An interesting proposition, it took me a couple minutes to figure out how I explained it on the Power Efficiency page.

Using a base cost 50 ability (lets be real here, we all love invisiblity), it would cost you about 34.48 energy with Streamline (30%) + Essence. However the game would tell you that it cost you 35 (because it will round up for display energy).

Using Streamline at 25%, along with Essence, that same ability will cost you abou 35.71 energy, with the game indicating that it had cost 36. So the overall difference is going to be basically 1 point of energy. Which leads us to my recommendations:

My Loki uses max Streamline, Continutity, Enemy Radar, Redirection, Fast Deflection, Decoy, Switch Teleport, Invisibility, and my last 9 points are in the Vitality mod. I don't use the last slash polarity slot on my frame. Would I recommend this build? No, and here is why.

Maxing mods is almost never worth it. For the fussion core / mod cost needed to max a mod, another mod can be brought up almost to half of its max level. So I would agree with using Streamline at 25%, however not because of the same reasons as the man above mentioned.

I love Energy Siphon, and I love comments on this page like the man above's that aren't about how wrong my math is, and "where does this drop? What faction drops it?"

I'm actually surprised you read my Power Efficiency page, thank you, I hope you enjoied it, and found it some what educational. I should probably post my old analysis of Power Efficiency (when I had no clue how the game was calculating it) on the talk page...
