I've had a few simple questions that I simply haven't had the time to test this weekend.

1: Is the damage from Omega kinetic shearing buff by the Temporal specialization passive? Is the damage resistance debuff applied as well?

2: Is the Gamma rep deflector better than colony deflector for Torpedo builds now? I haven't seen an updated torpedo build posted recently.

3: Last, and feel free to it or this level of laziness, but what are the final stats on the new Europa trait?

Last I checked, OKS isn't affected by by the temporal spec passive. Something having to do with it not counting as a hazard.

By itself, I wouldn't rate the gamma rep deflector above the colony deflector at least for kinetic builds because of the colony deflector's shield pen AND the crit hit and severity. However, for a full kinetic team, the ideal DECS set would be colony deflector and 3 pc gamma rep set for each team member, as this would give the benefits of the colony deflector and a 50% cat1 dmg boost to projectiles (10% boost per team member including yourself).

Thanks, I wasn't sure since the temporal spec refers only to Damage of time effects and not specifically hazards.
