    They are being held for more testing. Now you can request them without the need to do STFs on Tribble so more people can look into them.

    They have consoles built into the next build that will hit Tribble in the next few days. Hopefully by the weekend. Sorry if my earlier post was misleading.

    This is the main reason why I want to do some STF runs to get some cool borg parts for my ship

    The crafting set will also be available for testing on tribble this weekend. Sorry for the delay, but we want to clear that bug and get addition feedback before these items go live.

    Are we going to be able to get them if we already did the STF's?

    That would be a no. You have to start farming it once it is out.
    The reason for this to be released is so EVERYBODY will go in there and play those STFs over and over and over again to get the epic Borg lootz- it has been done in other MMOs before to keep the people playing "old stuff" while the developers are making new stuff... the new stuff would be new Weekly Episodes for us to enjoy.

    I think you mean EVERYBODY will go through and play the Borg STFs once, as thankfully that's all which is required to get the equipment. Though I wouldn't be surprised if that gets changed where it's a random chance for only one person on the team in order to be more in line with what you said.

    Personally I hope the crafting gear is on par with the STF gear (at least the same +5 power) as I'd much rather grind explores for a couple months than go through the STFs again.

    I couldn't agree more. There is nothing that will entice me to play through the STFs as they are currently deployed! They're way too much frustration.

    I don't know if it's a random drop or if it's guaranteed every time, but I do know that if it does drop..everyone on the team gets it..

    Before they where taken out on tribble, the borg loot was a reward choice for doing the mission.
    Like any other item reward.

    A stupid question but what are STF's? Are they missions, fleet actions? Where are they?

    Yeah but in my fleet we will have it on farm, basically running it over and over and over again with the members that has not yet gotten the Borg parts :) I personally dont give a rats about the Borg loot myself, but I will be running with my fleeties so they get it hehe

    I would love a MU crafted set. More specifically, one for each class and if that is not in the cards so to speak then at least have it escort focused. We some love badly.... :D

    Starfleet Task Force missions. Once you hit Rear Admiral, you can do these. They require 5 players to do them (it's not required, per se, but any less than 4 and they're more or less impossible unless you're insanely good at the game).

    The missions are Infected, Cure, Khitomer Accord, and Terradome something-or-other that I haven't played yet.

    Nope. The rewards (outside of the look) matter to me very little. My STF experience so far has been wasted hours and frustration. I spent 4+ hours in a number of failed infected group and I haven't gone back. It's my opinion that if a single mission takes longer than an hour to complete, that's a pretty unreasonable expectation.

    They are compatible with the Sovy. I imagine they're compatible with the IMperial (which is a Sovy kitbash).

    However, on the Nomad Science vessel - it's like jousting... IN SPACE!!!!

    I thought we were going to be able to acquire more than 1 set of the Borg items?? Anyone notice they are limited to 1 piece per character? What about those of us that equip. multiple ships and don't want to swap parts? Also gives more incentive to do the STF's if you are getting more pieces out of them every time you complete.

    If anyone has any update or can point me to an answer, I would appreciate it. Thanks. Lev
