Efficient No Longer Worth It?

Are BOFFs with Efficient still worth their price? I have 2, but they don't seem to help much.

Power Levels No BOFFs With Efficient
Weapons 119
Shields 59
Engines 38
Auxilliary 38

Power Levels 1 BOFF With Efficient
Weapons 119
Shields 59
Engines 39
Auxilliary 39

Power Levels 2 BOFFs With Efficient
Weapons 119
Shields 60
Engines 40
Auxilliary 40

    My power levels before the Efficient BOFF:
    125/74/53/42

    My power levels after one Efficient BOFF:
    125/74/53/43

    So, I would say no....they aren't worth it.

    Once I can buy a Superior Subterfuge Romulan BOFF, I will replace my one Efficient BOFF.

    Were those numbers changed drastically? Or were they never really worth it?

    It's always been that way.

    Before, Leadership was broken, and Romulan Operative didn't exist, so Efficient was really the only working BOFF space trait.

    Now I'd say it's:

    Romulan Operative >> Subterfuge >= Leadership > Efficient > (no space trait)

    Edit: looks like Subterfuge has a defense bonus now

    Sure would be nice if we had options for leadership with the KDF faction......
    Roms got two available Feds got two available KDF has one that hardly does anything at all. ...Really???:mad:

    According to stowiki(maybe it was silently changed recently?) +15 warp core efficiency should provide a bonus of +2.5 power to subsystems set to 25 power (bear in mind it's setting, not current level) and half that value at 50 (+1.25).
    Looking at the changes on tribble, it seems that the best boff species will be: 1 human, 1 romulan tac with +crth/crtd, (optionally romulan cloak boffs if you use a ship with a cloaking device) and efficient boffs.

    Forgive my obvious lack of knowledge with this question, but I assume that since you say "1 human" that Leadership doesn't stack?

    they stack ,but they were nerfed on tribble and probably he has some other vet boffs or something.

    It would be nice if we'd have more traits for boffs.Also Saurians will always suck because they are ugly :p

    Last time I checked Leadership didn't stack on Tribble but I'll check it again when I'm able to. It might have been a display issue because my hull repair rate seems to jump around like crazy on Tribble even if my able crew number remains constant.

    They're buffing the Efficient Captain trait on Tribble- doubling its skill bonus from +15 to +30. No word yet if the boff version of the trait will be similarly improved.
