I was wondering if the Tholian Ground set should auto level when you do since it shows the infinity symbol for its level. The reason I am asking is because I opened up a bunch of blue boxes with my character and got the full set at level 8 thinking it would level with me since it shows that infinity symbol, but I just hit level 10 and it doesn't really seem like the stats have jumped much as a Phaser Pulsewave Mk IV is showing 66.6 DPS and the Cryo Launcher is showing only 61 Dps. The Shield Matrix is 150.4 and a Personal Shield Mk IV is 158.2.
Hopefully a Dev can give a little more insight into this.

It does level with you, but it is intended to always be slightly weaker than the other items in the game, in terms of raw damage and shield hit points. Its advantages come from its special attributes, set bonuses, and damage types - for instance, Tholians don't have any resistance to Cold Damage, so that pulsewave does much more damage to them than your phaser pulsewave, because so much of the phaser's damage is resisted by the Tholians armor.
That isn't the tholian ground set. But I'm sure they level up with you.
The tholian groud set is what you get when you trade in the 3 items you have along with 150 lobi. That is what I'm trying to get now. I have the lobi and the crystal-woven suit.
