Not to be a nag.... but +7 weapon power consoles have been +3.5 since the start of the Skill Revamp. Was this by design? I don't think we have had a clear up or down on that issue.

Yes it was. They are using a new and more streamlined formula for these things that isn't as large and complicated. It tries to get the same results (Pre S5) with smaller figures.

I'll submit tickets tomorrow when I get a chance to play again. But I noticed the issue on ESD and in the Stranded in Space mission once you get aboard the Azura. I also tried comparing from my bridge (sounded fine) and my crew deck (echoes). This was both on Tribble and Holodeck btw.

The static problem seems completely gone on Tribble though, which is very welcome.

Update - submitted two bugs one from my ship interior and a second from a ground map.

double post

So it IS working then, you just want it to be a more pronounced benefit, I think.
We'll look into this.

LOL you cant even see it unless you squint with one eye and get up real close to the monitor.... or just hover on the power changey thingy to see the numbers. I didn't notice at first and thought it was not doing anything...

Used to be that we'd get at least a noticeable 5 or 10 extra power, which is why Efficient Saurians are so highly sought after on the exchange. (How else do you explain the 5-7 million price tag for them?)

Given present evidence, I'd say it's quite fair to say that now Efficient officers are only providing +1 (rather than 5 or 10) we most definately would like to see it return to pre-patch levels.

if you have multiple toons make sure you have check them all, one of my fleet mates was having the same issue and realized he did not look at all his mail and found he had some unread mail on another toon, after he read the mail the button stopped flashing.
