| '''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.

The command burst modules come in six different variants. Each variant comes with at least three different type of charges, each giving different bonuses, as well as a tech one and a tech two version of the command burst modules. Compared to the {{co|coral|Command Burst I}}, the {{co|coral|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 {{co|coral|Command Burst}} module you will get a [[File:icon_timer_weapons.png|16px|link=]] [[Timers#Weapon Timer|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|command mindlink implants]] or [[#Industrial core|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#Command Bursts|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 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'''.

=== Command Processor rigs ===

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.

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}}.

== Calculating Command Burst bonuses ==

The various multipliers for '''strength''' are calculated as follows:

: The {{Co|teal|Industrial Core}} bonus only applies to the Mining Foreman Bursts from a [[Porpoise]], [[Orca]], or [[Rorqual]].

The following is a bonus-scale for the {{co|lightgreen|8% resist}} bonus:

Here's a bonus-scale for the {{co|lightgreen|-15% duration}} bonus:

| -40.60%

| -41.60%

| style="text-align:left;" | '''Non-mining ships''' (no bonus)

| -26.25%

| -28.13%

| -

| -35.16%

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>

|-

| style="text-align:left;" | [[Supercarriers]] / [[Strategic Cruiser]] / [[Command Destroyer]]s / [[Porpoise]] ({{co|lightgreen|+2%}} per level)

| 118.1s

| style="text-align:left;" | [[Battlecruisers]] / [[Titans]] (no bonus)

| -

| 112.5s

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 {{Co|teal|Industrial Core}} bonus only applies to the Porpoise, Orca, and Rorqual.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"

| style="text-align:left;" | [[Orca]]<ref name="IncCmdNote">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.</ref> / [[Rorqual]]<ref name="IncCmdNote" /> / [[Battlecruiser#Combat Battlecruisers|Battlecruisers]] / [[Attack Command Ships]]<ref>Attack Command Ships require {{sk|Wing Command|IV|icon=yes}}.</ref> / [[Strategic Cruisers]] / [[Odysseus]] ({{co|lightgreen|+50%}} range)

| style="text-align:left;" | [[Destroyer#Command Destroyers|Command Destroyers]] / [[Porpoise]] (no bonus) <ref>Command Destroyers require {{sk|Leadership|V|icon=yes}}.</ref>

The Orca and Rorqual additionally get a 5% per ship skill level range bonus to their [[File:icon mining command burst.png|24px|link=]] {{co|coral|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.

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 {{co|lightgreen|60}}, [[File:certificate-level1.png|16px|link=]] {{co|lightgreen|54}}, [[File:certificate-level2.png|16px|link=]] {{co|lightgreen|48}}, [[File:certificate-level3.png|16px|link=]] {{co|lightgreen|42}}, [[File:certificate-level4.png|16px|link=]] {{co|lightgreen|36}} and [[File:certificate-level5.png|16px|link=]] {{co|lightgreen|30 seconds}} based on your {{sk|Command Burst Specialist}} skill.
