19+20+21 = 35? Help with percentages!
in Ready Room
So mucking about with shuttles on my secondary account I noticed an apparent "boost" to the first person assigned to a shuttle. ie it looked as if they pushed the slider up further than the next assigned crew, so I picked crew with only one of the traits required for the slot and I got some weird values. I'm guessing the first crewperson assigned gets a "boost" of 10-15% and the others don't. Can anyone explain this for me? Does this boost actually apply or is it for visual purposes only? Why does it even exist?

Also, I think I remember reports saying that applying a shuttle boost to the lower skill actually boosts the higher one.
It displays that way on the on screen percentage, but I'm not sure that it actually flows through to the real results. Would certainly explain why event percentages seem to be more overstated than normal ones. People never use boosts outside events and then when you combine bonus crews you can get some 10-15% swings based on which calculation method is used.
I feel your pain. All of my premium crew are stuck on a voyage, so my Sec 31 shuttles have been <50% success.
Also keep in mind that the Event Crew bonus is NOT applied to the display % for success on your event shuttles. I can confirm this by the recordkeeping I did last week. Same crew for same Augment missions: during event succeeding around 90%, POST EVENT = 100% failure for ALL shuttle missions.
