PS Generator is max, will Enhanced Personal Shields do anything for me?

I've been stalling on choosing a lot of my reputation bonuses because I can't choose and never bothered to research exactly what some of them do, but it's time.

If my PS Generator skill is max (9 points in it or 99/99) will the romulan reputation Enhanced Personal Shields do anything? Is there a cap I'll hit? I'll go with Lethality if so.

I'm wondering the same with Enhanced Shield Systems. I have 6 points into it or 84/99.

What exactly will those +30 points do? Will I have 139 PS Generator and 114 Starship Shield Systems? Just how big a shield bonus is that +30 anyway?

99 PS Generator will give you about 50% extra shields, if I am not mistaken. Add +30 to it and you should get an extra 15%.

I don't know about the numbers for the space skill, they might be the same if they follow the same formula as the ground one.

I don't believe there's a cap on PS hit points.

If you're an Engineer and looking into some shield tanking on ground, PS Generator is a very good skill, worth going 99 points with. Otherwise (Tac or Sci), not so great, because your shields will drop just as fast with or without 99 points.

My main is engineer and whoops some TRIBBLE on the ground.

So hmm extra 15% shields or +3% critical hit chance.

If psg skills suffer like so many others do from diminishing returns as you exceed the 99 value, than I would recommend going with the 3% crit chance.

But it is always nice to try and squeeze every little bit you can out of your psg, as these things drop like a ten ton hammer when hit.
