Reman Shield vs. Aegis....

Hey gang,

What are the "specs" for the Aegis? Is it Mk XI equiv [cap]x2? Or does it have regen?

I'm asking because I finally crafted (expensive!) one yesterday and comparing it with the reman shield on my tac/cruiser cap the aegis had ~7.8k capacity while the reman had ~8.1k or so.

I know the aegis has shield perf bonuses and should help in the resist/regen dept. but wondering if it's that much better than the reman shield. I don't have the aegis equipped yet so if it isn't that much better I'd give it to another char or sell it.

(for reference I hardly ever PvP I'd like to get into it but can't seem to fit it in my game time right now, so really I just solo heavily PvE).

    It's Mk X with 2 Cap - the reason people pick Aegis over Covariant Mk XI with Cap is the set bonuses - both are actually wonderful.

    Exactly, the Reman shield rocks and I use in on alternate ships but my main ship stays with the Aegis set so I don't loose the set bonus.

    If there were a Reman set, it might actually be competitive.

    But presently, the Reman shield isn't on part with the Aegis or Borg set. It's the kind of equipment that has a much greater value to a player while he's leveling a character from 6 to the 40s as a decent piece of equipment that also changes the appearance of the ship as well (it's actually the only piece of equipment that does other than the existing sets).

    Guess my refined question would be what if I don't have the set? Just the shield? :)
