time to work on getting my Borg set..  :D

I think it's pretty damn lame that they changed most of the Borg set from mission rewards to you having to get data chips from STF missions to buy them.

For my Tac VA, this was not quite as big a loss - I got the five chips in about ten minutes (got lucky with a drop in a space run), and I only needed the shield to complete the set. But if you're just starting for it, and you're after the MACO/Honor Guard/Omega Force set, yeah, save the EDCs. I personally think the salvage should be made available to get that stuff (AFAIK, it's not), but that's just me.

I've already got 3 Mk XI MACO/Omega set peices through Rare Borg Tech, before I've even saved up 40 Encrypted Data Chips.

Shame you've GOT to do elites to get Mk XII stuff...


Also Joshmaul, is that your name in STO too? I noticed a joshmaul during the Odyssey 'launch' event.

you get EDCs from STFs, you automatically get one per normal run or two per elite run, plus there is a chance to get them as loot drops too, and every Wednesday they give out double EDCs for one of the STFs on a rotating schedule.

Which means if you want this awesome stuff, you'd better have friends that play the game at the same time you do.

they've made the STFs a lot more PUG friendly, so it's not too hard, unless you get someone who doesn't pay attention.

Neither do I.

Also...I don't know why, but I had 3000 skill points when I hit VA, and I still got the Slipstream. :lostit:

Indeed so; character-wise, Underwood is my Tac VA, while Devaneaux is my Eng LG (I was also at the Bortas launch, heh).

Don't worry they're not releasing a new version of Gal-X in the C-Store, they're just letting you able to move over your SS console from the Gal-R
