Ranking the Top 5 Star Trek Online Best Armors and How to Get Them
If you are a ground enthusiast, like me, in Star Trek Online, there are many things that you can do to ensure superior survival on the ground.
Grinding for the best weapons as well as locating and slotting the best armor will go a long way to maintain your health and survival on the ground.
In addition, depending on your career, you will often be providing ground support to other members of your team, whether from your fleet or pugging a Task Force Operation.
From the start, there are armors that are surprisingly good and will level with you, all the way to endgame perfection to tackle the most difficult situations.
While upgrading these sets to maximum leveling will eventually cost you tech upgrades, catalysts and possibly dilithium, most of them are free to obtain by playing missions in the game except for the Omega Set, my hands down number one choice in the game.
5. Na'kuhl Temporal Operative
Na'Kuhl Temporal Operative Set
When you play “The Temporal Front” mission in the Future Proof series, you will find out how valuable this armor can be. Designed to be worn as early as Level 10, this armor is scalable and becomes more devastating with each upgrade.
Armor Details
- The armor, personal shield, and minigun combine to deliver a solid ground set capable of impressive performance.
- The armor delivers a wide range of protection against several types of damage including physical, kinetic, energy, plasma, toxic, root, and knockback at MK XII.

- Provides rapid regeneration after no damage is taken for 3 seconds and 2 seconds, if you are crouching while it’s active.
- The bolt burst from the minigun provides a substantial plasma burst and a +2% critical hit chance while also delivering a biotoxin in the process.
How to get the Seta
- Play through The Temporal Front and repeat until you have all three pieces of the set.
- While this is available at Level 10, this set is worth the time to upgrade. It can be an end game armor set.
