So just 4 months ago, I released a new version of the CAB ratings site. Then WRG announced Fleet Boss Battles right after. Initially, I didn't expect it was going to require any changes to the CAB rating system - and then I realized how wrong I was and decided that the system really needed a Fleet Boss Battles component.
As I started working on it, it became clear that adding those scores into the mix would require major changes to the entire system. So I decided to rebuild it all from scratch - taking everything that worked on the old system, and adding improvements based on long-standing wishes that were too hard to integrate before and some other things I've learned along the way.
There is a new site: https://cabtools.app . The old one will still work, since it is more than just the Power Ratings now, I thought it was appropriate to make an update.
CABTools.app will host the CAB Ratings, The Faction Event Ratings, and the CAB Combo Chain Helper tool. Faction Event Ratings are still based on the old system but will be upgraded to the new system over the course of the next week.
So, what's different? The biggest change is that the highest rating is now 16.0. All other crew are dynamically rescored based on whoever the top score in any category happens to be.
Categories from before (Voyage (Vo), Faction (Fa), and Gauntlet (Ga)) are still present, but now also consider how powerful a crew is in their particular skill combination in addition to raw overall power. So, if a crew is strong in a rare combination, they will see an increase in score.
There are now 4 new scoring categories:
Ship Battles (Sb): This rating explores a particular crew’s potential use in Arena battes and Fleet Boss Battles. Of all categories, this one involves the most subjectivity – I mean, how do you rate Instant Damage vs. Attack Speed in terms of bonuses? Crew rated highly in this category are worth taking a look at, but ultimately – the best crew for you will be the one that best fits the abilities of the ship you chose and the division/boss level you are running in.
Boss Battle Traits (Bt): This category looks at the traits each crew has, and scores them based on how common or rare they are in the game. Crew with high scores in this category have a lot of traits, and many of those traits aren’t very common among other crew. Having several of these crew in your quarters may save you merits the next time you are looking for the perfect crew to unlock a node.
Collections (Co): Collections equal bonuses and rewards. The more collection tiers you can unlock, the more powerful your entire roster will be.
Cadet Challenges (Cd): Common, Uncommon, and Rare Crew are also scored in this category, which considers rarity, qualifying traits, and skill level to determine how potentially useful that crew will be when trying to clear nodes in Cadet Challenges.
All seven categories are then combined to produce an Overall (Ov) rating. Legendary and Super Rare crew do not have a Cd score, so that category is not considered in their Overall rating.
As always, I hope you find this tool useful, and that it helps to contribute to the decisions you make when you analyze your own crew.

I know not every crew can be amazing, but this rivals Commander Shelby for let-down factor.
