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 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 at or above 75.

Due to the way in which this skill applies its bonus (only when a subsystem power level is at less than 75, increasing incrementally the lower the current power level in that subsystem), Captains should weigh up carefully the value of this skill before committing large numbers of skill points to it. Only subsystems which consistently run at low power levels will receive a worthwhile bonus.

Abilities Affected

None directly.

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The formula for the subsystem power bonus according to this post(outdated) is: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

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