Systems

 * The Shield Heal applied by the Shield Distribution Officer, known as the Brace for Impact Duty Officer, has been reworked:
 * It no longer has a heal-over-time component, but is comprised of a single lump-sum heal.
 * It is no longer dependent upon Auxiliary Power and Flow Capacitors, but now receives a benefit from Shield Emitters.
 * It can now only be activated a single time within any 15-second period, per officer of this type equipped.
 * The buff stripping proc provided by unique Energy Weapons officers, known as the Subnuc Duty Officer, has been reworked:
 * Chance to proc has been increased from 0.5% to 1%.
 * The target of this proc will become immune to further procs from this same type of duty officer for 15seconds after being hit with it.
 * This immunity is specific to this Duty Officer power, but will prevent further effects regardless of the source of the proc.
 * I.e, even a 5-man team with these equipped will max out at one proc per target, per 15 second period.
 * Resolved and issue with Klingon Temporal Ships: Krenn and Korath.
 * Korath incorrectly had 2 device slots and now has 3.
 * Krenn incorrectly had 3 device slots and now has 2.
 * If your Krenn had a device in the removed slot, that item will appear in your inventory or overflow bag.
