on omega / romulan), but I read that it provides a 7.5% increase to phaser and disruptor damage.

I will likely do the undine rep since I primarily use disruptors. But I will wait until after I am done with the current reps I am working on.

You can take a look at the wiki or the rep info tab to get a feel for the items. If you would like to add a torp the undine torpedo is a nice addition. As far as the shield/deflector/engine sets go I think you can stick with what you've got.

With the daily rewards for marks, doing one mission for each rep will net you enough marks to do the daily rep mission. The reason I grab every rep on every char is that - at a certain point - I might change around or experiment with a build on a ship that would like the rep sets.

For instance, running a Tetryon alpha strike b'rel now, and the 3pc Nukara set provides a clicky with some nice damage.

Also, T5 of all the reps provides a nice clicky power too, that you can slot in and out as you change from Space to Ground missions.

In the end, I haven't found grinding rep, especially with the now 20 hour missions, to be a lot of work.

For a tactical/damage dealing ship the new set is extremely good IMO. Especially because of the deflector. But the 10% defense buff are great too.

I have 3 of the parts so far and it does not disappoint at all.

I'll probably still keep the fleet shield though...
