Skill: Starship Warp Core Efficiency


 *  Note: This skill was replaced by .

Starship Warp Core Efficiency is a Tier 2 Engineering skill available to all Starfleet and KDF Lieutenant Commanders. Each increment of this skill costs 1,500 skillpoints.

Details
This skill improves all your ship's subsystems power levels under certain conditions. The lower your power level is set at in any given subsystem, the more of a bonus you get in that subsystem from this skill. This skill grants no bonus to a subsystem whose power level is set at or above 75.

Abilities Affected
None directly.

Rank Progression
Single Point Value: (Multiplier 0-12 per power type; (0-60)/5; or multiplier 0 - 60)


 * Every 1 point in Warp Core Efficiency = +0.001875 Bonus Power per 1 base power setting below 75 base power setting, or +0 - 0.1125 Bonus Power per power type /w +-0.001875 intervals Bonus Power
 * Every 1 points in Warp Core Efficiency = +0.009375 Bonus Power per 5 base power setting below 75 base power setting, or +0 - 0.1125 Bonus Power per power type /w +0.009375 Bonus Power per 5 base power setting
 * Every 53.3333.. Point in Warp Core Efficiency = +0.5 bonus power per 5 base power setting below 75
 * Every 106.6666.. Points in Warp Core Efficiency = +1 Bonus power per 5 base power setting below 75

Multi Point Value: (Multiplier 0-12 per power type; (0-60)/5; or multiplier 0 - 60)


 * At 100 points in Warp Core Efficiency, every 5 base power setting below 75 base power setting = +0.9375 Bonus Power, or +0 - 11.25 Bonus Power per power type /w +-0.9375 intervals
 * At 200 points in Warp Core Efficiency, every 5 base power setting below 75 base power setting = +1.875 Bonus Power, or +0 - 22.5 Bonus Power per power type /w +-1.875 intervals
 * At 106.666.. WCE, every 5 base power setting below 75 = 1 bonus power, or +0-12 Bonus Power per category/w +-1 intervals.
 * At 213.333... WCE, every 5 base power setting below 75 = 2 bonus power, or +0-24 Bonus Power per category /w +-2 intervals.

*Note: Power Setups can range from 100 - 125 total base power under 75 in all categories. With Focused setups having the latter and generalized setups having the former. This comes out to +0.1875 - 0.234375 bonus power per point of WCE with intervals of 0.009375 bonus power per 5 points of total base power setting below 75. This multiplied by the total WCE will give the total power gain over all categories for any build!

Formula
The formula for the subsystem power bonus according to this post(outdated) is:

Subsystem Power Bonus = ( Skill Level / 533.3333... ) * ( 75 - Current Subsystem Power Setting )(current/corrected as of 10/7/2013)

Example: A skill level of 100 and a current subsystem power setting of 15 will produce an efficiency bonus of +11.25.
