Discrepancies in Traits names and values

I thought I'd throw this in here. I am quite not sure if it's a bug or some sort of feature, so apologies if this was mentioned anywhere, however, I discovered that traits in your character's Status, under Passives, display both different names and numbers, compared to when you pick the traits.

As an example, there's a trait 'Physical Strength' - if you look at that trait at the Trait list selection, it says it gives 15% bonus to your melee attacks. However, when you look at the same trait under your Passives, at your character's status (mouseover it), it's suddenly called 'Superior Physical Strength' and the value listed there is 20% instead of 15%.

The same goes for other traits as well, the labels in brackets denote the discrepancies compared to the list, if you do mouseover your trait -

Aggressive (Superior Aggressive)
Peak Health (Superior Peak Health)
Acute Senses (Superior Acute Senses)
Borg Neural Blast (Superior Neural Blast - here it also leaves out the 'Borg' from the name)
Peak Health (Superior Peak Health)

And as said above, the values displayed when you mouseover over your trait, are also out of sync with those at the trait selection. So, the question is, which values are actually real?

To illustrate my point, picture can be found here.

    That is because you are using a liberated borg for which get superior traits in some of the available traits, otherwise the trait would normally be just basic if they were a normal race like human. Odds are with all the bugs in this game it is treating you the same as the unique borg boff.

    Actually, that is not the case. My Betazoid character had the same, and I asked my friend who plays Gorn, who had the same issue too. So it's not because I play Borg.. hence why I was wondering. My friend is not even a Gold sub/LTS, so it's not even matter of that.

    Like I underlined with all the bugs in this game it is probably treating you and all others as though they are boff's granting superior traits. Only speculation considering as captains we should have superior traits!

    Totally agree, that Captains' traits should not be inferior to those of BOFF's. <.<

    Alas, this is weird bug, and imo should be fixed, because as it is now, it's really confusing. Might want to add, that a character on low level doesn't have this bug on them. I specifically checked, to see if lower levels got the 'Superior' mouseover bug too. But nope, their skills show up without the 'Superior' prefix.
