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 are 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%
	Armor Reinforcement Charge	Armor HP Bonus	+8%	+22.50%

	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 Fleet Assistance Modules, whereas the charges are under the Ammunition & Charges and 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 (+10% duration of information 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)

Command Mindlink implants

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	+4% to two racial types +3% to two racial types +1% to two racial types +2% to two racial types +1% to two racial types +2% to one racial type	+50% bonus +100% range +200% range +200% range +200% range No bonus	Can fit two command burst modules
Command Destroyers Combat Battlecruisers Strategic Cruisers ^[1]	+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 armor 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, Orca, and Porpoise can fit that gives additional bonuses to the strength of Mining Foreman Burst modules and to the range of all 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). The industrial core come in three flavors, Medium Industrial Core, Large Industrial Core, and Capital Industrial Core, and are fit on different ships. The Porpoise can fit the Medium Industrial Core, the Orca can fit the Large Industrial Core, and the Rorqual can fit the Capital Industrial Core.

Type of core		Effect (by size)
Type of core		Medium (Porpoise)	Large (Orca)	Capital (Rorqual)
<size> Industrial Core I	Mining Foreman Burst strength bonus	5%	10%	30%
<size> Industrial Core I	Command Burst range bonus	45%	75%	200%
<size> Industrial Core II	Mining Foreman Burst strength bonus	7.5%	15%	40%
<size> Industrial Core II	Command Burst range bonus	60%	100%	250%

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.

For strength

The various multipliers for strength are calculated as follows:

[math] \displaystyle \text{strength} = \text{base charge bonus} \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{specialization} } {100} \right) \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{module} } {100}\right) \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{ship} } {100} \right) \times \left(1 + \frac {\text{mindlink} } {100} \right) \color{teal} \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{Industrial Core} } {100} \right) [/math]

The Industrial Core bonus only applies to the Mining Foreman Bursts from a Porpoise, Orca, or Rorqual.

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
Ship bonus	Base
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
Ship bonus	Base
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%	-61.52%
Orca (+3% per level)	-15%	-20.63%	-22.50%	-24.38%	-26.25%	-28.13%	-28.97%	-29.81%	-30.66%	-31.50%	-32.34%	-40.43%	-44.50%	-46.50%
Porpoise (+2% per level)	-15%	-20.63%	-22.50%	-24.38%	-26.25%	-28.13%	-28.69%	-29.25%	-29.81%	-30.38%	-30.94%	-38.67%	-40.60%	-41.60%
Non-mining ships (no bonus)	-15%	-20.63%	-22.50%	-24.38%	-26.25%	-28.13%	-	-	-	-	-	-35.16%	-	-

For duration

For duration the multipliers are calculated as follows:

[math] \displaystyle \text{duration} = 60\text{s} \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{command} } {100} \right) \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{ship} } {100} \right) \times \left(1 + \frac {\text{mindlink} } {100} \right)[/math]

Here's a bonus-scale for the 60 second duration of command bursts:

Ship bonus	Base	Command skill					Ship skill
Ship bonus	Base
Rorqual^[1] (+5% per level)	60s	Req. Mining Foreman V					94.5s	99.0s	103.5s	108.0s	112.5s	140.6s
Attack Command Ships (+4% per level)	60s	66s	72s	78s	84s	90s	93.6s	97.2s	100.8s	104.4s	108.0s	135.0s
Rorqual^[1] / Orca^[2] / Fleet Command Ships (+3% per level)	60s	66s	72s	78s	84s	90s	92.7s	95.4s	98.1s	100.8s	103.5s	129.4s
Supercarriers / Strategic Cruiser / Command Destroyers / Porpoise (+2% per level)	60s	66s	72s	78s	84s	90s	91.8s	93.6s	95.4s	97.2s	99.0s	123.8s
Orca^[2] / Carriers / Force Auxiliaries (+1% per level)	60s	66s	72s	78s	84s	90s	90.9s	91.8s	92.7s	93.6s	94.5s	118.1s
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 unobtainable alongside the 3% bonus.

For area of effect range

The area of effect range is calculated like this:

[math] \displaystyle \text{Range} = 15\text{km} \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{leadership} } {100} \right) \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{wing command} } {100}\right) \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{fleet command} } {100} \right) \times \left(1 + \frac {\text{ship} } {100} \right) \color{teal} \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{Industrial Core} } {100} \right) [/math]

The Industrial Core bonus only applies to the Porpoise, Orca, and Rorqual.

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
Ship bonus	Base
Capital Ships (+200% range)	15km	48.2km	51.3km	54.5km	57.6km	60.8km	64.4km	68.0km	71.7km	75.3km	79.0km	82.9km	97.0km	90.8km	95.0km	98.7km
Fleet Command Ships (+100% range)	15km	Ship requires Wing Command IV								50.2km	53.0km	55.3km	58.0km	60.6km	63.0km	65.8km
Porpoise (no bonus) + Medium Industrial Core II (+60% range)	15km	25.7km	27.4km	29.0km	30.7km	32.4km	34.3km	36.3km	38.2km	40.2km	42.1km	44.2km	46.3km	48.4km	50.5km	52.7km
Orca^[1] / Rorqual^[1] / Battlecruisers / Attack Command Ships^[2] / Strategic Cruisers (+50% range)	15km	24.1km	25.7km	27.2km	28.8km	30.4km	32.2km	34.0km	35.8km	37.7km	39.0km	41.5km	43.0km	45.4km	47.0km	49.4km
Porpoise (no bonus) + Medium Industrial Core I (+45% range)	15km	23.3km	24.8km	26.3km	27.8km	29.4km	31.1km	32.9km	34.6km	36.4km	38.2km	40.1km	42.0km	43.9km	45.8km	47.7km
Command Destroyers / Porpoise (no bonus) ^[3]	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

^ ^a ^b For non-Mining Foreman bursts. The Orca and Rorqual gain an additional 5% per level bonus to Mining Foreman Burst range, which is accounted for in the table below.
^ Attack Command Ships require Wing Command IV.
^ Command Destroyers require Leadership V.

The Orca and Rorqual additionally get a 5% per ship skill level range bonus to their Mining Foreman Bursts, in addition to a 50% range bonus to all command bursts. As with most ships with multiple role bonuses affecting the same stat, these bonuses are multiplicative with one another. Ranges with their double ship bonuses, alongside industrial core configurations, are listed below. To keep the table compact, only stats at skill levels I and V are shown.

Ship bonus	Base	Leadership skill		Ship skill		Wing Command skill		Fleet Command skill
Ship bonus	Base
Rorqual (+50% range & +5% per level range) + Capital Industrial Core II (+250% range)	15km	84.3km	106.3km	111.7km	132.9km	140.9km	172.8km	181.4km	215.9km
Rorqual (+50% range & +5% per level range) + Capital Industrial Core I (+200% range)	15km	72.2km	91.1km	95.7km	113.9km	120.7km	148.1km	155.5km	185.1km
Orca (+50% range & +5% per level range) + Large Industrial Core II (+100% range)	15km	48.1km	60.7km	63.8km	75.9km	80.5km	98.7km	103.7km	123.4km
Orca (+50% range & +5% per level range) + Large Industrial Core I (+75% range)	15km	42.1km	53.2km	55.8km	66.4km	70.4km	86.4km	90.7km	108.0km
Orca / Rorqual (+50% range & +5% per level range)	15km	24.1km	30.4km	31.9km	38.0km	40.2km	49.3km	51.8km	61.7km

For reload speed

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

[math] \displaystyle \text{Reload speed} = 60\text{s} \times \left( 1 - \frac {\text{command specialist} } {10} \right) [/math]

As such, the reload speed ranges from 60, 54, 48, 42, 36 and 30 seconds based on your Command Burst Specialist skill.

-In the Eve markets, Warfare Links are found under the name "Gang Assist Modules" in the Ship Equipment category. The individual modules are known as "Warfare Links."
+== 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.
-Gang assist modules are high slot, active modules that emit a fleet-wide bonus to one or more attributes for as long as they are active. The pilot operating the warfare link(s) only provide Warfare Link bonuses to other fleet members when:

-Warfare Links are classified by the five leadership skill categories required to operate them. The actual Warfare Link module names all begin with "X Warfare Link," as shown below. A module's base bonus level is referred to as its Command Bonus. While the Command Bonus of any warfare link appears to be rather small, these are significantly multiplied by skills, select ships, and Slot 10 implants known as "Mindlinks.". See [[Warfare links#Command Bonus Multipliers]] for additional information on how Command Bonuses work in practice.
+== 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'''.

-As of January 2012, Warfare Links became available in both Tech 1 and Tech 2 versions.  The key skill prerequisite for the Tech 2 links is {Type of Link} Warfare Specialist V (e.g., Armored Warfare Specialist V) as opposed to lower levels of training for that skill. Tech 2 Warfare Links provide greater Command Bonuses but require additional power grid and CPU for fitting purposes.

-=== Armored Warfare Links  ===
+=== Command Processor rigs ===
+There's a rig called {{co|coral|Command Processor I}} that will allow your ship to fit an additional command burst module. The rig uses [[File:icon calibration.png|16px|link=]] '''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.
-Provide bonuses to support armor-based defense of the fleet, including remote armor repair. The base Command Bonuses for the T1 and T2 modules are -2% / -2.5%, respectively. For Armored Warfare Links, the command bonuses show as negative because they improve resists,  increase repair speed, or lower capacitor need. The item descriptions for these modules state:
+For the armor and shield command burst using the [[File:Icon armor reinforcement.png|16px|link=]] {{co|coral|Armor Reinforcement Charge}} or the [[File:Icon shield extension.png|16px|link=]] {{co|coral|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 [[File:Module icon armor rig tech2.png|16px|link=]] {{co|coral|Trimark Armor Pump II}} or [[File:Module icon shield rig tech2.png|16px|link=]] {{co|coral|Core Defense Field Extender II}} rig (+20% hit points), not to mention the fact it gives this bonus to anyone within range.

+=== Industrial core ===
-* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Armored_Warfare_Link_-_Passive_Defense Passive Defense] -- Grants a bonus to the fleet's armor resistances.
+The industrial core is a module that the [[Rorqual]], [[Orca]], and [[Porpoise]] can fit that gives additional bonuses to the strength of [[File:icon mining command burst.png|24px|link=]] {{co|coral|Mining Foreman Burst}} modules and to the range of all 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). The industrial core come in three flavors, {{co|coral|Medium Industrial Core}}, {{co|coral|Large Industrial Core}}, and {{co|coral|Capital Industrial Core}}, and are fit on different ships. The Porpoise can fit the {{co|coral|Medium Industrial Core}}, the Orca can fit the {{co|coral|Large Industrial Core}}, and the Rorqual can fit the {{co|coral|Capital Industrial Core}}.

-Provide bonuses to improve the effectiveness of e-war and sensor strength of the fleet.  The item descriptions for the Information Warfare Link modules state:
+== 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.
+=== For strength ===
+The various multipliers for '''strength''' are calculated as follows:
-* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Information_Warfare_Link_-_Electronic_Superiority Electronic Superiority]: Boosts the strength of the fleet's electronic warfare modules.
+: <math> \displaystyle \text{strength} = \text{base charge bonus} \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{specialization} } {100} \right) \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{module} } {100}\right) \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{ship} } {100} \right) \times \left(1 + \frac {\text{mindlink} } {100} \right) \color{teal} \times \left( 1 + \frac {\text{Industrial Core} } {100} \right) </math>
-* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Information_Warfare_Link_-_Recon_Operation Recon Operation]: Boosts the range of the fleet's electronic warfare modules.
+: The {{Co|teal|Industrial Core}} bonus only applies to the Mining Foreman Bursts from a [[Porpoise]], [[Orca]], or [[Rorqual]].
-* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Information_Warfare_Link_-_Sensor_Integrity Sensor Integrity]: Boosts sensor strengths for all of the fleet's ships.
-The base Command Bonuses for the Tech 1 and Tech 2 version of each module type are:
-A. Electronic Superiority (to module strength):<br>
+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).
-* Target Painting 2% / 2.5%<br>
-* ECM 2% / 2.5%<br>
-* Tracking Disruption 1.2% / 1.5%<br>
-* Remote Sensor Dampening 1.2% / 1.5%<br>

-Warfare Link modules can only be fit on Battlecruisers (Tiers 1 and 2 only), Command Ships, Industrial Command Ships, Capital Industrial Ships, Carriers, Motherships, and Titans. This is enforced by all gang modules requiring 5000 CPU to fit; however, those ships listed previously have the role bonus "99% reduction in Warfare Link module CPU need." Therefore, a Warfare Link only requires 50 CPU (55 CPU for T2 mods) on one of these ships. Any of these ships can fit as many as they are able, but there are restrictions on how many a pilot can activate at once.

-''Note: Strategic Cruisers can only operate a Warfare Link when configured with the Defensive Subsystem - Warfare Processor subsystem.''
-Any of these ships may fit a Command Processor I (mid slot module) which, when fit, allows the ship to activate one additional Warfare Link. In fact, as long as the ship has sufficient CPU, a pilot can fit as many Command Processors as he wishes and activate that many additional gang modules at once. Typically, one or more co-processor modules will be required to fit multiple Command Processors on a ship.  Using a Command Processor also requires the skill Warfare Link Specialist V.
-Select ships among this eligible ship group provide additional bonuses to Warfare Links.  These are discussed in the next section.
-== Command Bonus Multipliers  ==
-As noted previously, the base Command Bonus of any Warfare Link appears to be insignificant. By itself, it is. Typically, Command Bonuses are multipled by the boosting pilot's skills, his ship bonuses, and one of his implants.  This section demonstrates the potentially powerful effects of Warfare Links when bonuses are compounded in this manner.
-=== The Math of Warfare Link Bonuses  ===
-==== Specialist Skill Bonus ====
-Two advanced leadership skills (known as "specialist" skills) significantly impact the bonuses provided by any Warfare Link.  The first is the level of training for the related link itself (e.g., Siege Warfare Specialist). The other related skill is Warfare Link Specialist.  Throughout this section, the Siege (shield) bonuses using a T2 Warfare Link and all Level V skills are calculated for illustrative purposes.  To determine the actual bonuses of any one pilot, substitute the appropriate bonuses for themodule used and his skills into the formulas provided here.
-The Siege Warfare Specialist states that it gives a "100% bonus to effectiveness of siege warfare link modules per level". The module requires level 1 of this specialist skill to fit it at all, and with that level 1 the module only provides the -2.0% Command Bonus (T2 module not available to this pilot). At level 2 the skill would give 200% of that base 2% effect, making for and actual -4% Command Bonus. The actual formula becomes obvious:
-Actual Command Bonus = Base Command Bonus * Level of Specialist skill.
-A pilot with Siege Warfare Specialist V using a Tech 2 Siege Warfare Link would therefore provide an actual Command Bonus of:
-Bonus = -2.5% * 5 = -12.5%
-Remember that siege bonuses are negative. Other specialist skill bonuses will be positive.
-==== Warfare Link Specialist Skill Bonus ====
-The Warfare Link Specialist skill "boosts effectiveness of <u>all</u> warfare link and mining foreman modules by 10% per level." This is added as a percentage of the initial Command Bonus, as calculated above. A pilot with Warfare Link Specialist V receives a 50% increase. The updated bonus result is:
-Bonus = Actual Specialist Skill Bonus * (1+Percent of Warfare Link Specialist Bonus), which in this example is:
-Bonus = -12.5% * 1.5 or  -18.75%
-==== Special Ship Bonuses ====
-Field Command Ships give a 3% bonus per level of Command Ship to increase gang modules appropriate to its race. The Rorqual gives a 5% bonus per level of Capital Industrial Ships to increase Mining Foreman Links. Strategic Cruisers give a 5% bonus per level of Defensive Subsystem skill to increase gang modules appropriate to it's race, but only when fitting the Warfare Processor Subsystem.

-===== Ship Bonus Example =====
-We can see from the example above that the Actual Command bonus from Siege Warfare Links due to max pilot skills is -18.75%.  Adding the ship bonus, which is multiplicative, is straightforward.  The fleet command ship that provides bonuses to Siege Warfare Links is a Vulture, which boosts by 3% per level.  The updated bonus formula now becomes:
-Actual Bonus = Total Bonus Due to Skills * (1+Ship Bonus), which in this example equals:
-Bonus = -18.75% * 1.15 or -21.5625%
-Please note that this bonus would be higher if a Tech 3 ship, the Tengu, is used instead of a Vulture in the example. The key boosting benefit of a Vulture is it allows for all three Siege Warfare Links to be fit, activated, and bonused without the need for fitting Command Processors. The actual "ideal" ship choice used for fleet boosting therefore depends on the circumstances on the expected battle and fleet composition.
-==== Mindlink Bonus ====
-The last increase that can be applied to this bonus is achieved by the boosting pilot plugging in a Mindlink, a slot 10 implant that requires Cybernetics V to use. There are five possible Mindlinks, one for each category of Gang Modules (Armor, Information, Siege, Skirmish, and Mining).  Only one Mindlink can be applied per clone, as they all use the same slot.
-A Mindlink provides two significant bonuses. The first is unrelated to calculating the Warfare Link bonus formula, but it is still extremely powerful.  The first Mndlink bonus increases the effect of the related tier 1 skill by 50%.  IOn other words, a Siege Mindlink replaces the 10% bonus to the fleet's shield capacity normally provided by the booster having Siege Warfare V and increases this bonus to 15%.
-Mindlinks also increase their related gang modules Command Bonuses by 50%. In the example used throughout this section, the Total Siege Warfare Bonus to all modules becomes:
-Total Siege Bonus = (Bonus from Skills and Ships) * (1 + Mindlink Bonus), which is<br>
-'''Total Siege Bonus = -21.5625% * 1.5 or  -32.34%''' (rounded)
-=== Total Command Bonus ===
-Note that this Total Command Bonus from the Siege Warfare Links bonus is very significant. When applying the -32.34% bonus from the [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Siege_Warfare_Link_-_Shield_Harmonizing Shield Harmonizing] module, for example, the benefit is greater than adding an extra Invulnerability Field II to every member of the fleet!  Since this resistance bonus is applied as if it were another module fit on each ship, normal stacking penalties apply -- so a savvy fleet commander may choose to ask his fleet to each eliminate one Invulnerability Field II and fit another module in its place.
-== Section to Delete (Covered in another Guide) Options for Using Warfare Links within the Fleet Structure  ==
-The Booster role provides gang bonuses to the fleet. People with the Booster role are usually encouraged to bring gang modules suited to benefit certain types of ships, and are then made Booster for a Squad or Wing made up of those ship types.
-The Boss role is exactly what it sounds like, the Boss. Even if the person with the Boss role is not the Fleet Commander, they still have all of the powers needed to manage the fleet, from inviting people into any Squad or Wing, moving people to and from Squads, promoting and demoting Commanders of any rank, The Boss.
-I feel it's best if the actual op FC retains the Boss title, as they need that absolute control, but they do NOT have to be the Fleet Commander in game as well. If possible the Fleet Commander position should be given to someone with the Fleet Command skill and who is capable enough to manage invites, Commanders, and members and organize the fleet structure to make best use of the available bonuses. If this is simply not possible, then actual op leaders should only do this organization when well out of danger. It is simply not a priority if they are trying to plan the actions and movements of the fleet to also be answering every cry to be moved by Squad Members.
-There are 3 types of Booster: Squad Booster, Wing Booster, and Fleet Booster, this is shown as a letter in brackets after the players name (S), (W), or (F). A Squad Booster can only give gang bonuses to other members of their own Squad. A Wing Booster can give bonuses to other pilots in their entire Wing. Of course the Fleet Booster provides gang bonuses across the entire fleet. Whether these bonuses are received by anyone depends on the fleet's chain of command being complete. What this refers to is that the people in the Squad, Wing, and Fleet Commander positions have the necessary skills for the fleet they are leading. Anyone can occupy any of these positions, but without the proper skills, no bonuses can be passed down through the fleet. The Boosters can have any place in the fleet structure; being a Booster simply means they are the source of the gang bonuses for part of the fleet, nothing more. Boosters do not even need to have Wing Command or Fleet Command skills -- even as a Squad Member they can be set as a Fleet Booster and provide the bonuses fleet wide.

-Having an FC with the Fleet Command skill means that some people can benefit from the bonuses of the Fleet Booster, as long as the other Commanders are also skilled. Wing 1 has a skilled Commander, so Squads below him may receive bonuses of both the Fleet Booster and Wing Booster (yes AND -- I'll get to that). Squad 1, having a skilled SC, can get bonuses from the Fleet, Wing, and Squad Boosters -- awesome. Squad 2, having an unskilled SC (or no SC at all, same effect) gets no bonuses from any Boosters. Due to Wing 2 having an unskilled WC, squads in this Wing cannot get either Fleet or Wing Booster bonuses -- they are cut off by the lack of command skills. Squad 3 is fortunate to have a skilled SC since they can at least get the Squad Booster's bonuses. Squad 4 is screwed.
-Boosters can be anywhere in the fleet structure -- they do not have to occupy the Commander positions. In order for a Squad to get any bonuses, the '''SC''' of that squad must have Leadership at a high enough level to support the numbers in the Squad (10 members at level 5). To get Wing bonuses, the WC must have the Wing Command skill level high enough to support the number of Squads they have (5 Squads in a Wing at level 5). For Fleet bonuses to work, the FC must have Fleet Command trained to support the number of Wings they command (5 Wings in a fleet at level 5). The Commanders '''DO NOT''' have to have the skills or modules that provide the bonuses. Rather, they only need to have Leadership, Wing Command, or Fleet Command to ensure the bonuses of the Boosters are passed along. Likewise the Boosters DO NOT need to have Wing Command or Fleet Command to be a Booster for those ranks (they just cannot hold the Commander position). Of course, it is very convenient if you are 'the whole package'.
-Now the best part: EVE will blend the best bonuses of all of the Boosters and give them ALL to the Squads. Assuming you have a completely skilled set of commanders, the members of a Squad will get the bonuses of the Fleet, Wing AND Squad Boosters. Note that if two Boosters are running the same module, only the best effect is given to the fleet, and the other is ignored.
-What this means is while most fleets divvy up into Shield, Armour, and Speed Wings, you can still pump more bonuses into them at the Fleet and Squad levels.<br>
