Notes[]

  • This set was added as part of Season Three: Genesis in December 2010.
  • As can be seen from the gallery, Federation player ships receive blue lighting effects from equipping the [Aegis Covariant Shield Array], while KDF player ships receive red lighting effects. Romulan player ships use the color of their allied faction.
  • In order to craft the Aegis-Set at the Current Version, you'll need to have the rare(blue) R&D: Aegis - DOff called Gumarre, or very rare(purple) Prof. Jefferson Hawk. Gumarre will be rewarded to Delta-Recruits upon reaching Level 1 in an R&D-Category. Gumarre may also be awarded from “Requisition R&D Assistance”. Prof. Hawk is only found in a Xindi lockbox.
  • Before introduction of new R&D system, Aegis set didn't have a Mark number. Instead, it leveled with the player level 40 to 50 as it required level 40 to equip.
  • Stats are given for those of a Tier 5 cruiser (59% bonus over Tier 1 cruiser with standard shields). The tier and type of ship will change the shield capacity and engine's flight turn rate.
  • Though the skill bonuses are fixed, the capacity and regeneration rate of the Aegis Covariant Shield Array vary depending on the players current rank and grade, meaning that a direct comparison to items with a mark number cannot strictly be made. However, at Vice Admiral 1 or Lieutenant General 1, the Aegis Covariant Shield Array is approximately equivalent to a Covariant Shield Array Mk X [Cap]x2. but with a 0.5% higher capacity and regeneration rate.
