After changing equipment, I had to tweak: The Experimental Romulan Plasma Array had saved weapon energy, and I felt the difference after changing to the Iconian Resistance set. I repurposed - no, not Mr Cooper - some shield energy, replaced Torpedo wrangler Law by a Warpcore Engineer and changed from Torpedo High Yield to BW Targeting Shields.

In space battles at the Gateway to Gre'Thor the ship is less of a supportive water bearer - though I did never really like closing green portals alone just because the Delta drive gave me extra jumps.
After noticing some of my solo stunts at ship yard and star base in the Delta/Plasma loadout the Iconians must have bought some upgrades at the Exchange.
After switching, to do a normal Phase 1 solo on a side seems to be in range again. I also notice more shield flickering - but nothing to get scared about.

The Delta set was shield-drain resistant, the Iconian set counters problems by a fail safe feature. Against Borg this means to look for your shield and hull a bit.
To porve that I took charge at the Cure Advanced, headed for Borg Cubes rather than circling near the IKS Kang and herding Raptors.
That caused a Time Optional delivered. I got my shields sometimes downed, hull slightly scratched, no casualties.
