[Suggesion] Make all non-stf sets have 4 pieces.

4th piece for sets would grant the 4th effect:


Breen:

Slot: Console

Bonuses: Transphasic related bonuses. Adds 10% shield penetration to all transphasic weapons, decreases timer on all transphasic weapons by 2 seconds.


4-set Effect: ACTIVE
Breen Energy Dampener:

The Breen have modified this dreaded weapon used in the Dominion war.

This weapon would have a similar graphic to scramble sensors (a relatively slow energy sphere that when it hits target there is a sphere-explosion animation).

Effect: Removes all power bonuses from target ship (all bonuses from capt skills, emg-pwr-to, etc) and drains -30 engine power.

This causes a decrease in the target's overall defensive capability by lowering def. rating (engine power/speed) and power levels.


Jemhadar:

Slot: Weapon

Polaron Cascade

Fires a constant energy beam (polaron) that drains target weapon power and feeds it to the attacker's own weapon power. Duration of beam and range matches extend shields.


Reman:
Slot: Console

Bonuses: Lowers timer on plasma torpedos by 2 seconds

4th piece set effect: ACTIVE

Thalaron Missile

Fires a Thalaron Missile (= bioneural with no turret but slightly faster). Upon impact the missile bursts into a 2km sphere of Thalaron particles that causes target's shields to disrupt (disable shield balancing for 4 seconds) and inflicts a 30 second duration crew death damage over time effect. This weapon can kill 80% of a ship's crew at the end of the DOT.

Thalaron dot effect is cleansed by hazard.


Ferengi set

Slot: Deflector

Bonuses: +10% stealth, +10% defense +20 subspace decompiler +20 shield systems

4th piece effect:

Rule #52

(Never ask what you can take)

0.5% chance of acquiring energy credits, contraband or latinum from any hostile ship inside 2km range.

Similar to Slaver steal ability except this will let ferengi-equipped ships to steal by being close to it.... those Ferengi LOVE to break in and steal...even in battle!


AEGIS

Kyon Device

(From Greek Mythology. Kyon = A golden hound set by Rhea to guard the infant god Zeus)

Slot: Device

Bonuses: +5 shield power. Passive.

4th piece effect: ACTIVE

Upon activation, the Kyon device releases particles into the shield geometry that causes the shields to utilize energy damage to strengthen the shields. Releasing the particles requires the deflector. Effectiveness is based on AUX power.

Similar to Reverse Shield Polarity except that instead of healing the shields, the Kyon device reduces bleedthrough and increases shield resistances.

Examples:

Global +25% chance to proc effect based on aux power. Each proc lasts 10 seconds. New proc overwrites previous proc.

@ 25 AUX power = bleedthrough reduced by 2%, shield resists increased by 5%
@ 50 AUX power = bleedthrough reduced by 4%, shield resists increased by 10%
@ 100 AUX power = bleedthrough reduced by 8%, shield resists increased by 15%

Duration of device activation: 30 seconds.
Re-Use timer: 1 minute.

This 4th piece effect will grant the AEGIS set its much needed shield resists (which is what makes the whole set garbage right now) and synergizes perfectly with the set's defense bonus and hull resist bonuses. This makes the AEGIS one of the best tanking kits when used @ 4 piece setup.

Note the device 4th set effect will not trigger unless it is a 4th piece set. Otherwise it just gives a passive +5 shield power.
