Deflector Array

Assimilated Deflector Array Mk XII
+5 Auxiliary Power
+26.2 Starship Structural Integrity
+17.5 Starship Inertial Dampers
+17.5 Starship Graviton Generators
+26.2 Starship Power Insulators

Dyson Deflector Array Mk XII
+17.5 Starship Shield Emitters
+26.2 Starship Structural Integrity
+17.5 Starship Power Insulators
+26.2 Starship Particle Generator

Results

    The +5 aux on assimilated doesn't do crap
    Both carry the same hull hit points
    The dyson gives your gravity well more kick than the assimilated (26.2 to 17.5)
    assimilated grants a higher resist to energy drain (26.2 to 17.5)
    Here is your key difference: assimilated grants resist to holds (17.5) whereas dyson adds more shield healing (17.5). Holds are extremely easy to break (polarize hull/attack pattern omega)


Winner: A tie. The +5 aux and hold resist can be useful in ways more than shield healing can (especially for someone who doesnt have OPO or PH slotted)


Engines

Assimilated Subtranswarp Engines Mk XII
+5 Engine Power Setting
+13 Flight Speed
+11.2 Flight Turn Rate
49 Sector Space Transwarp (Approx Warp 14). Max speed modified by Driver Coil skill.
+16.5 Full Impulse Flight Speed
Full Impulse
All Power to Engines
+110.2 Flight Speed
Diverts all power to engines

Dyson Combat Engines Mk XII
+2.5 Shield Power Setting
+2.5 Engine Power Setting
+2.5 Auxiliary Power Setting
+15 Flight Speed
(Efficient at Low Power Levels)
+6.4 Flight Turn Rate
+16.5 Full Impulse Flight Speed
Full Impulse
All Power to Engines
+110.2 Flight Speed
Diverts all power to engines

Results

    Dyson has shield power, auxiliary power and engine power (2.5 each) as opposed to assimilated's engine power (5).
    Dyson has +15 flight speed to assimilated's +13
    Assimilated has +11.2 turn rate opposed to Dyson's +6.4
    Full Impulse is same

Winner: Dyson because it has 2.5 more power points than assimilated and its power spread is in good spots

Shield

Assimilated Regenerative Shield Array Mk XII
+5 Shield Power
4927.5 Maximum Shield Capacity
(10% Bleedthrough)
256.6 Shield Regeneration every 6 seconds
Reduces Plasma Damage to Shields by 15%

Dyson Regenerative Shield Array Mk XII
4,927.5 Maximum Shield Capacity
(10% Bleedthrough)
273.8 Shield Regeneration every 6 seconds
Reduces All Energy Damage to Shields by 10%
Reduces Antiproton Damage to Shields by 20%
When receiving damage while a shield facing is depleted, 100% chance to apply:
Hyper Regenerative Shield Array
+1,200 Shield Regeneration per facing
Reduces Damage to Shields by 67% for 10 sec

Results

    Both have same base capacity and bleedthrough
    Dyson has higher regen
    Assimilated has +5 shield power and 15% reduction of plasma damage to shields opposed to Dyson's reduction of all energy damage by 10%, reduction of antiproton damage by 20% PLUS the regenerative shield array


Winner: Dyson because it is painfully obviously better, there is just no denying

Warp/Singularity Core

Dyson Field Stabilizing Singularity Core Mk XII
+5 to 15 Shield Power, based on your Singularity charge level
Maximum Warp Factor 10
+17.5 Starship Electro-Plasma System
(Improves Power Transfer Rate)
50% Reduced Cooldown on Transwarp
+0.2 Slipstream Speed bonus

Singularity Shield Capacitor
Drains your Singularity power to augment your Shield Power.
+28.1 Shield Regeneration
Gives up to 30 Shield Power based on your Singularity level.
Repairs disabled shields

Results
Both are pretty good cores (fleet is better compared side by side but these go to the 4 piece)

Set Bonuses

Assimilated
Set 2: Autonomous Regeneration Sequencer
Set 3: Multi-Regenerative Shield Array

Dyson
Set 2: Shielded Critical Systems
Set 3: Proton Barrage
Set 4: Reactive Shielding

No I am not putting the full explanation of bonuses down, you can refer to sto-pedia.

Results
This will compare the similar abilities in the sets.

    Proton Barrage vs Tractor Beam - the barrage is far more useful because of the buff stripping, shield ignore and more burst damage than the tractor beam BUT you have to point the nose of your ship at just the right angle to maximize it's potential, because of that I will give a tie here
    Regeneration Sequencer/Regen Shield Array vs Reactive Shielding/Shield proc - Hull heal and procced shield regen/cleanse vs Shield heal and guaranteed dmg reduction to shields - Both are viable, I have both on two different toons
    Dyson gets additional +20.3 Starship Inertial Dampeners and +20.3 Starship Power Insulators, which is more shield/energy drain resist and more hold resist


Winner: Dyson has only a very slight edge over Assimilated and thats only with the 4 piece. If you really want to find yourself unkillable and able to do good damage their are better options to go with for example an escort/torp boat to use adpated maco engines/deflector and maco shields or a beam boat to use assimilated engines/deflector and maco shields

Overall thought
This is just from my personal experience but the dyson set seems to lean heavily towards science toons, in fact its what I run on my science toon. The more buffed shield and damage that ignores shields is to good to pass up, in fact the entirety of the dyson rep seems to lean heavily towards science and shield pass through with a strong emphasis on boosting the players shielding and resists. Hope you all enjoyed my look at the two sets side by side.
