Trait: Efficient/boff

Functionality
Efficient increases a system's power levels more when at lower power settings, based on the following formula:

SystemPowerBonus = (SystemEfficiency/533.333...) x (75 - SystemPowerLevel) (outdated)(corrected 10/8/2013

Where SystemEfficiency is the value from the skill Starship Warp Efficiency and SystemPowerLevel is the setting you select (i.e. 25, 50, 75, 100).

For example, if you have an efficient captain (+10 efficiency to all systems), an efficient bridge officer (+5 efficiency to all systems), and have maxed out Starship Warp Efficiency (+99 efficiency to all systems) you would see:

SystemPowerBonus = (114/533.333..) x (75 - SystemPowerLevel) at 15 power: +12.825 power at 45 power: +6.4125 power at 75 power: +0 power

Thus, the most economical use is where you typically have low power settings as there is no effect once you're at a power setting of 75 or greater.

Stacking
This trait stacks with both the player trait Efficient Captain and additional bridge officers with Efficient.
