Warfare-links.png Command Bursts are modules that increase the effectiveness of one or several aspects of a ship. They can only be fitted to certain ships but are extremely potent as they will give their bonuses to every single member of the fleet (up to 256 people) as long as they are within the area of effect of the burst.

Command Bursts

The command burst modules come in five different variants, each with three different type of charges giving different effects, as well as a tech one and a tech two version of the command burst modules. The only notable difference between the Command Burst I and Command Burst II module is that the tech two module is +25% stronger and the tech two variant requiring the specialization skill.

You can find the modules on the market under the Icon gunnery turret.png Ship Equipment and Warfare-links.png Fleet Assistance Modules, whereas the charges are under the Icon market ammo.png Ammunition & Charges and Warfare-links.png Command Burst Charges.

Ship & module restructions

Command burst modules can only be fitted to ships of the following categories: Capital Industrial Ships, Carriers, Combat Battlecruisers, Command Destroyers, Command Ships, Force Auxiliaries, Industrial Command Ships, Strategic Cruisers, Supercarriers and Titans.

Ships Command burst modules allowed
Titans
Capital Industrial Command Ships [1]
Can fit three command burst modules.
Command Ships
Carriers
Supercarriers
Force Auxiliaries
Industrial Command Ships [2]
Can fit two command burst modules.
Command Destroyers
Combat Battlecruisers
Strategic Cruisers [3]
Can fit one command burst module.
  1. ^ Like the Rorqual.
  2. ^ Like the Orca and the Porpoise.
  3. ^ Requires the Warfare Processor subsystem.
Command Processor rigs

There's a rig called Command Processor I that will allow your ship to fit an additional command burst module. The rig uses Icon calibration.png 150 calibration so ships are limited to +2 more command burst modules due to the high calibration cost (as ships cannot have more than 350 - 400 calibration available). This will allows an Orca to fit up to 5 command burst modules, command ships to get 4 command burst modules, command destroyers to fit 3 command burst modules etc. The balance comes with the fact that you'll be giving up precious rig slots, which often drastically lowers the tank potential of the ship.

For the armour and shield command burst using the Icon armor reinforcement.png Armor Reinforcement Charge or the Icon shield extension.png Shield Extension Charge it usually pays off to have one person run it, as the maximum bonus (+21,56% hit points) will give you a higher boost compared to a Module icon armor rig tech2.png Trimark Armor Pump II or Module icon shield rig tech2.png Core Defense Field Extender II rig (+20% hit points), not to mention the fact it gives this bonus to anyone within range.

Industrial core

The industrial core is a module that the Rorqual can fit that gives additional bonuses to Mining Foreman and Shield Command Bursts, but only when activated. Activating that core locks the ship down in a similar manner to how siege works.

Type of core Effect

Module icon industrial core ii.png Industrial Core II +30% bonus to Icon mining command burst.png Mining Foreman Burst strength.
+200% bonus to Icon mining command burst.png Mining Foreman and Icon shield command burst.png Shield Command Burst area of effect range.

Weapon Timer

Icon timer weapons.png Upon activation of a Command Burst-module will give you a Weapon Timer.
(for the duration of the cycle-time of the module, which is 60 seconds)

Not only will this stop you from docking in a station or a citadel as well as disallow tethering, it also means that you cannot refit with a mobile depot or if you're near a ship with a ship maintenance bay and refitting services. This is most notable on gates (as you cannot follow while having a weapons timer) or when you need to dock up or tether. But for all practical purposes, this just means that people running Command Burst modules will have to pay attention to their weapon timer just like any other combat ship in EVE.

Duration and cycle time

Icon warp time.png While the cycle time of the Command Burst module is 60 seconds, the effect can range from anywhere between 60 seconds to 129 seconds (depending on your leadership skills).

This means that the boosts will last for a while even if you're destroyed. It also means that you'll be able to safely reload inbetween bursts and still have time to fire off a new burst before the old one wears off. If you leave your Command Burst module cycling automatically, this will of course mean that you'll technically burn twice the amount of charges you would burn if you manually controlled the bursts. The charges are relatively cheap, so you don't have to micromanage your boosts unless you feel the need to.

Skills

There are several skills influencing the effect of command bursts, be that their strength, duration, area of effect range or reload speed.

Calculating Command Burst bonuses

For those wondering how these different bonuses are calculated, here's the math behind the way CCP calculates Command Burst bonuses.

Formula for strength

The various multipliers for strength are calculated as follows:

Strength = Base charge bonus * (1 + (specialization/100) * (1 + (module/100) * (1 + (ship/100) * (1 + (mindlink/100) * (1 + (core/100)[1]
  1. ^ This is a unique case for the Rorqual using the Industrial Core module.

Due to the nature of multiplicative bonuses (as opposed to additive), the more bonuses that are stacked, the stronger they become.

Formula for duration

For duration the multipliers are calculated as follows:

Formula for reload speed

Since reload speed is affected by fewer things, the calculation is simple:

Scaling bonuses

Given the number of skills, ships and implants available, here's a table showing the relative bonuses for a few key milestones.

Here's an example of how the strength of certain modules scale with skills, ship bonuses and implants.
