Does the Warp Core Engineer (Subsystem Power variant) stack?

I have been trying to search for any information that clearly answers this question. I have been trying to find out since yesterday, but cannot find anything by Google, or the search feature on the forums.

I know that if I have three of them, it will increase the chance of at least one of them activating. However, if two or more activate, will it stack, so that I can have a higher bonus to subsystems?

The doffs abilities are as follows:

White 20% chance: power levels +10
Green 20% chance: power levels +15
Blue 20% chance: power levels +20
Purple 20% chance: power levels +25

If they don't stack, then it would be pointless to run with more than 2. However, if they do, three would increase my chances of at least two of them stacking.

Thanks for any jelp.

    I didn't know that. Well, I will just transfer the others over to another Klink. Lol. Thank you for that.

    What about the damage control engineers? Can I put more than one on the active space roster?

    By three variants, does that mean that I cannot use three of them that reduce the cool down of EPTX?

    You can equip any 3, including 3 clones if you want.

    You can only equip 1 WCE.

    You can equip 3 DCEs of any variant, but stack the EptX ones.

    The magnitude of DOFF abilities never stacks when you have multiple copies. Only the chance of triggering stacks. For example, three DOFFs in your example would give you three "dice rolls", each giving a 1/5 chance. However, this does NOT mean that you get a 1/25 chance of "doubling up"--the other dice rolls are discarded the moment that one triggers.
