So who else likes the new devidian personal shield (I forgot the actual name lol). Its actually stronger then what I originally had.

I'm disappointed because they don't (as the Breen cluster torpedo or retrofit phasers do) scale. That means, unless I "magically" reach VA before this runs out, I'll be stuck with MkVIII shields. :cry: They'll probably end up on one of my BOffs! They don't have any benefits to my previous shields (have the same HP but increased regeneration % and resistance to Devidians, but I don't think I'll be fighting Devidians very often after this rerun! My others had an AoE knockback chance. I'd rather have that or a more common damage type reduction.) Actually, if anyone knows what "676% increased regeneration" means, I'd sure like to know! 
Also, it would've been kind of cool for a visual "aura" to surround the player (either a blue glow or a fuzziness to reflect the "0.004 phase variance", whatever that means. At least it comes from a TNG episode, Time's Arrow and is not as weird as having Data say the blinking of his eyes is "governed by the Fourier Series" :roll: ), but oh well. I don't know what the lowered "proton" resistance means. Does that mean everything but antiproton weapons? I still need to get the cane I keep hearing about. I did get the transmitter device (who can't beat "Spin the Wheel?" hehe)
Edit: about the "676% regeneration increase": I'd think that, with a near eight-fold increase in shield regeneration, my shields would be almost always charged. What does that mean? It increases seven times as many HP per cycle, or occurs seven times as often? With only 338 shield HP, I don't think it works either way (or else regular shields recharge REALLY slowly! I thought they recharged fully every three seconds....)

This shield isn't a limited time reward, it will be available forever. The Breen ship setand weapons are also rewards that are forever. The only limited time Breen reward was the Bridge Officer and the currency. The only limited time Devidian reward is the Ophidian cane, and the currency.

I was hoping for that also! I'm kind of sad that it isn't like that.

I'm not really sure what that means. I do know that it was better then the shield I was using and I crafted that shield.

The cane is limited! Oh no! My time is nearly up, and I don't have it. I definitely need someone to help me get past the mission that has the cane. Those Devidian missions are HARD. :o (except for "Spin the Wheel". Run that every 30 min to get massive rewards, though aside from the SP, BOff points, and Merits, the rewards aren't great: 25 4th order exploration badge for me. I don't even know what that is! The Tetryon guns are cool, though. The blast one does massive chaos! But they're Bind on Equip.)
I'm hoping someone can help me run through the Romulan missions. I haven't even played them yet. I do want to try them myself, but given the time constraint, I'll need help for the rewards.
You've already done the first four devidian missions, and honestly the last one isn't that hard. Well except for the last space battle, EVERYONE has trouble with that and EVERYONE dies a few times. Honestly getting killed in the game is nothing to get upset about, unless you are playing on Advanced or Elite. The injuries that your character gets from them can be annoying.
I digress. I'll gladly help you out with the last devidian mission, but try it yourself. Use the walkthrough on the site if you need help.
Now that I'm RA and get higher mark items, I'm going to try replaying the Breen episodes to get the actual set. Someone changed all my gear, ship (Star Cruiser from science), and gave me a little hope that I might actually succeed for a change! I haven't beaten a mission by myself for a very long time — so hard!
Thanks for helping me get through these Featured Reruns that are time-sensitive. There's no other way I could do it. :?
