What do the various science-related stats improve? For instance, how does improving hazard systems, deflector field, and astrometrics (to name a few) help my ship?

Thanks in advance! =)

    If you right click on a piece of equipment it will give you a more detailed list of what it does.

    You might find the Character Basics link in my sig to be helpful.

    Open up your Powers menu (default P) and click on your various powers to see what skills modify them. Then you will have an easier time determining what you should put points into and what sort of equipment you should buy.

    Too bad the game is so vague about these things.

    You really have to look to figure out what each skill and item relates to, to know what to train and equip.


    I knew some people who were fitting Spatial Anomaly consoles, because they thought they'd get better Unknown Anomaly tokens for Memory Alpha when they scanned. While it's amusing at first, it's also indicative of a greater problem.

    Cryptic needs to speak plainly about how everything works.

    I struggled with this too. After finding out exactly what deflector, array, or system did what for my science abilities but right clicking (as noted above) I went up to the console vendor and checked out what consoles did what. I made a list, and then I went to the exchange and bought consoles to help my science BOs abilities. any sci consoles that did not fit I scrapped, or in some cases sold.

    I'm glad I spent the time, since previously I was guessing - which is no fun.
