Tactical Team III question.

Does...
Tactical Team III + Rapid Fire I + High Yield I do more damage then...
Tactical Team I + Rapid Fire II + High Yield II?

Cannon Rapid Fire II does 10% more damage then its predecessor.
High Yield II does 34% more damage then its predecessor.

While Tactical Team III buffs the Starship Energy/Projectile Weapon Systems skills by 30, while version I buffs by 18. So I guess the question really is...

How much damage does 30 points in Starship Energy/Projectile Weapon Systems skills do, is it 43% better or more than 18? :confused:

    Base weapon damage is

    <base damage> x ( 1 + ( <weapon Mk mod> + <shield tier mod> + <weapon skill total> + <equipment skill buffs> ) / 100 ).

    Mk x Weapon Mod is 100
    Tier 5 ship mod is 100
    Weapon skills (maxed) would be 99 + 99 ...
    and Tactical TEam would add +18 or +30 to weapon skills.


    100 x ( 1 + ( 100 + 100 + 99 + 99 + 30 ) / 100 )

    And then you have weapon systems power which is a multiplier for the adjusted base damage. 1x (50 power) - 4x (125 power).

    fairly easy to test this by yourself...if you have the expertise to spare.

    take 1 or 2 tac doffs...skill them acordingly. go in orbit over earth and activate the abilities as you suggested. Whatever number is higher on a single weapon in your weapon trey when you hover your mouse curser over it is the winner.
    Go pro or go home

    Since TT scales with alive crew, the difference becomes negligible in a fight. For full crew look here.

    Furthermore, beyond just simple numbers, TT1 gives a build more flexibility than TT2 or TT3; since some escorts have up to 3 ensign tac slots, whereas others have at most 2 Lt Cmdr tac slots, if even that. Some escorts, like the Defiant or HEC, have issues filling out the "third useless tac slot" so two tac teams, (*without* Technician DOFF's, mind you) fill that spot well.

    The best part about TT is the shield redistribution, and that works the same for all versions.
