There isn't much difference between the Mk X and Mk XI [cap]x2 shields, so i would just hold on to the mk x capx2 until you earn the 52 mks of honor to buy the shields.
the Mk X Cov [cap] x3 has the highest starting shield strength of any shield in the game for all ship classes PERIOD.
the only way to get it is to accumulate 52 marks of honor and trade them in at either DS K-7 or Ganalda.
there are two ways to get 52 marks of honor.
complete PvP missions that award marks of honor while you are level 40-45.
OR
accumulate 52 Emblems at lvl 46+ and then trade them in for marks of honor at the Fleet gaurding the Gamma transwarp Gate. (borg sector block)
although it is generally hailed as the best overall shield in the game (because it is)...
mk 11 or mk 12 covariants have slightly better shield recharge rates, as do other shields...
you must also consider many very rare mk 11 and mk 12 shields have damage reduction bonuses for specific weapons that may make them very good in PvP or PvE
however sicne we all know basic sheild regen is a joke, and every one is using all sorts of different weapons... get the mk 10 cov capx3 and SHHHH-QUIET!!!!
anyone who provides any information on this matter that is contrary to what is stated here is a noob and needs to cancel sub.
Sorry, D-Rek, but I think this is not entirely correct. Afaik you can earn marks of honor all the way to LG/VA, not only to level 45.
Emblems, on the other hand, can only be acquired from lvl 51 on and not from lvl 46.
I am wondering whether or not I will switch to the new Aegis shields, which will lose maybe 800 shield hp per face, but will gain +5 shield performance and maintenance, a damage resistance proc and +15 defense. (the last two when the shields are combined with the other aegis stuff)
It appears the Aegis base stats are about equal to the covariant mk x [cap]x2, but of course the shield looks AWESOME - all those cool blue lights!

Mk XI cap x2 is still lower then Mk X cap x3
so thx but no thx
How do I convert emblems into other things?
I am probably wrong about the correct price for the shield but all other info should be valid
USS T'Kumbra at Battle Group Omega (take the Transwarp to Gamma Orionis portal).

I think it is 7875, but yeah...the extra bonuses are the reason you would get the aegis shields over the capx3 shields.
seems like much less hassle than getting the 52 marks...
Where is the Emblem Exchange Done???
I haven't seen too many Currency Exchange Stations around.
There is only one. It is at Battle Group Omega, a Nebula class ship and it is quite close to the klingon ships.
Thanks, will look it up.
