Is there a passive benefit of “Deflector Dish” and similar stats in Star Trek online?

Question

There are several stats (Deflector Dish, Deflector Field, Emitters, etc) that you can have on your Deflector Array.

Do these stats have any passive effect?

Any effect at all other than increasing the strength of specific Bridge Officer abilities?

Answer 1

According to the Star Trek Online Wiki:

Modifiers

Some Deflector Dishes may have additional modifiers that boost various skills. It is possible for a Deflector Dish to have the same modifier more than once. The following are examples of Deflector Dish modifiers.

Modifier  Skill Boost
[Ast]        +10 Astrometrics
[Def]        +10 Starship Deflectors
[DefD]       +10 Starship Deflector Dish
[DefF]       +10 Starship Deflector Field
[EM]         +10 Starship Emitters
[HS]         +10 Starship Hazard System
[Sen]        +10 Starship Sensors
[SenA]       +10 Starship Sensor Array
[SenP]       +10 Starship Sensor Probes
[Spa]        +10 Spatial Anomaly
[ST]         +10 Photonic Theory
[TB]         +10 Starship Tractor Beam

Uncommon deflector arrays will have one modifier, Rare will have two, and Very Rare will have three.

So yes, modifiers active as passive effects. Furthermore each type of deflector dish(Deflector Array, Graviton Deflector Array, Positron Deflector Array, Tachyon Deflector Array) give different boosts to your starship.
