The Aegis tech, is it really useful?

I just maxed out R&D and some of the first few things I really wanted was the Aegis set. I only have the Shield left to make, however I am wondering if the set bonus is really worth it or is the borg tech better? Keep in mind I am Sci spect for AOE damage mainly with photonic fleet.

    Depends. For PvP it's definitely better. There are some situations where the Borg set is better, but Aegis is generally a better all-rounder.

    aegis isn't really as good for cruiser, battlecruiser, dreadnoughts as the borg set is

    Doing the Borg STF's like Assimilation or Infected and such

    Oh...I thought you got something else entirely. Wasn't it a Borg Boff?

    Well, I guess I'll stick with the Aegis gear then if there's no chance at all I'll get it through STF.

    Well, Assimilation isn't actually an STF, but it's a darn tough mission when you do it Solo and don't keep a VERY tight reign on your BO's

    You get the borg boff too, but only for a special accolade. Standart reward is the borg shield.

    You don't get it from accolades per-se. You get both the Boff and the accolade by going off the beaten path in Khitomer Accord.

    About half-way through Khitomer Accord there will be an objective to destroy assimilation machines. Before you destroy them, stand inside one of them, then destroy it. You will receive an accolade. Once you've finished the mission, you will have received a mission from 4 of 10 (I think) which will be to collect your officer from Battle Group Omega. You'll get a Borg Science Officer. :D

    Borg Engine: STF:Infected
    Borg Deflector: STF: The Cure
    Borg Shield: STF: Khitomer Accord
    Borg Universal Console: PvE Assimilated (The Only one you can obtain on your own).

    I run the Borg set on my Defiant, and I can tell you that it isn't that good for that particular ship at least. The regenerator dosen't activate quite enough to make a diffrence for me, and I did have more sucess with the Aegis set.

    So why do I still run it you might ask?

    Captain of my Ship: Liberated Borg. (Lifetime member)
    Chief Engeneer: Liberated Borg. (Got that Pre-Order package)
    Sicence Officer: Disconnected Borg. (Khitomer Accord Accolade)
    Chief Tribble: Tribble of Borg. (Tribble Tester).

    ... Just seems natural somehow

    STOked did a feature on the Aegis and Borg sets when they came out. I suggest a quick watch of it if you have time. Its a great watch nonethless if you're a STO fan.
