Hit Tier 2 Romulan repuutation today and decided to go with the extra critical hit chance for space combat.
1. Went into space and checked my current level, it was 5.5%
2. Chose the "Precision" Tier 2 Romulan passive, which gives 3%
3. Checked my level again expecting to see 8.5% It wasn't.
In the real world, 5.5 + 3 = 8.5.
They teach this in 1st Grade; 6 year old kids understand the difference between adding and subtracting.
Cryptic Devs apparently don't, since my new critical hit chance in space is now 2.5%
Yes, that's right, in Cryptic math, 5.5 + 3 = 2.5

What was #1 in my original post?
I didn't land again before choosing precision and checking again, it was all done one after the other; check, choose, check again.
.
In fact I'm still in space.
I know that stats for ground/space give the wrong values when you're in the wrong half of the game, that's why I went to space as step 1.
After exiting the game and restarting, it's still showing as 2.5%.

Well, in fairness to the Devs, fractions are hard, and decimal arithmetic isn't taught until 3rd or 4th grade...
I checked on my character, and the +3% from the New Romulus Tier 2 ability seems to be working as it should for her. I didn't waste a respec token to re-slot it, of course.
No. He said that he started with 5.5% and added 3%, but it is now showing 2.5%. So it's possible he checked his starting crit in system space and then checked it again afterward in sector space, which would give him the 2.5% value.

There are no skills to increase crit that will show under stats/attack. Starship energy weapon specialization as an example won't show as it don't effect torps and mines. Playing as a romulan gets you Rom operative as do romulan boffs with the operative trait. Other then that only consoles like the Assimilated mod or Tachyokinetic etc will show crit under ship/attack. If you don't have any of the above then you're fine and it is working correctly. Works fine here btw.
Ensure you have chosen the space T2 and not the ground T2. Check your passives to ensure it's showing there. Maybe try swapping ships. Swap to a shuttle then back. I've had to swap to a different big ship then back to fix other issues i had before as swapping to shuttle and back didn't help. Is your ship injured and needs repairing. Hey i'd try anything at this stage.
So as OP stated his crit showed 5.5% Before he chose t2 rep. So i would have to agree with OP something is may be wrong with the t2 rep
After an initial test pass, I haven't been able to reproduce this in general. That leads me to believe that some Space Crit Chance increase on your character is not interacting properly with the Romulan Reputation increase.
What else do you have on this character that increases the Space Combat Critical Hit chance?
Alternatively, just let me know your character's name@handle and we can pull a copy of the character. Feel free to PM me if you prefer.
