Revision as of 07:59, 9 June 2022
Reason: December 2021 Mining updates - Industrial core changes on the Rorqual, and new industrial core for the Orca. Rorqual and Orca changes to boost strength and ranges.
64px | 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. |
Prior to the Ascension expansion of November 2016, Command Bursts existed as a set of modules called Warfare Links (or just 'Links'), which provided similar effects but with less flexibility.
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. Compared to the Command Burst I, the Command Burst II consumes slightly more CPU and Powergrid to fit, and requires training in the burst's Specialization skill, but in exchange fires bursts which are 25% stronger than the bursts of a tech I module.
Upon activation of a Command Burst module you will get a weapon timer for 60 seconds (equal to the module's 60 second cycle time) and the bonuses will spread amongst any and all fleet members within your area of effect range. Both the duration and area of effect range is highly influenced by your skills and if you're using any of the special command mindlink implants or industrial cores.
Command Bursts are affected by legality in high security space, removing the benefit of fleet members in high security space if they involve themselves as third parties to wars or limited engagements. See remote assistance for more details.
All Command Burst modules require the Omega Clone State to be used. However, any character can benefit from bursts fired by fleet members.
Command Burst modules | Command Burst charges | Effect | Base | Max [1] |
---|---|---|---|---|
Armor Command Burst | Armor Energizing Charge | Armor Resistance Bonus | +8% | +22.50% |

+9% +18% |
+25.31% +50.63% |
Electronic Superiority Charge | Electronic Warfare modules: Range and Strength bonus | +9% | +25.31% | |

Interdiction Maneuvers Charge | Tackle module range bonus | +12% | +33.75% | |
Rapid Deployment Charge | AB/MWD module speed increase bonus | +12% | +33.75% |
- ^ This assumes that all relevant skills are maxed, use the tech two variant of the command burst module, a ship with the strongest bonuses and the best command mindlink.
You can find the modules on the market under the Ship Equipment and 16px Fleet Assistance Modules, whereas the charges are under the Ammunition & Charges and 16px Command Burst Charges.
Skills
There are several skills influencing the effect of command bursts, be that their strength, duration, area of effect range or reload speed. These skills are all under the Fleet Support skill family, and thus require the Charisma attribute to be trained quickly.
Leadership (+7% range per level, +35% max)
Wing Command (+6% range per level, +30% max)
Fleet Command (+5% range per level, +25% max)
Command Burst Specialist (-10% reload speed per level, -50% max)
Armored Command (+10% duration of armor bursts, +50% max)
Armored Command Specialist (+10% strength of armor bursts, +50% max)
Shield Command (+10% duration of shield bursts, +50% max)
Shield Command Specialist (+10% strength of shield bursts, +50% max)

Information Command Specialist (+10% strength of information bursts, +50% max)
Skirmish Command (+10% duration of skirmish bursts, +50% max)
Skirmish Command Specialist (+10% strength of skirmish bursts, +50% max)
Mining Foreman (+10% duration of mining bursts, +50% max)
Mining Director (+10% strength of mining bursts, +50% max)

Ship & module restrictions
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 | Strength & duration bonus | Range bonus | Command burst modules allowed |
---|---|---|---|
Titans Capital Industrial Command Ships - Rorqual Industrial Command Ships - Orca |
No bonuses +5% and +3% to two racial types +3% and +1% to two racial types |
+200% range +50% range +50% range |
Can fit three command burst modules |
Attack Command Ships Fleet Command Ships Carriers Supercarriers Force Auxiliaries Industrial Command Ships - Porpoise |

+2% to two racial types No bonus +2% to three racial types |
No bonus +50% bonus +50% bonus |
Can fit one command burst module |
- ^ Requires the Support Processor subsystem.
Racial types
Several ships get multiple bonuses to Command Burst modules.
Race | Primary | Secondary | Tertiary [1] |
---|---|---|---|
Amarr ships | Armor Command Burst | Information Command Burst | Skirmish Command Burst |
Caldari ships | Shield Command Burst | Information Command Burst | Skirmish Command Burst |
Gallente ships | Armor Command Burst | Skirmish Command Burst | Information Command Burst |
Minmatar ships | Shield Command Burst | Skirmish Command Burst | Armor Command Burst |
Triglavian ships | Skirmish Command Burst | Information Command Burst | |
O.R.E. ships | Mining Foreman Burst | Shield Command Burst[2] |
- ^ Ships like Strategic Cruisers get three racial bonuses.
- ^ With the exception of the Porpoise, who only gets the mining bonus.
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 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 Armor Reinforcement Charge or the Shield Extension Charge it usually pays off to have one person run it, as the maximum bonus (+22.5% hit points) will give you a higher boost compared to a Trimark Armor Pump II or 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 Burst modules, but only when activated. Activating the core locks the ship down in a similar manner to how a Dreadnought's Siege Module works (immobilizing the ship and blocking remote assistance, but significantly amplifying the ship's defenses and other abilities).
Type of core | Effect |
---|---|
Industrial Core I | +30% bonus to Mining Foreman Burst strength. +150% bonus to Mining Foreman and Shield Command Burst area of effect range. |
Industrial Core II | +36% bonus to Mining Foreman Burst strength. +200% bonus to Mining Foreman and Shield Command Burst area of effect range. |
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] |
Here are two examples of how the strength scale with skills, ship bonuses and implants. This assumes you swap to a tech two module once you have the required skills for it (indicated by the tech two icon in the chart).
The following is a bonus-scale for the 8% resist bonus:
Ship bonus | Base | Command Specialist skill | Ship skill | |||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Attack Command Ships (+4% per level) | 8% | 11% | 12% | 13% | 14% | 15% | 15.60% | 16.20% | 16.80% | 17.40% | 18.00% | 22.50% |
Rorqual / Fleet Command Ships (+3% per level) | 8% | 11% | 12% | 13% | 14% | 15% | 15.45% | 15.90% | 16.35% | 16.80% | 17.25% | 21.56% |
Supercarriers / Strategic Cruiser / Command Destroyers (+2% per level) | 8% | 11% | 12% | 13% | 14% | 15% | 15.30% | 15.60% | 15.90% | 16.20% | 16.50% | 20.63% |
Orca / Carriers / Force Auxiliaries (+1% per level) | 8% | 11% | 12% | 13% | 14% | 15% | 15.15% | 15.30% | 15.45% | 15.60% | 15.75% | 19.69% |
Battlecruisers / Titans (no bonus) | 8% | 11% | 12% | 13% | 14% | 15% | - | - | - | - | - | 18.75% |
Here's a bonus-scale for the -15% duration bonus:
Ship bonus | Base | Command Specialist skill | Ship skill | |||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rorqual (+5% per level) | -15% | -20.63% | -22.50% | -24.38% | -26.25% | -28.13% | -29.53% | -30.94% | -32.34% | -33.75% | -35.16% | -43.95% | -57.13% | -59.77% |

Formula for duration
For duration the multipliers are calculated as follows:
Duration = 60s * (1 + command/100) * (1 + ship/100) * (1 + mindlink/100) * (1 + core/100)[1] |
Here's a bonus-scale for the 60 second duration of command bursts:
Ship bonus | Base | Command skill | Ship skill | |||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rorqual[1] (+5% per level) | 60s | Req. Mining Foreman V | 94.5s | 99.0s | 103.5s | 108.0s | 112.5s | 140.6s | 176.0s | 183.0s | ||||

Battlecruisers / Titans (no bonus) | 60s | 66s | 72s | 78s | 84s | 90s | - | - | - | - | - | 112.5s | - | - |
- ^ a b The Rorqual gets a +5% bonus to mining bursts and +3% bonus to shield bursts.
- ^ a b The Orca gets a +3% bonus to mining bursts and +1% bonus to shield bursts. For mining bursts, Mining Foreman V is required to sit in the ship, so values prior to Command Skill V are are unobtainable alongside the 3% bonus.
Formula for area of effect range
The area of effect range is calculated like this:
Range = 15km * (1 + (leadership/100)) * (1 + (wing command/100)) * (1 + (fleet command/100)) * (1 + (ship/100)) * (1 + (core/100))[1] |
Here's a bonus-scale for the 15km area of effect range of command bursts:
Ship bonus | Base | Leadership skill | Wing Command skill | Fleet Command skill | ||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rorqual (+50% range) + Industrial Core II (+200% range) | 15km | 72.3km | 77.1km | 81.6km | 84.6km | 91.2km | 96.6km | 102.0km | 107.4km | 113.1km | 117.0km | 124.5km | 129.0km | 136.2km | 141.1km | 148.2km |

Attack Command Ships / Command Destroyers / Porpoise (no bonus) [r 1] | 15km | 16.1km | 17.1km | 18.1km | 19.2km | 20.3km | 21.5km | 22.7km | 23.9km | 25.1km | 26.0km | 27.6km | 29.0km | 30.3km | 32.0km | 32.9km |
- ^ Command Destroyers require Leadership V, and Attack Command Ships further require Wing Command IV.
Formula for reload speed
Since reload speed is affected by fewer things, the calculation is simple:
Reload speed = 60s * (1 - command specialist/10) |
As such, the reload speed ranges from 60, 54, 48, 42, 36 and 30 seconds based on your Command Burst Specialist skill.
