Notes

• The numbers given above are based on 125 aux power with 94 points in the Shield Restoration skill.
• The damage reduction buff depends exclusively on Auxiliary power. No other skills or abilities affect this buff, but the buff does stack with other damage reduction buffs, items and skills.
• The heal and HoT provided by Transfer Shield Strength depends heavily on four factors.
  • Ability Rank
  • Auxiliary power
  • Shield Restoration
  • Starship Tier
• Fractional points in skills (from Threat-Scaling Science Consoles) or auxiliary power Trait: Efficient Captain, Warp Core Efficiency, Warp Core Potential, and other items which affect power levels) will affect the formulas below.
• Formula for Instant Heal
  • Heal = (Aux Power + 49.95) * ((Ship Tier + 1) / 2) * ((Ability Rank + 2) / 3) * ((Skill / 200) + 1)
• Formula for Heal over Time
  • HoT = Heal * 0.285

Damage Reduction Buff

The amount of damage reduction buff depends on the ability rank and the player's current Auxiliary power level.

Formula

• Rank I = (Aux Power * 0.1) + 2
• Rank II = (Aux Power * 0.1) + 6
• Rank III = (Aux Power * 0.1) + 10
