Notes

• The amount distributed is increased with your ship's current Auxiliary power levels at a rate of about +2 to Weapons / Shields / Engines for every 5 Aux.
• This combos well with EPS Power Transfer - boost all power levels with Transfer, then use Aux to Bat to dump the boosted Aux power to the rest of the ship. With Rank III Transfer, this can turn equally-distributed power on a ship to a burst of near-maximum levels for Weapons/Shield/Engines. Alternatively, the ability can be used just before the EPS bonus runs out to prolong the effects of boosted weapons, shields, and engine power for another 10 seconds.
