In the new Borg mission 'Fluid Dynamics', one of the rewards is a [Adaptive Transphasic Torpedo Mk XII [Dmg]x3 [Borg]].
I claimed this on my first run through, and it is no longer available as a reward for reruns. The description of the torpedo says nothing about being unique or that only one can be mounted per ship.
Is this a new feature mission that only allows the torp reward when those missions are being rerun by cryptic? I'd like to have at least another but I can't find any info on this.
Its an unique reward that can only be earned once per character. This comes from the Season 9 patch notes, buried somewhere amongst those other lines of dialog. Or it came from a Dev blog. Not sure which one.
That being said, updating the tooltip should be nice.

Thanks. Yes, it would be nice to see the 'Unique' tag in the descr.
Also, does anyone know if it is accidentally deleted or recycled, can it be reclaimed?
Reclaimed...as in for free? No. You got ECs when you deleted/recycled it.
But just like the Jem'Hadar space set, if you delete one of the parts (example: deflector), you can then replay the mission and that piece appears as a reward choice again.

Actually the Jem set is a permanent reward, there is no need to delete any part of it to get it again.
On the matter of reclaiming again you are wrong as there is no mention of free in the persons post. As long as it is still in the buy back list it is possible to get back, if it is no longer there then it is gone for good. That is not an option in this case given the length of time it has been, but if noticed striaght away it is.
And why the hell is this weapon so unique?? the only difference is , it deals extra damage to borg, and nothing more. In fact, the base damage is even worst than a regular trans torp.

Some rewards can only be claimed once per character, it has happened in the past so it should be no surprise it happened again.
The game use to drop anti Borg phasers, disruptors, and quantums in space Borg stfs, vary similar to this torpedo, would be nice if they brought all these specialized weapons back.
i just hope this bonus borg damage mechanism works better than the old omega force [BORG] modifier.
I have quantum, photon, plasma, transphasic, chroniton, and tricobalt torpedo launchers with the old (borg) mod. Cant say i ever noticed much of a difference with them.
The new one... i dont look for Dmg mods on my Transphasic, so it is pure meh.

Actually I like the older Omega Force modifier better, considering the new Multi-Conduit console that boosts radiation damage by +26.2%. Need to check my old weapons to see if they still kept the old mod or have been switched.
Could it be because they only award one since in the mission Surface Tensions Voyager only has one of these torpedo's left. It doesn't have rapid fire feature so I am not using it. It's funny in this mission taking down one of the borg cubes I found the first torepode in this series. Can't use that either.
The base damage is lower than a regular transphasic torpedo even if it says 3x dmg. That sthe reason i ask. Unless you use it against the Borg, its useless. And in the end, you will get only a little boost on the damage used against the borg, because as i said, the base damage already is too low.
It's funny they made the torpedo trasphasic since the borg have almost no shields and what shields they have are gone fast.
That is because the procs of the transphasic torpedoes are mistaken in STO. Original transphasics are totally different. It could happen that after 30 years, the Borg already adapted to transphasic torpedoes due to their encounter with Janeway, but if that is the case, they should be completely useless against the Borg.
Its not the case, so actually we dont even know what type of torpedoes are they. The transphasic originals should pass through shields like if they are not there. Like firing a non shielded ship. Not only that, the damage output should be extreme. Janeway used em to destroy the Borg (1 transphasic torp, 1 cube destroyed..). And they were weapons "from the future". So, honestly i never saw the sense of the actual transphasic torpedoes. Not at all.

That was a bio-molecular torpedo used against the Undine you're thinking about.

I am just saying about the mods.
I dont like Dmg mods anyway, especially on low dmg transphasics. I dont think i even slot this against Borg.

Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!

I think this is more a cryptic mistake than anything else.
VR Mk 12 with 4 mods? 3x DMG and 1x Borg?
Seems special and unique to me.

I still keep it in inventory though.

i htink its more a call back to "endgame" in the fact that the transphasic torp was starfleets big "anti-borg weapon"
Time will only tell!
