I still use the classic Borg deflector and sub-transwarp engine. It gives great survivability with the hull heal and the extra sector space speed is bonus. I've tried using other sets, but they always make my ship feel fragile.
I disagree. Placed both Sets on my Rommie T6 Tactical Carrier and I have had great success with the ship. To the point where my Rommie Eng flies it almost exclusively. Have achieved a 1st and 2d Place in CCE (Advanced) with it. 3d Place has become the standard result over the last two weeks.
but its more than 6 weeks old! It simply MUST be outdated and irrelevant! /sarcasm

"outdated" in my opinion, if you like it, well it is good for you.
I think borgset work good on science ship with relative massive hull but it doesnt provide any teamwide buff
I still have Mk XI set on my old toons, they worked awsome wtih Vo'quv carrier and served the empire with honor
Now I only have a Mk XIV set on my galor...
but it doesnt provide teamwide (de)buff
Almost all my toons are using 4 piece iconians for the team buffy
I agree. Internal combustion engines ARE obsolete. Big oil prevented the growth of alternative powered cars, even now in this day and age are slowly moving from impractical novelty to a reliable mode. People are still very afraid, skeptical, and ingorant.
I used to run 2 piece Borg + Dyson Shield. But like others have moved on from that combo a long time ago. The 2 piece Borg combo recently made it back on one of my ships in the visual slots together with the shield from the Breen set for some mean Borg look.
My Fed main uses 2pc+MACO shield and fleet core, it works. My KDF main uses 4pc Iconian ((and Leech) It works too. When I did the event on all the alts, I discovered my Rom main still has random drop junk engine and deflector, she's still better than either at CCA and actually decent in ISA too...
wish they would update the multi space sets in the same rep to be mix and match, with the option to pick the set bonus. IE you can mix and match the Rom and Reman space sets or the Honor/MACO, Adapted Honor/MACO, Assimilated & Omega. Borg Rep has 4 sets you can use...

Your opinion is flat wrong. Just because something is, ahem, "outdated", does not mean it cannot be useful or effective.
Of course anyone's opinion could be based upon a lack of knowledge. Which is typical of a lot of STO players. Who only take the time to find out about something by watching YouTube videos or reading STOAcademy posts. Because actually playing the game with something can be so very time consuming. All those buttons to push and thinking to do. How exhausting.
What I know about the Borg Sets is from personal knowledge acquired through personal use.
Which is also an 'outdated' way to acquire information. At least according some forum warriors.

I used the borg set a log time on one of my toons. On my quest to get every char in the 75k+ DPS reach I replaced it with the iconian set though. I find it to be more productive for the PvE stuff I do exclusively.
Thanks to the new visual slots the borg set still shines on the liberated borg character that utilized it for over 3 years.

I use it on my Iconian dreadnought(engine shields, Console, deflector and cutting beam in aft and plasma torpedo in front slot + rest is mainly antiproton based stuff with obelisk warp core and the 360° Ap beam set)
and i love it, the borg tractor beam is funny to use when you use solar + devastation portals and i had sometimes 90k damage with charged torpedos, and god thing with them they desintegrate targets sometimes like v'ger torpedos, so there will be no warp core explosions, oh and i play as engineer and im quite satisfied with it
That used to be the single best tank build there was. As such, I used the old Assimilated set (the full set) for years, all the way until the Kobali set replaced it.
That said, I do still have the Assimilated set in my visual slot, because that just makes the ship look more intimidating. And Elachi ships and timeships are just begging for that look.
well i hit a conundrum. as i was grinding i realised i'm gonna lose a big part of my damage if i replace 2 of the jemmy set.. so i need to switch to either AP or Tetryon.
I got the set one one toon, but want to get it on another. Too bad rep stuff is character bound.
Total cost is 3300 marks, if i use marks to buy elite marks. Equals quite the epic grind.
Please tell me what the easist way to farm omega marks is? The queues are dead. Defera ground has problems i heard, plus ive done Defera and it is too much work for too little reward.
nakul red alert is 60 some marks on normal, then defera for hard another 15 and the 3 elite marks (4 if you do the gorn drone)

it's just a matter of opinion. And this is not because many people use something, that necessarily it is useful for all. the masses are often wrong.
the combustion engine is outdated, but it is still used by the masses. is it a good thing?
I don't even understand why a lot of people here spend their time to criticize the personal opinions
Ok, side track over, go borg set!
You do see the irony in telling others that their opinion is outdated, but then complain that I am attacking your opinion by defending theirs, right?
(that's all I got for now).

i almost always use the borg engines and the universal console. i prefer not to be slow in sector space.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
