Best shields against Borg? (Space Combat)

[ava]

The only thing that is stopping me is their disruptor beams that wrip through my shields.
What type of shield would you recommend?

Spheres, Gateways and Cubes always seem to use some kind of green beam array that removes my shields very quickly. I'd like to counter it.

Try with the shields from the omega reputation.

Hazard Emitters. The Borg have a special attack called a Borg Shield Neutralizer(looks like a green spark that homes in on your ship and then creates a.. continous reverse-ripple around it). Hazard Emitters is the only way to cleanse the debuff.

Otherwise, anything with Plasma resistance will help protect you against their weapons.

The beams are green so it's either a plasma or disruptor beam array.
Is that what they use?

Whatever it is - spheres, cubes or mainly gateways - it removes my shields too quickly.
All of my engineer bridge officers' skills are shield-related so I can boost my shields whilst attacking.

EDIT: I used to have hazard emitters but they didn't prove to stop my shields from being obliterated.

EDIT: Reverse Shield Polarity does a brilliant job, but it only lasts for 9.7 seconds and the recharge time is awful.

You have to watch till you get the borg debuff, its pretty easy to spot. All shields decrease with each pulse, and theres a rippling green effect emanating from your ship. You have to use hazard emitters at that time. Then hit a shield heal, like science team or Epts.

Apart from this, what ship items will stop my shields from being removed rapidly?

Power Insulators will help with their shield drains - Cubes use the Shield Neutralizers, Cubes and Spheres fire those blue shield-draining Tachyon Beams.

Otherwise, a number of things could be contributing to weak shields - what shield are you currently using? What are your power settings? What do you have equipped in your science consoles? Which ship are you flying?

(Also, Borg use both Plasma Energy weapons and Plasma torpedos. They do not normally deal disruptor damage - the assimilated Klingon ships do, but that's a special case.)
