Question about a Starship Trait mechanic and if it can affect weapons?

spacefortress

Hello, I am entertaining the idea of purchasing this lobi ship NX Escort Refit (https://sto.gamepedia.com/NX_Escort_Refit) because of the Starship Trait which does a 100% additional damage to beam overload for the next 30 seconds. However, I'm not certain about it's mechanic and if it affects the [Over] weapons or not? - [Beam] 2.5% Chance: Upgrades your next beam attack. Deals massive Energy Damage, but drains your Weapon Power.

My question to STO developers if they see my post and to other players with this Starship Trait "Preferential Targeting", does this trait work to buff a beam array with [Over] proc by boosting damage by 100%?

And while I get the chance to ask, would the Beam Overload Duty Officer that increases chance of shield penetration upon using Beam Overload work with the [Over] weapons, if the beam array procs an overload? (https://sto.gamepedia.com/Specialization:_Energy_Weapons_Officer#Beam_Overload_variant)

I feel like it should because the [Over] beam array upon successful proc 2.5% essentially does a beam overload and so I was wondering if both the Starship Trait "Preferential Targeting" and the Duty Officer Beam Overload variant affects the beam array weapon [Over]?

Thanks.
