Where can I get it? It's not even on the exchange listed for a gazillion EC. Do I get it from a mission?

    Yeah, but it's a good deal at free if you don't have the Emblems or Marks for the x3. :)

    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.

    Head over to the battle group omega in the gamma orionis sector and someone there will exchange 1 emblem for 1 mark of honor...

    I am probably wrong about the correct price for the shield but all other info should be valid

    attention noobs and amatuers:

    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.

    thank you for your cooperation! :rolleyes:

    P.S. pew pew :D

    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.


    pew pew! :D

    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!

    so the aegis shield is the same as the mk x cap 2 at 7,838, but has lots of extra bonuses?

    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...

    There is only one. It is at Battle Group Omega, a Nebula class ship and it is quite close to the klingon ships.

    if you equip the Aegis shields and slap on a +35% shield engineering console, how does that compare to a Covariant capx3 shield?
