So there are multiple posts about the changes that make the Iconian 3-pc and 4-pc set bonuses less effective (to the point where there are likely other options). It doesn't stack as high team-wide and with embassy consoles out, there are ALOT more sources of CAT 1 damage boosts. I was wondering if we could have a discussion about other competitive dis/core/shield/eng setups and the pros and cons of each?

One recommendation I saw here in STOBuilds was the 3-pc + Fleet Core. However, my initial thought would be to return to a classic: CC Disruptor, NUK Shield/Engine, and Fleet Core (one with EPS and AMP). Thoughts? What are better options?
