I can see an ability being activated every 60 seconds (only the visual effect) but they do not actually have any effect to ship stats all. For example, Emergency Power to Shields does not improve power levels of Shields. Attack Pattern Omega does not change any related stats either. And I assume Photon Torpedo does not work as well which I was not able to test.

For example I do see that when EPTS 1 procs, your shield glows as if healed, but there is no icon indicating you are under the effects of EPTS 1, plus you do not gain the shield power bonus nor any of the 30 sec duration benefits from gaining EPTS 1.
The same thing occurs when you gain APO 1, the icon and timer does not appear nor do you get any of the benefits from the attack pattern, like the damage or movement speed. etc. I have tested using omega 3 over the omega 1 and confirmed none of the bonuses and benefits are being applied.
I have yet to see TS 1 be applied as a proc and i have been checking every minute for the last 20 minutes.
This seems like a great space trait to have for some extra bonuses but it seems to not be working. Can you please look into this and fix it please.
Additional testing done, per CSR request:
I have switched between ships and the effects of the trait are still the same. You can see the flash of a skill activating every 60 seconds but you do not receive any bonuses. Switching back to the original ship returns the same behavior as well.
So as of now rogue scientist aboard space trait, is bugged and broken, the trait is interacting with certain traits, but not with DOFFS. For example: having assault formation theta slotted, and the omega 1 proc occurs. The rogue scientist aboard trait does proc formation theta and grant torpedo HY 3 as if you had used omega 1, but you still don't receive any bonuses pertaining to APO 1. When EPTS 1 procs, there is no interaction with the warp core engineer DOFF that provides a boost ship power. I am sure there are other combinations to try but off hand these are the ones that i have equipped at the moment.
If anyone has the trait and wants to try it on different characters to see if the bug applies to them that be great since i only bought the one copy from the exchange.

Still not working, are you sure?
In my case, the visual effect is there but nothing else like changes to stats and buff icon for the duration of the ability.
Although you haven't said the word bump. But saying still not fixed can be taken as you bumping a thread which is against forum policy, so be careful.
It may be a case of the team not being able to replicate the issue in house, or as I have already stated I have no issue with the trait so there might not be anything to fix.
In any case some things do take time. so sit tight and be patient.
I monitored it in Defense of Starbase One and Borg Disconnected (both Advanced difficulty). Also watched it for a few minutes in New Romulus System space. Same deal everywhere - visuals pop with no effects.
Playing Romulan tactical captain flying a Legendary Scimitar.
Activating other Emergency Power or Attack Pattern abilities doesn't seem to matter in terms of cooldowns or preventing bridge officer abilities from working or anything like that. Rogue Scientist Aboard simply just doesn't do anything.
