I'm having a hard time surviving with my Star Cruiser as lvl 60 right. What is the best set I should get from Story missions right now.
I see Jem Harder set and Solaenae set.
The Sol Defense Set is pretty tanky. It's in the Undine arc if I remember correctly.
The other easy to acquire is the Aegis. It's crafted though. Not too expensive on the Exchange. (Even better if you have a buddy that can make it for you.) And it's BoA, so you can pass it around to your other toons, if your main toon gets a better set.
Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.
I combine 2 Kobali with 2 Sol for the energy/kinetic resistance and the healing factor the Kobali set gives.
Warp/Singularity core Kobali, Shield from Sol - the other two are interchangable.
Solanae Hybrid Tech - A balance between offensive and defensive bonuses.
+ Pretty good for science captains since the deflector boosts exotic damage and increases the base hull capacity by 35
+ Impulse engine increases weapon and aux power by 3.8
+ The shield has over 9,000 capacity with high regeneration of almost 400.
+ Two piece set give you +3.6 shield power
+ Three piece set; your energy weapons has a 2.5% to heal your hull
- You cannot get the 4th set piece; Overcharged Warp Core; since it is from the 2014 Anniversary Ship... unless you purchase it from the Lobi Store. http://sto.gamepedia.com/Solanae_Hybrid_Technologies
Desperate Defense - Primarily focuses on shields
+ Deflector give +26.2 hull restoration and +35 shield regen skills
+ Impulse engine gives +5 shield power
+ Shield has capacity of about 7,200 and regen of 150
+ 2 piece give +35 kinetic / +25 energy damage resistance
+ 3 piece gives repair nanites
- There is no 4th set piece http://sto.gamepedia.com/Desperate_Defenses
Kobali Regenerative Circuitry - Focuses on hull and shields; but mostly hull
+ Deflector +35 hull restoration, +35 shield restoration, +17.5 base hull capacity, + 8.8 shield capacity
+ Impulse Engine - 3% to 10.5% Recharge Time reduction on Hull and Shield Healing Bridge Officer abilities depending on power level
+ Shield capacity is about 7,100 with regen of 254
+ 2 piece set improved hull regen; improves as hull decreases
+ 3 piece set Reactive Nanite Screen; hull healing when taking damage
- 4th set piece can only be obtained from the 2015 Anniversary ship http://sto.gamepedia.com/Kobali_Regenerative_Circuitry

The "Sol Defense Set" is from "Midnight" in the Iconian Arc.
