As I am beginning my journey into BoS this seems like an excellent opportunity to finally come to grips with CEM. That being said, is there a tangible benefit to running that stuff manually rather than allowing the computer to do it? Can you push the engine in a way that gives you an edge in combat?

Thanks!

Yes and yes.

Awesome, thanks for that resource. I kind of figured it was sort of like manual v. automatic transmissions: manuals are more fun because you can squeeze every ounce of performance out of the engine.
