Does "Starship Shield Maintenance" affect Science Team?

It doesn't list it in the game, but shouldn't this skill affect Science team since it's a shield skill?

    Science Team's in-game data says it's only affected by Science Team Leader, Starship Deflectors, and Starship Deflector Field.

    I suppose it could be affected by other things beyond that, because the UI data on skills...isn't always accurate. Indeed the UI data for Engineering Team contradicts itself when stating what skills buff it. Pay attention to what the powers window says for Engineering Team, and what the skills menu says - they aren't the same.

    But I'd assume that because Science Team is a Science power, it's only affected by Science skills. Not the Shield powers in the Engineering tree. That seems like a safe assumption to make.

    Also, bear in mind that Science Team was originally Medical Team in beta, and didn't do shield healing at all.

    Is there a way to see that in-game? Like something I can right click and it says "this skill is modified by TRIBBLE skill?"

    You can usually see what skills modify an ability, by opening your Powers window by pressing P. This window will show you what abilities you and your crew have at the moment based on whether you are on the ground or in space.

    So to see the details of Science Team, make sure one of your BO's have it and is assigned a station on the ship. Then make sure you are in space. Then press P. Science Team should be on that list, select it, and scroll down. The three skills that modify it should be listed there.
