Ablative Hazard Shielding...

Ablative Hazard Shielding sounds like a really good deal, especially for someone like me who usually plays P vs E. Does anyone have those equipped right now that could give me the low down on how well they work and any issues they might have?

    They work pretty well as a save from respawn queue durability/heal. As for downsides, using it at the right time: If you press it too early you get the over-shield, but the heal after it expires won't do much. Not terrible, unless you just got into a heavy fire-fight, just a bit better to wait until you've lost a fair bit of health points to leverage the heal. The only other issue I can think of is that there are technically three of this console, for the KDF and Fed versions that only affects which console(s) it has a set bonus with, but the Morrigu's one can only be used on Warbirds, and has a different set bonus (I quite like the two-set of the Warbird one, which is a nice reduction in power drain for weapons.)

    It's a very nice survival console that's in a similar league with the Kobali console and the Dorito console. not as potent of a heal but can pull you out of the fire. I use it on my tanks quite often. What exactly are you looking to do if I may ask? I don't mind giving an opinion on certain consoles, but we can give you more tailored advice depending on what you're looking for

    I like it and tend to put it on all of my ships somewhere as it's a great survival console.
    I play on Xbox though and we can set it to auto activate in the right conditions so it might be a bit easier for us. The set is also top notch imho.

    I prefer Secondary Shield Projector.

    It has the added benefit of applying to the whole team. If you care about your team mates in a pug and you're far away (like in Borg Disconnected), it can be a nice thing to have to help others survive.

    I was just looking for something to "pull me out of the fire" as you say Darkblade. It sounds like this might be a good one. Also I heard about the hull image refractor and that also seems to have great potential. Thanks everyone !!
