After 25x Firings of Boff Firing Mode: Torpedo Spread 3 w/ Entwined Tactical Matrices triggering Beam Fire at Will 1 and Cannon Scatter Volley 1, the Active Space Duty Officer: Vincent Kish, Weapons Expert proc'd 0% of the time.

After 25x Firings of Boff Firing Mode: Beam Fire at Will 1 w/ Entwined Tactical Matrices (triggering Torpedo Spread 1), the Active Space Duty Officer: Vincent Kish, Weapons Expert proc'd 25% of the time; Upgrading Beam Fire at Will to II.

After 25x Firings of Boff Firing Mode: Cannon Scatter Volley 1 w/ Entwined Tactical Matrices (triggering Torpedo Spread 1), the Active Space Duty Officer: Vincent Kish, Weapons Expert proc'd 33.33% of the time; Upgrading Cannon Scatter Volley to II.

A modest test but indicative that this duty officer "25% chance on using Energy Weapon Firing Mode I or II to use II or III instead" does not work with the triggered firing mode when using Entwined Tactical Matrices: "When activating Torpedo Spread: *Applies Fire at Will 1 and Scatter Volley 1 to self"

When Entwined Tactical Matrices triggers Beam Fire at Will 1 and Cannon Scatter Volley 1 - their triggering through Entwined Tactical Matrices deserve to proc the duty officers Active Space ability, as the "Energy Weapon Firing Mode" criteria is met, even though Torpedo Spread # firing mode was used to initiate.

Not a bug - doffs that trigger off boff skill activations ONLY trigger on the actual boff skill, not when they're triggered by other means.​​

This makes perfect sense - you activated TS3, so the Doff doesn't do anything.

I'll move this to Suggestions Forum then - can't say I'm not disappointed that it only can proc from a manual activation and not a trigger of what the Doff ability describes "...using an Energy Firing Mode".

And did you use an energy firing mode, or did ETM trigger it as a bonus?
This is not the only trait that does this sort of thing and bonus triggers do not count on the other relevant doff abilities either.
You may not like it, but that's just the way the game works.
