New FE Reward Available Before Maintenance

ilithynilithyn Member Posts: 903 Arc User
As far as I understood the Reactive Armor Catalyst should be the new reward for the current FE after update, but for some reason it's already available as I just played through the episode and it showed up among the rewards. Not a complaint since I wanted that one far more than the other two, but it made me puzzled as to whether maintenance had already happened and I'd managed to somehow miss a day or something. But as I didn't get the spec point box I assumed not.

Now I just have to figure out which level of Engineering I need to manufacture these critters.

    Sometimes you get lucky. Little time to play before maintenance, but this may be a good opportunity to "preview" what that "reactive armor catalyst" does.​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Quote from the item info:

    Target self
    1/1 charges
    +2100 Hit Points over 10 sec
    +5525 Temporary Hit Points over 10 sec

    Skills that affect this ability:
    -Starship Batteries (Improved Battery Duration)
    -Starship Hull Repair (Improves Hull Healing)

    Unfortunately the character I did this on have no levels in R&D Eng and I can't be bothered to go do it on the one that does since I need to do it for spec point after update anyway. So I suppose that bit has to wait till after maintenance.

    Sounds similar to the deuterium surplus, but with a focus on temporary hitpoints. Could be useful on thin skinned vessels.​​

    Considering how fond I am of science ships and escorts I think I'll be finding these very useful indeed.

    Is the spec point box doing the week long timer or did they actually fix that this time?

    The weekly new unlock thing always becomes available before the patch, the weekly spec point box is added with the patch.

    Ah, didn't know that. I've never played the FE this close to update before.

    No idea, ask me after update as I played it Friday last week and intend to play it right after update today. So I'm a day "short" so to speak.


    Sidenote: Found out how to multi quote. Go me.

    Looks like the reward isn't on a week long timer anymore.

    I meant to get back to you on this and promptly forgot XD. And it seems you're right. I did the FE right after update and got the spec point box, so yeah seems like it's fixed. For now.
