You need a certain amount of the same sockets/powers before they will activate. For example, Auto-Healing requires 5 of them before it will activate its level 1 (heal crew by 100 hp at end of turn). Level 2 requires 8 in total. Every character can have a maximum of 5 "charges" of the same power per socket. So a character with 2 sockets could have 5 Auto-Heal and 5 Despair Resistance.
