Unstable Omega Reputation Numbers?

nodjianodjia Member Posts: 0 Arc User
I have been bouncing back and forth on both Fed and KDF sides of the game looking at the various omega reputation rewards powers. Specifically tier 3 and tier 4 powers have caught my eye because they have changed every single time I have logged in.

My first time looking at them last week I saw that the personal shield regeneration at tier 3 was stated as giving 85.6 shields per second. My initial reaction was something along the lines of "holy cow!" I only have something like 400 shields total, getting back 85 a second is kind of ridiculously good.

Then I looked at the tier 4 space shield regen power and see 945.8 shields to all facings every 6 seconds. Again my reaction is "oh my god, that is almost 4 times better than the best regen shields... and it is a passive AMAZING!".

Now, here is where it gets complicated. I switch characters and suddenly I see those same two powers listed as 4.6 shields per second for the personal shield (small but believable amount for a passive) and I see 12.7 shields per 6 seconds on the space shield (ridiculously HORRIBLY bad for space).

I have since logged in several times more and I keep getting different numbers, even when looking at them with the same character after logging out and back in. Some of them are in a believable range (4-10 personal shield regen and 72-200 space regen and others like the 85 per second and 900+ or <50 shields per 6 seconds are less believable).

Incidentally I have also looked at the kinetic damage bonus at tier 4 for space combat, and the values have had a range of 11 kinetic damage (garbage) to 790 kinetic damage (pretty decent for a random proc).

Does anyone else have this issue? If not, can someone please post the correct values for each power somewhere around here... it is really really hard to make a valid decision regarding these powers when I have absolutely no way of seeing the real values. I'm hitting tier 2 this afternoon and I would like to be able to make an intelligent choice before I hit tier 3.

Thanks bunches.

    Known Issue, space versus ground will give you different tooltip results on reputation abilities (all abilities actually, but it's getting more publicity with the rep system and the various TRIBBLE ups that it's been involved with). Make sure you're at the correct playspace (space for space abilities, ground for ground abilities) and check your numbers carefully.

    And also some of the stats were changed as well with last week's patch on friday, which is also why so much would look different.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    Ah, that makes some sense. Now that you mention it, I was in different play spaces each time.

    Thanks for the timely response and good info. I'll be sure to think carefully about them. I'm really debating whether I want the kinetic damage for my cruiser engineer, or just more "tank".

    Off to chart the unknown!
