While not strictly required in order to form a fleet leadership skills are highly desirable for improving the capabilities of the fleet. Appropriate skills are required to enable the passing down of boosts (whether passive or active) to fleet members lower down in the hierarchy. While pilots without the appropriate skills can still sit in leadership positions their lack of skills will block the passing down of any available boosts. | |||

Note that | Note that the squad commander counts for the membership of his squad, but the wing commander and fleet commander do not count toward any squad. This means that the maximum fleet size is 256 pilots.<br> | ||
There is one important position that does not appear in the leadership hierarchy, that of fleet 'boss'. While the name may imply some form of leadership position, the role is purely administrative. It is entirely possible for the FC and fleet boss to be the same person, with the default fleet boss being the person who originally created the fleet. The fleet boss is the only person who can promote people to Wing Commander and Fleet Commander positions (people cannot self-promote like for Squad Commander), edit the fleet's message of the day (MOTD), or post an advert for the fleet in the fleet finder. | |||

There are 3 leadership skills that enable one to pass on bonuses to other members of a fleet. It is worth noting once more that you do '''not''' need these skills to hold these positions. However, if you intend to fly a fleet, and command fleets, it is worth training these skills. Leadership is only a basic skill and does not take very long. | There are 3 leadership skills that enable one to pass on bonuses to other members of a fleet.

There is no distance limitation of the bonuses, so long as you are in the same system.<br> | ||

All | All types of boosts can be provided by any member of the fleet, not just by the people holding the leadership positions. Command bursts are effective on all ships within their area of effect, regardless of the fleet position of the source ship's pilot. | ||
Separating the boosting roles from leadership positions can be especially useful when warfare link boosts are being provided by off-grid boosters, as warfare links are deactivated whenever the ship using them enters warp. Separate boosting and leadership positions can enable the safe use of fleet/wing/squad warps without accidentally taking the booster along and thus deactivating the links. | Separating the boosting roles from leadership positions can be especially useful when warfare link boosts are being provided by off-grid boosters, as warfare links are deactivated whenever the ship using them enters warp.

This is the other type of fleet booster. All these modules will only provide a benefit if you are a booster in a fleet, and they act in the same way as the booster skills (e.g. they don't stack, they require proper skilled fleet structure, etc). If you are not in a fleet, or are not a booster, then they are useless. <br> | This is the other type of fleet booster.

Note that it does affect the mining modules as well, despite its name. This skill is also a prerequisite for flying [[Command Ships]]. As an example, assume you have trained the Skirmish Warfare Specialist skill to IV, the Warfare Link Specialist skill to III, and are flying a ship equipped with the Rapid Deployment module. You'll therefore get a speed boost to afterburners and microwarpdrives of ((1+0.2*4)*5.6%)*(1+3*0.1) = 13.1%.
