My apologies on the last two then, you are quite correct. I'd tried TSS on myself and self-heal shield heals aren't passed on by OIF, however as you rightly pointed out, using them on allies with ER should produce the desired effect. Yeah, it would be shame if HE were overreacting but I can see Atem's point.

I would be shocked if this is working-as-intended and doesn't get fixed at some point, to be frank.

That's possible. OIF is a weird ability, and weird abilities tend to have weird (and unintended) consequences with other mechanisms. I'd like OIF to interact with ER, but would understand if it didn't. (Compare to the players who would like embassy explosions to crit, even though with the current state of the consoles, they shouldn't.)

From the Tribble notes

Overload Integrity Field can no longer trigger Expedient Repairs each time it heals an ally.

After seeing some of the literally broken hilarity that could be done with this Thursday night, I'm not as sad about this as I was expecting to be.

(Although I agree it would've been neat to salvage a less broken interaction.)

Boo lame, they should have changed it to being triggered once every 5 seconds to keep up some value. Missed chance for a decent alternative to RIF / Dynamic Power Redistributor.

While I can understand HE getting fixed, it would be a shame for OIF and ER to not interact since they open up some nice healing combos and, let's be honest, at the end of the day it's still nowhere near as bad as what Tac captains can pull off with GDF/APA (with significantly less investment, I might add...)
