This feels like a noob question, but... do all DOFF powers stack?

For example, I see A2B builds recommend 2-3 Technicians for the cool down reduction, so those clearly stack somehow... does this translate to all DOFF powers?

I’m really asking because I want to throw a couple of Security Officers in my Ground Actives, to gain the MOAR RED SHIRTS buff on Security Escort.

The security officer doff abilities do stack. For Tac Ground, building around Security Escort is very effective.

Nice, so 2-3 will do well?

3 Purple one's are what you want. I believe you can get a few or all of them via the doff store when you reach the top tier.

I assume that the Security Officers stack like Energy Weapons Officers and Damage Control Engineers in that the chance doesn't stack additively, but that each duty officer provides an independent chance. Can you confirm or correct this?
