Command Bursts and utility modules offer tremendous effects for a fleet, easily capable of increasing efficiency for individual pilots or the entire fleet. Be that by pushing range of certain modules past a critical threshold to fleet-wide increases that allow you to operate effectively with fewer people, or simply be that much stronger with the people you already have. | |||

[[Command Bursts|Command bursts]] are immensely powerful modules that improves the efficiency of ever single ship that receives their boosts. The bursts themselves boost anything from armour and shield defenses, efficiency of remote repairs, electronic warfare, propulsion modules, locking ranges to reducing the signature radius of ships and making them harder to jam. | |||
The combination of several | The combination of several bursts can create very powerful effects, like making logistics capable of operating with twice the efficiency thanks to the boosts. The combination of increased resists, reduced signature, faster cycle times etc all adds up. | ||
Even single | Even single burst can be tremendously useful, like the skirmish burst boosting web range making it possible to use webs efficiently, or information bursts increasing locking range thus giving most snipers enough locking range without fitting a single sensor booster. | ||

If you're only going to use one implant, it's enough to train just two of the specialization skills. The '''Fleet Command''' skills aren't strictly needed for Vanguard fleets as the ships are always in a tight clump, but are useful for Headquarters fleets where ships will spread out a lot more. | ||
If you want to go for a truly perfect booster you'll need to train all four specialization skills as well as taking fleet command to V. You'll also need [[Jump Clones|jump clones]] so you can setup the appropriate mindlink implant clones. | If you want to go for a truly perfect booster you'll need to train all four specialization skills as well as taking fleet command to V.

Below is a breakdown on the differences between running in Command Ships and Strategic Cruisers. Keep in mind that the Command Ships are slightly better than Strategic Cruisers and have a much easier time fitting 6-7 links while fielding a decent tank (to ward off suicide gankers). | Below is a breakdown on the differences between running in Command Ships and Strategic Cruisers.
