Based upon what I've read from google (4 years ago)..
the tooltip showed cat 2
testing showed cat 1
trait is working for beam overload
not working for BFAW
a note about the trait possibly getting "adjusted"
final disposition unknown
There is a bug report in this forum here from 2 years ago.
However, the trait is listed at 3 out of 4 stars for energy builds (for beam builds including BFAW and BO) in the math people's list of starship traits. They are usually a pretty accurate bunch. Have a look (think it must have gotten fixed) but it doesn't necessarily answer your question though.
