How do we as players know this is working ingame? Can we get a small icon for when it kicks in like we do with Leech, Adapt and other similiar effects?

It is through repetition that we learn our weakness.
A master with a stone is better than a novice with a sword.
Has damage got out of control?
This is the last thing I will post.
That only indicates you have access to it. I still have it even when only one power level is above 75.
Good suggestion! So much more useful than that little passive-aggressive 'Transwarp to Fleet Enabled' icon (presumable there to make others go 'Oooo! I wanna be in a Fleet too, and spend Dilithium!'), which isn't even a buff, and should never have been there in the first place..
[Amp], however, like Sensor Analysis, is a buff, and should be displayed accordingly when it activates a buff in one or more of your subsystems, and not be 'on' permanently, like it is now.
It would be nice if you had a tooltip that you could scroll across those buffs and said what the hell it did.
And yes the "passive-agressive" fleet things dont need to be there.

125/100 W
77/50 S
56/25 E
56/25 A
Would give you 3.3% + 3.3% for the weapons and shields. Say you started cycling emergency power to engines and auxiliary which then made it look like this:
125/100 W
77/50 S
78/25 E
78/25 A
You would receive 3.3% + 3.3% + 3.3% + 3.3% for all four power levels being over 75.

I noticed this too when scrolling over but this icon is constant even when I did not achieve the needed 3at75+ requirement.

If it did that, I would prefer it be made self-view only. Don't need all my enemies seeing how juiced out my ship is/isn't.
I honestly did not know about this synergy bonus, so I have some questions about this that may be silly. Is this synergy bonus for everyone that meets those power level requirements? Does it require any specific gear or ship to get it?
My power levels in a normal space zone (not sector space) are as follows: Weapon=125, Shield=99, Engines=40, Auxiliary=76.
With these power levels, do I get anything from this?
Comes from anything that has [AMP] Like certain warpcores

You'll get [Amp] to proc 3 times, for 3x 3.3% extra dmg.
Mind you, though, just sitting in space is a poor way to test this, as it's your actual power levels that determine the bonuses. Pop that EPS Power Transfer III, for instance, and all your levels rise sky-high. Same for when Plasmonic Leech does its work. Or the effects of EPS Manifold Efficiency. Or a battery, etc.
Preferably, you'll set max power to the subsystem you need the most (125 to weps, mostly), but not leave any system so low as to not hit 75 when in combat. For me, my Engine power is rather low, but not so low that the Leech won't get it to 75. Otherwise you incur a 3.3% 'penalty' for doing so.
Hmm, wouldn't that kill your weapons overcapping?
He sure is.
But I was talking about popping a battery, from a weapons power starting level of 25, so as to get it to 100, as you suggested. Hence my question "Wouldn't that kill your weapons overcapping?"
And Marion, whilst a swell guy, can't help with that: he only mitigates drain (with DEM).
Ok joking aside, he's talking an alpha strike, if you don't kill the target in 1-2 seconds you've failed. Marion will stop a beam overload draining and will ensure most energy weapons are firing at full or close to full power. Also weapons overcapping only kicks in after firing weapons not before so it won't really matter.
Do you not notice your damage go up a lot when using nadeon inversion? Same principle but better because lulz, engineers must have second rate abilities

After the firing cycle ends, the 'reserved' power is being deducted from overcap buffer first, right? So yeah, that's probably not gonna mean all that much for an alpha-strike build.
P.S. Can you tell I don't PVP?! The Borg generally aren't all that impressed with one-shot alpha strike attempts. Unless they do them themselves, of course. :P
You incur a penalty? I thought AMP cores bonuses were only additions and any system that did not go over was a lost opportunity for +3.3% damage.
Energy Siphon always helps me.
As did I. As well I thought the bonus was only +3.3% for having three systems hit 75 or higher? To read this thread, it sounds like +3.3% for each power st 75 or higher.
Is that correct?

I'm sure your DPS is great, but as Kahless said, "a petaQ with high system mastery is still a petaQ." (Well, he should have said it...!)
