Greetings:
I am soliciting opinions on the best Battle Armour in the Lobi store to buy; if it is worth it; and if I should go for a regular/upgraded regular Armour instead. I have previously been using the Na'khul Armour and love it for my style of play. Interested if a Lobi Armour would be worth it.
LLAP........PEACE!

That being said...I did buy the Hirogen armor, and used it for a bit. I don't do a lot of ground other than the Episodes so no real 'stress test'. Currently one of my Boffs wears it.
Herald armor + Nakuhl shield & gun enhance the Crit stats of your toon nicely. My three main ground toons all use that combo at the moment.
(Advanced fleet armor with Crit D instead of Herald is a much cheaper and not at all weaker solution though; I use that for the rest of my toons)

The (Faction) Experimental Environmental Suit (c. 2293) is probably the best armor in the game for a space wizard. The Herald Tactical Armor is ok. Everything else is probably not worth 200 lobi.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
The Privateer Armor is far less flexible than the Experimental EV suit. The EV has high resists and debuffs the damage output of enemies that shoot you. If you want that Dodge bonus, put on the Omega shield. Then you have high resistances when you have to be mobile and high Dodge when you are not. Best of both worlds.
Due to the scaling resistance the EV is barely any higher we are only taking a tiny difference in resistance. I would rather have the 80% damage reduction I effectively get from Privateer Armor then the 55% damage reduction from EV. The Privateer doge triggers 30% chance on move, 80% on crouch (more with shield), EV is only 5% trigger.
I assume your secondary weapon is the Na'Kuhl Assassin Plasma Blade? That would round off that awesome crit based set very nicely...
As you know for my main, I use the Imperial Romulan Navy set for the crouch crit bonus and more importantly the team shield buff.
Solo wise, I have to agree the Privateer armor with the Omega shield is an awesome combo. Weapon wise, the Elachi Crescent Canon Pistol is the order of the day with the Plasma Piercing Beam coming in as the second weapon.

Sadly one has to carry the gun you get from the mission for that. It is quiet bad but the shield itself is one if not the best for ground.

I leveled up the Jem set for my primary Jem BO and it seems pretty good for him.... I've never used it however...

Surely, don't get me going on this one.
You used to be able to earn the three-piece set at Mk XI from the 2800 Missions, pay 150 Lobi, get the Polaron Full Auto Rifle up to VR from Rare, get all three pieces updated to Mk XII, and get the costume unlock. Then they introduced Item Upgrades so you could no longer Upgrade the Set via the Lobi Upgrade. The only thing you could get from the Lobi Store now is the costume unlock AND they jacked the price up from 150 to 200 Lobi. Less is more.
And don't call me Shirley!!!

Ah np, STO Academy seems to work again. Here is the ground setup of one of my tac toons which should illustrate it better. Given the Sompek stuff the two of us pulled I felt it prudent to bring the ground builds on all toons up to spec.
Advanced Fleet Recoil (+ 80% Crit D) + Na’kuhl Shieled (10 sec invulnerability every min) + Na’kuhl gun (only for set bonus +2% Crit H & +30% Crit D) + a Lobi weapon like Herald Staff or Boolean pose top combo almost at budget levels.

Yep.. Your CrtD build is pretty damn stellar and seriously on the cheap to say the least. Accordingly, to keep it really cheap for people, I would stay away with the lobi weapon since you are not using lobi armor so everything would be fleet, rep or story based. Consequently, I suggest the Plasma Piercing Beam rifle everyone loves or the Plasma Repeater pistol enjoyed by all with as many CrtD procs as possible.
Speaking of which, you were not online yesterday at the right time but I ran the Uneasy Allies mission again because I got the pistol with CrtDx3 so I toss my Mk XIV one as it was garbage - talk about luck.... Now both of those weapons are CrtDx3 for me. Accordingly, I may have to give up my RIN set and switch to your awesome poorman's build despite losing the most excellent team shield buff from the RIN set as well as the plas dmg bonus.
On a side note, I found out a lot of people dont know the procs on many items, such as the pistol, changes every couple hours. Shoot, I got a VR Vaad torp last time I ran the mission for it when everyone normally get a blue one but I digress....
Regarding STOA, sadly only getting a bunch of ads and nothing else... I even signed up for a new account but garbage shows on both browsers except the ads which work flawlessly... Anyway I'm not a fan of the STOA.

I've actually been using it on pretty much every character ever since the 2800 FE series was released. Not necessarily on my captain, though some of them do use it, but for story gear it's killer.

Well I jumped the gun on the Privateer Combat Armor the other day. Based upon discussions in here I equipped that (Epic XIV) and the Omega Shield UR XIV on one of my Characters. Lot's of good dodging.

Omega Force Armor (5% en, 2.5crth 20%crtd, mobility)
Terran Reputation Armor (if tac and using "Trajectory bending" kit)
Temporal Reputation Armor (if sci and focusing on the dot damage)
Delta Reputation Armor (if engi and fill up the role of bulk-tank in ground combat)
Hope it helps.

never parsed it, but isn't the CrtH Adv. Fleet armor prefferable over the CrtD? I mean, depending on your weapon mods, which should be CrtD anyway, if so, you get better stats through CrtH armor and CrtD wepons.
