Jolan tru Captain!

Welcome to Legacy of Romulus!

*!*!*We are investigating an issue where some players are seeing a "login failed for unknown reason" error at the log-in screen.*!*!*

We are investigating a bug where some Gold Members may not have received their additional character slot -- details here (Will be fixed ASAP!).

UPDATE! We are also investigating reports of slow patching and are working on a resolution. For a better patch experience, please restart your launcher. It will pick up where it left off and should be faster to complete.

If you have purchased a Legacy or Starter Pack, please see this thread for instructions on how to claim your items in-game.

If you have additional questions about the Legacy or Starter pack, please read this FAQ.

Thanks, and we'll see you in-game!

Creative + Astrophysicist. The Saurians are indeed Scientists, however the Borg is an Engineer. If I add only 1 Saurian (no other efficient BOFFs) I still get +1. If I add the Borg only, I get +1. If I add both, I get +2.

Perhaps the outcome is also affected by current Power Levels? I have 25/45/30/100 and I get the mentioned bonus to weapons/shields/engines.

Efficient only applies when power levels are low. Perhaps the Borg boff has different functionality. Whatever. We'll have to wait and see if the pace picks up with the resolution of these old and new issues.

Efficient works fine, as mentionned previously it adds to Warp Core Efficiency.
If you're not seeing an increase with 1 Efficient BOFF, it just means that the increase was too low to be visible due to truncation: if your power in a subsystem goes from 50.12 to 50.47, it'll still show up as 50.

But I can assure you that it works and doesn't require an Efficient char, hence why I tend to use 5 Saurians/Letheans.

It is true that sometimes DR takes the effectiveness of Efficient down to half a point, in which case the difference is too low to be visible, but it is also the case that sometimes the skill simply doesn't work properly at all. The reasons appear to have something to do with permutations of captain and boff, and could probably be worked out with a couple hours of good solid internal testing.

The Trait itself functions fine, but we're experiencing issues with them propagating properly to your Captain.

We hope to have this cleared up in the very near future.

Any schedule on when this will be corrected?

Thx
