    I am just about to produce a Assimilated Subtranswarp engine from the Task Force Omega Reputation. And I was wondering if it is worth completing the set with the deflector and shields. And what the benefits to having a full set is?

    Thank you for any suggestions.

    Hi there Eclgbl,

    The Assimilated set is certainly one of the oldest sets in the game. Whilst there are certainly more powerful sets out there, the Assimilated one is possibly one of the easiest to get (if you grind lots of Borg STFs) and its a very defensive orientated set.

    https://sto.gamepedia.com/Assimilated_Borg_Technology

    Have a look at the above URL, it provides full details on the specs of all the individual parts, and the set bonuses.

    I use the full set on my main KDF character. It's okay. If know there are better performers out there, but this does well enough that I don't feel like it holds me back (my shockingly mediocre piloting is probably my biggest hurdle at this point).

    EDIT: you asked about the full set's power. It's fun when it's available, but its cool down time (3m) is just diabolically too long.

    It's a good 'starter' set for end-game content. Although people usually mix and match alot of different stats to gain the best performance and bonuses rather than use the complete set from a single reputation, depending on their respective builds.

    Thanks for all the advice, its good to hear other peoples opinions. Think I will try the full set to start with and see how I like it. Then if I replace parts of it later put what I'm not using into my bank. Then I at least can go back to it at a later date.

    I put the engine on my Tier 5 vesta for doing Tour The Galaxy, the ship and engine are perfect for it.

    Overall the set is pretty tanky. STORyan has a video on Youtube of him doing ISA solo in a Galaxy using the borg set.

    If nothing else, after you craft them if you don't like them, they make great ship uniforms. Drop them in your Visuals. All the pretty-pretty of the Borg set with better equipment actually driving the boat.

    That video is three years old and a totally different meta was in place back than you can't compare it to today.

    I'm very fond of this set,even though it has been nerfed to being nearly useless. Reason being, I got *dozens* of these items back when Infected took two hours or so, Cure ground was a well-coordinated affair with SCI captains tanking the final boss, and the 4+ hour Assimilated tour (and even then 1-3 ppl may not warp into the final boss fight in space). *HOURS* of fu....nnnnnn!!!!!! (notice the extra ! as I entered the "getting a bit stupid realm).

    As it is true... those pieces took a lot of effort and commitment to get. Thus their value is way beyond their usefulness.

    Then I sold the majority of them and got about 50 million latium... when there was a time to turn them in. /cry. Smile

    I ran the 4-piece back in the day, and I'm sure it's on a ship somewhere.

    Nowadays the marks are mainly used to replace the MACO shield that I keep forgetting is in the vanity slot when I discharge ships. Mad

    The Omega set is still good for ground, in that you want at least one BOff to wear it for the team-wide set bonus.
