So Reason 3 I buy into fully. The AEGIS graphics is nice. I also do like the shield design.
Battery levels (imho) are minimal impacts unless you are able to stay in battle full time, and even then, weapons draw down power substantially. My take on crew, and much reading is that crew is useless. Perhaps Cryptic will fix crew, but I fly a cruiser, with a few thousand crew, and I too tried consoles that boost crew life and repair, and they will still sit at ZERO in a large significant battle, So if crew is 0, power negotiation is pointless.
My point? I find that anything you can do to either BOOST shield power, or boost shield recovery is prime to survivability. As far as hull heal, it is secondary, and with low cooldowns on one of a few sci/eng abilties, you can recover easily provided you have enough shield to live long enough.
If we were talking PvP - its a whole different world. Take a look at my Tal Shiar Tetryon build. I do not use anything inherit to % defense on plating, but PvE players, and many 1v1 PVP players find it infuriating to kill me because I heal heal heal. CE(A) is a tickle 100% of the time.
I might have to try the AEGIS, but I still love the Borg sets. (the Jem-Hadar now that it can be upped to XIV is attractive).
Feel free to chat in channel and we can do PvE missions for rep marks. I enjoy any space. Ground is not my focus but I can hold my own
