    Performance works when you set your shield power over 50. Efficiency works for 50 and under.

    Thanks. It would be nice if the descriptions were more complete in game.

    In that case when the respec comes i probably won't even bother with weapon and shield efficiency as i keep both over 50 99% of the time, so spend the skill points elsewhere.

    Warp Core Training, Shield Maintenance and Efficiency all boost Emergency power to shields - and the efficiency stats do add a small boost at 50 - about half the boost given at 25

    Nope. Emergency Power to Shields is affected by Starship Warp Core Training, Starship Shield Maintenance and Starship Shield Efficiency.

    If you press P to bring up the abilities window and select an ability, the description will list the three skills that affect the ability (if any).

    However, Shield Performance modifies Rotate Shield Frequency and Reverse Shield Polarity, two powers that no cruiser captain should be without.

    Also RSF is my favorite ability in the entire game ^_^
