| '''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 {{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]].

== Warfare Links: Introduction  ==

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.

Warfare Links are ship modules that provide specific bonuses to a fleet or wing that add to the combat or mining effectiveness of all fleet / wing members.  The item description for all Warfare Links states, ''"Warfare links are dedicated fleet command systems designed for use on battlecruisers and advanced command class ships. While only one of these units can normally be operated at any given time, certain advanced units allow the use of multiple systems."'' As noted, Warfare Links can be fit only on certain ships, and operating a warfare link requires training of advanced leadership skills. Please refer to the [[Skills:Leadership]] and [[Fleet Leadership]] guides for more detailed information about those related topics.<br>
+
All Command Burst modules require the [[Omega clone]] state to be used. However, any character can benefit from bursts fired by fleet members.

== 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.

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."

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.

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.<br><br>
+
=== 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.
  
−
=== Armored Warfare Links  ===
+
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.

Provide bonuses to support armor-based defense of the fleet, including remote armor repair.<br>For Armored Warfare Links, the command bonuses show as negative because they improve resists, increase repair speed, or lower capacitor need.<br><br>The item descriptions for these modules state:
+
=== Industrial core ===
 +
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 ==
 +
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:
  
−
=== Information Warfare Links  ===
+
: <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 {{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_-_Electronic_Superiority Electronic Superiority]: Boosts the strength of the fleet's electronic warfare modules.

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).

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.

Any of these ships may fit a [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Command_Processor_I 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 [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/CO-processor_II co-processor] modules will be required to fit multiple Command Processors on a ship.  Using a Command Processor also requires the skill [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Skills:Leadership#Warfare_Link_Specialist Warfare Link Specialist V].

== 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.<br><br>
 
−
 
 
−
=== The Math of Warfare Link Bonuses  ===
 
−
 
 
−
Four different bonuses are incorporated into the total bonus provided by a Warfare Link (or group of Warfare Links).<br><br>  These are the:
 
−
*Specialist skill bonus
 
−
*Warfare Link Specialist skill bonus
 
−
*Ship bonus for certain ships
 
−
*Mindlink implant bonus.<br><br>
 
−
 
 
−
These bonuses are multiplicative, not additive, so the formula for the total fleet boost is:<br>
 
−
 
 
−
Bonus = Specialist Skill bonus * Warfare Link Specialist bonus * Ship bonus * Mindlink bonus<br>
 
−
 
 
−
An example of the bonus calculation is woven into the bonus descriptions below.<br><br>
 
−
 
 
−
==== 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 [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Skills:Leadership#Warfare_Link_Specialist 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.<br><br>
 
−
 
 
−
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 Tech 1 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, resulting in a -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.<br><br>
 
−
 
 
−
==== 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.<br><br>
 
−
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%<br><br>
 
−
 
 
−
==== Special Ship Bonuses ====
 
−
 
 
−
Field Command Ships give a 3% bonus per level of Command Ship to increase gang modules appropriate to its race.<br>The Rorqual gives a 5% bonus per level of Capital Industrial Ships to increase Mining Foreman Links.<br>Strategic Cruisers give a 5% bonus per level of Defensive Subsystem skill to increase gang modules appropriate to its 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.<br><br>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%<br><br>
 
−
 
 
−
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 of the expected battle and on fleet composition.<br><br>
 
−
 
 
−
==== 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%.  In other words, a [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Siege_Warfare_Mindlink Siege Warfare 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)<br><br>
 
−
 
 
−
=== 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 Tech 2 [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Siege_Warfare_Link_-_Shield_Harmonizing Shield Harmonizing] module, for example, the benefit is greater than adding an extra [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Invulnerability_Field_II 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.

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.

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 Icon timer weapons.png 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.

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.

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.

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 armor 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 (+22.5% 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, Orca, and Porpoise can fit that gives additional bonuses to the strength of Icon mining command burst.png 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.

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:

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:

Battlecruisers / Titans (no bonus) 60s 66s 72s 78s 84s 90s - - - - - 112.5s
  1. ^ a b The Rorqual gets a +5% bonus to mining bursts and +3% bonus to shield bursts.
  2. ^ a b The Orca gets a +3% bonus to mining bursts and +1% bonus to shield bursts. For mining bursts, Icon skillbook2.png 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.

  1. ^ 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.
  2. ^ Attack Command Ships require Icon skillbook2.png Wing Command IV.
  3. ^ Command Destroyers require Icon skillbook2.png Leadership V.

The Orca and Rorqual additionally get a 5% per ship skill level range bonus to their Icon mining command burst.png 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.

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, Certificate-level1.png 54, Certificate-level2.png 48, Certificate-level3.png 42, Certificate-level4.png 36 and Certificate-level5.png 30 seconds based on your Command Burst Specialist skill.
