What is the difference between Warp Theorist and Efficient Captain?
Efficient Captain gives you +10 to the 4 Space Combat stats (+10 Weapon, +10 Shield, +10 Aux, +10 Engine) this I understand...
BUT What does Warp Theorist do?
+10 Starship Warp Core Training
==>Does this mean that this also give +10 Weapon, +10 Shield, +10 Aux, +10 Engine also?
Slightly wrong. Efficient gives bonuses to the 4 Space Efficiency stats. There are four later level stats that (mostly) modify the Emergency Power to.... skills, and they also give bonuses to the power level of its specific system.
Warp Theorist just gives a straight up +10 to your Warp Core Training stat, which also helps with the Emergency Power to ... skills (and any other power related skills), but gives no bonus power to any system.

Actually, Warp Core Training does affect your power levels, not by alot (something like 2-3 points extra at 50 or below setting). WCT is not, ofc, as efficient as the x Efficiency skills.

Actually WCT is more efficient than the x Efficiency skills for a given individual skill. However, you can't get it as high as the Efficiency skills.
+10 WCT gives you +2.5 to power levels at a 25 power setting. Half that at a 50 power setting.
+10 Efficiency gives you +1.67 to power levels at a 25 power setting, again half at 50 power, and only applies to the specific subsystem for the given skill.
The advantage of efficiency is that when you train it to 9/9, you're +52, while WCT 9/9 is +18. Of course that doesn't help with traits at all.
