Does this trait still affect Emergency Power to Waepons/Shields/Engines/Auxiliary?

    On Tribble at least, it does not. Can anyone confirm this to be working as intended?

    IF you are talking about the EPS Manifold Efficiency trait, yes it still works. Though it is a flat 15 seconds as the Battery Skill is gone, the previous maximum was 20 seconds with 9 points in Battery Expertise.

    It was patched in tribble to not be associated with battery skill.

    The battery skill has been dumped to being a bonus that double the lifespan of devices, apparently lots of people weren't using it.

    Those crafted 20% damage boost batteries are looking pretty good if they have a 30 sec life span and you have a quartermaster doff that takes the other batteries to global - 20% boost, 15 sec later random battery maybe shields or engines, 15 sec later 20% boost again, rinse and repeat for as many batteries as you wish to eat. Don't even need a purple doff( 150m) for global, blue is fine, not checked green.

    No, I'm referring to the skill Electro-Plasma System Flow.

    EPS affects the speed power transfers into subsystems, not the maximum power you get from EPtX.

    With the revamp, EPS no longer provides an increase to the power gained by EPtX.

    Pity.

    Is it a well placed nerf, an oversight or intentional design?
