List of sci boff abilities and how they fail:
Edited in yellow

Sci Team
- needs to cleard debuffs for 10 seconds like TT. Seems to be disputed.

Transfer Shield Strength
- Is OK

Hazard Emitters
- Clears too many debuffs. Including E-siphon, tykens... should only clear applied debuffs (plasma fire, acetone etc), not location debuffs (like siphon, tykens)

Tractor Beam
- Ok as ship ability Higher levels should hold better. )"as ship ability" means not ok as pet/mine ability)

Tractor Beam Repulsors
- Is OK

Polarize Hull
- A bit weak, slight movement resistance increase needed

Tachyon Beam
- Useless due to resists in PvP, and insane shield cap in PvE. Needs to be buffed 400%. To clarify: against a NPC or a player with resists, this 10 sec ability will drain 10% of their shields. fixing resists would help in pvp, but raising efficiency would help both PvE and PvP

Charged Particle Burst
- Same as Tachyon beam

Photonic Shockwave
- Needs to get range and damage slightly increased. And stun properly! Damage should be tied to aux power (?)

Photonic Officer
- Needs to be made a lot more effective.

Gravety Well
- Pulls too weak, damages too little

Tykens Rift
- Too weak as normal, too strong when the doff proc gives 2 or 3 stacking rifts

Jam Sensors
- Basically useless. Needs remake.

Scramble Sensors
- Too expensive to make it work well. Needs a little buff.
- Crap in PvE, as all the good NPCs are immune

Energy Siphon
- Needs a little buff

FBP
- Too weak without tac captain buffs, too strong with them.

Mask Energy Signature
- Works ok?

Viral Matrix
- Ok for pvp at the moment for three reasons:
1. Doffs make it a lot more potent
2. Is not aux dependant
3. Everything else is worse.
- useless for PvE

Shared cooldowns that make it a lot worse:
- GW and Tykens
- Tykens and ES, You need the combined drain to acomplish anything.
- TSS and FBP, when FBP can be used to your advantage, that's when you really need TSS.
- HE and PH

Feel free to disagree or add comments or suggest changes.

I'll make a few notes of my own on them....

Or tac team needs a kick in the nerf spot.

Agreed its fine.

It also clears Tykens.... about the only thing it doesn't do is clear nukes. lol

I like tractor beam 1 as it is... I hate that they made versions 2 and 3 hold longer instead of hold more... that needs a change... its nothing but annoying cause the only thing that runs 2 and 3 are npcs... and I love getting tractored for 16 seconds by some noobs lucky dread call.

Indeed this one works well.

I like the thinking you have here... polarized hull doesn't do enough really... I know its not cannon but ya a small buff to turn rate or something as well could make this one more widely used... not aux to damp good... but something around 50% of an aux to damp might work well.

On the money these both suck... well they don't suck enough really.

ya I don't think 5k would be game breaking... and considering the 7.5k bump extend shields got I think it would still be a great synergy of point counter point in the 2... right now the extend counter is at a pretty big disadvantage.

I am one guy that doesn't want to see a buff to this one... mainly cause due to doffs the potential to abuse Aux to Bat + an improved version would be pretty high. However I could get behind a replacement pak version of the tech doff... that would say increase the effect time of Photonic officer.... this would make it an option with out allowing for the abuse of both abilities together.

This one I disagree on... honestly GW is a great skill right now as it is... people don't understand it... honestly a fully speced (graviton) GW... pulls like a mother... throw in doffs to proc secondaries and this skill is honestly pretty usable... when I have built a ship for it I have been able to keep a GW out at pretty much all times with a mix of doffs.

Agreed on this one the doff was a bad idea... its also cleared by hazards wtf ? lol

Also bugged at the moment... I have respawned scrambled and had to log to fix grey out issues... this one needs a complete overhaul and bug pass.

wile sci skills that drain shields basically don't work, a sci ship with rapid fire cannons and 4 flow cap with 2x TB3s and a Trac Beam doff strip shields harder then CPB and TB ever did. im still not convinced power insulators defends against glider and Trac beam correctly like it does CPB and TB.

Tractor beam should be a ship ability, not a Boff skill. Put it on a 1 min cool down with the power of TB1. Boff TB skills could boost the ships tractor beam. The Doff system already assumes I have A Tractor Beam anyway, I keep having missions that require my tractor beam officers to complete. Just yesterday I tractored a Jem Haddar warship. I don't have a tractor beam on any of my ships.
I like using PH as a hull resist but agree a little turn boost would be nice. & I'm loving my Hazard Emitters, anyone not using this wonder skill is insane. I wonder if Hazard Emitters can debuff insanity.

I'd be interested in hearing more opinions on all of the above. As well as testing scenarios, if you run them, even if only anecdotal (no solid figures, that is).

Indeed. Does not last long enough. All Teams should be extended to 10s.
It's alright, I guess. Good for a transferable HoT.
No to this one. It's only real function is to clear those debuffs, it picks up Sci Team's slack. This should be kept as is, any nerf would make it useless.
Ehh... I personally think the DoT should go to the hull, and the range needs a little buff. Also, as is, the 4-piece Borg Set tractor beam isn't worth the Shield cap reduc at the moment. Needs CD reduc.
I guess, never used it.
Yes. Even with this, MS can and is reduced by even low-level tractor beams. The damage resistance bonus could also stand to gain a buff.
This, this, and more this. The power doesn't do the canon justice.
CPB is effectively useless in its design. It's an AoE cloak detect in an environment where cloak detect is useless in PvP and effectively null in PvP, since everyone decloaks outside its range. Unless you're almost certain they're nearby, it's a waste.
This, but only a little. After all, there is the C-Store PS Torpedo. I'd say a scaling range is in order.
I totally forgot this existed. This IS totally useless, and that's only because the only cooldowns that are moderately long aren't affected by it. Should affect Captain abilities.
I agree with the damage part, but a smart player can really pull that pull off. I typically combine my GW3 with a High Yield Tricobalt, and it's sufficient.
Personally, I've never been a fan of power level reducers, they always seem almost totally useless (unless you're disabling it, most subsystems aren't really affected). In PvP, between resistances and high power settings, it's crap.
It's useful in a few situations. My main issue is that it breaks too easily. Should also give damage debuff.
Also, a projectile speed increase wouldn't hurt. It is painfully slow.
See Tyken's Rift.
Try combining it with Reverse Shield Polarity and Tactical Team. Makes a REALLY good DPS Bane setup, even if they're all only tier 1.
I don't use Tyken's or ES, so no opinion there, but the TSS/FBP shared CD has been a pain in my behind recently. When I need FBP is usually right after TSS (because I pop RSP, FBP, and Tac Team when my shields are really low, but I also try to boost them with TSS).

dont forget the almighty... Mask energy signature.

Well I agree a 12-26k Hull heal is completely useless.

With husanak on this one, TT needs a major nerf. we can all run our team skills effectively at global CD so i see no reason to buff em. St1-3 are all good don't forget the burst heal.

+1
sort of agree, pushes resists, clears everything and the cat, needed for STFs, and also makes you ship pretty, could loose some awesomsauce
Scales very poorly TB3 is useless, i don't like how mines can freeze a carrier at full impulse, would like them to be more string like, actually binding ships, not sure how aux scales, but the HOLD is what counts, not the DPS
for now
shared CD with HE is the one to keep in mind, slight movement buff would be nice, how about giving some of the HE clearing to PH?
agreed, shields resists is the way to buff these
while stun chaining sucked, with the new immunites this could go back to being a stun power, should be more equal between tacs n sci
has always been useless complete makeover imv
Neither should rely on doff procs, pull is way to weak, would really love to see husanaks build, color me curious
yup, acc counter, or Beam Target Subsystem counter come to mind
pure griefing power with meh results
only if it doesn't break siphon pods
agreed

Viral Matrix
Current FOTM, only great because nothing you can do about the Doff procs,without em its meh, but the best we have right now. still weaker then a friggin phaser proc (no shields offline) , maybe a slight adjustment to the duration formula?

Mask Energy Signature
i loled, completely useless, revamp not even sure how to salvage it without giving feds a cloak.
Maybe replace it with the KHG 3pc bonus, and give something more usefull to the KHG set?

Sci Boats
Beam subsytem targeting 1
needs a buff, if only on sci boats, cd reduction might also be an option

Sensor Analysis
could tic a little faster, if you want sci beam boat to be viable again, we have cruisers with 5 tac consoles now....just saying

And Viral Matrix... but I use the CRAP out of MES. Any character without a cloak has it, because I'm addicted to Stealth. MES has saved me from a LOT of combat... but my use of it isn't a happy thing. Why can't ALL ships have Cloaking devices? Technically speaking, the original Romulan Star Empire was dissolved after the Hobus supernova. That nullifies the Treaty of Algeron, which means it would be legal for the Federation to develop and utilize cloaking technology.

And personally, I like the thought of cloaking my Odyssey. Not using cloaks gives the Empire an advantage in the war. If Cryptic wants to really push the war home, have Starfleet go all-out.
