I got my Tal Shiar Adapted Battle Cruiser yesterday for my RRF KDF Alien Engineer. I want him to tank and do decent DPS. But I was wondering if the Nukara Space set would be a viable choice? My friend who flies it with a Sci Fed captain recommended The Borg (Assimilated) Space Set for it. But, comparing stats of both, I rather go with Nukara but I don't know if really is a wise choice. Naturally the Borg set looks better on it just because the ship is an "Adapted" ship so its meant to look Borg-like. However, unless you use a science captain, is the borg set really the best move, or any Omega set for that matter? Thanks
My current build to the most details that I could remember. The skills might be a little off from my actual character

What's the budget?
You seem to need an overhaul...let me know

The appeal of the Borg set is not necessarily the stats, it's the built in set bonuses. That hull heal is what keeps many squishy escorts alive in elite content and makes cruisers that much harder to kill.
Nukara is tanky but it really doesn't do much for your build.
I meant 2 aux2bats with 3 technicians for cd reduction
The overhaul/budget remark is based on your gear and boff selection. Extremely sub par...a huge change to your boffs will greatly increase both your offensive and defensive capabilities.
The aux2bat way would work well for you but I didn't know how you felt about that method.

3 damage control doffs. 3 of your choice
It's not the best it can be, but it seems your a tad new to ship. So I kept super expensive and fleet items off the table.

Tactical team to keep your shields where you need them
Epts, tss, st for shield heals
Aux2sif, he, for hull healing
Epte to keep you moving for repositioning
Soloane 3p set for hull leech heal.
Cmon. Man, a tank is nothing if he doesnt have threat on everything, this build will accomplish that...you old build was made for one target only...
I guess I'll leave it at that

You are right about how the boff abilities help but the majority are only level 1 abilities. as opposed to the level 2 or level 3 abilities. those heals wont help much with a ship that has high hull and relatively high shields. that build would work well in an escort given they have less hull and shields but more DPS
