'Best' shield + core/singularity combo

Have a fed sci torp/partgen, rom pilot ship faw spammer and rom cloaked torper, that each have an engine and deflector and a question mark for shield and core. Read somewhere that fleet shields adapt wasn't working and am not sure if this is still the case. The delta alliance core is rated but the 2 piece bonus of +25% defense for evasive maneuvers is not one of the better powers; Terran has potentially useful core, okay shield and 2 piece; The mine cores have a power bonus that is best at low power but makes amp easy.

The rom faw could have a spire or plasma-integrated, though the plamsa-integrated do not an extra mod or power at UR but do get W>S at epic, tempted to just go fleet, fleet and hope things work right for this one, though tempted to go the crafted hyper-capacitor shield to weapon damage kamikaze one, for added decloak and get them before they can get you tactics.

    seems like the torp ship would use the borg torp shield for the 2 piece set? Otherwise you are stuck with a meh deflector, I think?

    sci ship, if it has high flow caps as well, might try the tet glider set.

    faw spam elite fleet is probably fine. If its not working, it will be again, figure it out and report it if buggy.

    I recommend the shields because I feel strongly that the deflectors wouldn't match the sets I listed, and you might not have room for the console either... that means a shield/engine pair... for 2 pc sets.

    It's hard to compete with the Terran core, but I always thought that the Solanae shield and core were underrated. If you have a PartGen build, then you might already be using the deflector too, which gets +40 at Mk XIV.

    The Breen singularity core has PartGen, power level resists, and a nice 2 piece set bonus to transphasic damage, but it doesn't get AMP at ultra rare. The power resists are good for a FAW spammer, and the set bonus is good if your torp boat is running transphasics; and of course, extra PartGen is good anywhere you can get it.

    Elite Fleet Reinforced Core/Elite Fleet Shield is a solid combo, though you may be right about the [Adapt] mod on the Elite Fleet Shields not working. I've tested my Elite Fleet Resilient Shield recently and it's Shield Hardness is much lower than it should be in comparison with other Shields that should have less Shield Hardness (ex: Assimilated Shield).
