'''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.
| valign="middle" | '''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.

== Warfare Link Modules  ==
= 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. The only notable difference between the {{co|coral|Command Burst I}} and {{co|coral|Command Burst II}} module is that the tech two module is '''+25% stronger''' and the tech two variant requiring the specialization skill.


In the Eve markets, Warfare Links are found under the name "Fleet Assistance Modules" in the Ship Equipment category. Other fleet assistance modules include items such as a Cynosural Field Generator and a Clone Vat Bay.
Upon activation of a {{co|coral|Command Burst}} module you will get a {{icon|timer weapons|16}} [[Timers#Weapon Timer|Weapon Timer]] for 60 seconds 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 is 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 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.
== Command Mindlink implants ==
Various command mindlink implants boost the '''strength''' and '''duration''' effect of Command Burst modules.

===== 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 [[image: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.


As of January 2012, Warfare Links became available in both [[Techs, Tiers and Meta levels|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.
For the armour and shield command burst using the [[image:Icon armor reinforcement.png|16px|link=]] {{co|coral|Armor Reinforcement Charge}} or the [[image: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 (+21,56% hit points) will give you a higher boost compared to a [[image:Module icon armor rig tech2.png|16px|link=]] {{co|coral|Trimark Armor Pump II}} or [[image: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.


=== Armored Warfare Links  ===
===== Industrial core =====
The industrial core is a module that the [[Rorqual]] can fit that gives additional bonuses to [[image:icon mining command burst.png|24px|link=]] {{co|coral|Mining Foreman}} and [[image:icon shield command burst.png|24px|link=]] {{co|coral|Shield Command Burst}} modules, but only when activated. Activating that core locks the ship down in a similar manner to how siege works.

Provide bonuses to support armor-based defense of the fleet, including remote armor repair. 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:
= 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.
== Formula for strength ==
The various multipliers for '''strength''' are calculated as follows:
{{code|Strength &#61; {{co|teal|Base charge bonus}} * {{co|steelblue|(1 + specialization/100)}} * {{co|slateblue|(1 + module/100)}} * {{co|rebeccapurple|(1 + ship/100)}} * {{co|purple|(1 + mindlink/100)}} {{co|grey|* (1 + core/100)}}<small><ref>This is a unique case for the [[Rorqual]] using the {{co|coral|Industrial Core}} module.</ref></small>}}
<small><references/></small>
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).


* '''Damage Control''' -- Reduces the capacitor need of the fleet's personal and targeted armor repair systems.  
The following is a bonus-scale for the {{co|lightgreen|8% resist}} bonus:
* '''Passive Defense''' -- Grants a bonus to the fleet's armor resistances.  
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;"
* '''Rapid Repair''' -- Increases the speed of the fleet's personal and targeted armor repair systems.

== Ships and Fitting  ==
 
Warfare Link modules can only be fit on [[Battlecruiser]]s (Tiers 1 and 2 only), [[Command Ships]], [[Orca|Industrial Command Ships]], [[Rorqual|Capital Industrial Ships]], [[Strategic Cruiser]]s, [[Carrier]]s, [[Supercarrier]]s, [[Titan]]s, and [[Destroyer#Command_Destroyers | Command Destroyers]]. This is enforced by all the listed ships having a role bonus of 'Can fit warfare link modules' or 'Can use 3 Warfare Link modules simultaneously' and all warfare link modules having a 'Can be fitted to' attribute.
 
*Strategic Cruisers - 1 active Warfare Link
*Battlecruisers - 1 active Warfare Link
*Command Ships - 3 active Warfare Links
*Command Destroyers - 1 active Warfare Link
*Industrial Command Ship - 3 active Warfare Links
*Capital Industrial - 3 active Warfare Links
*Carriers - 1 active Warfare Link
*Supercarriers - 1 active Warfare Link plus 1 per level of the Carrier skill.
*Titans - 1 active Warfare Link plus 1 per level of the Titan skill.
 
''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''' (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 {{sk|Command Burst 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  ===
 
Four different bonuses are incorporated into the total bonus provided by a Warfare Link (or group of Warfare Links). These are the:
*Specialist skill bonus
*Warfare Link Specialist skill bonus
*Ship bonus for certain ships
*Mindlink implant bonus.
 
These bonuses are multiplicative, not additive, so the formula for the total fleet boost is:
 
:Bonus = Specialist Skill bonus * Warfare Link Specialist bonus * Ship bonus * Mindlink bonus
 
An example of the bonus calculation is woven into the bonus descriptions below.
 
==== 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 the module used and his skills into the formulas provided here.
 
The Siege Warfare Specialist states that it "Boosts the effectiveness of siege warfare link modules by 20% per skill level." The module requires level 1 of this specialist skill to fit it at all, and with that the Tech 1 module only provides a -5.76% (-4.8 * 1.2) Command Bonus (T2 module not available to this pilot). At level 2 the skill would give a 40% bonus to the base 4.8% effect, resulting in a -6.72% Command Bonus. The actual formula becomes obvious:
 
:Actual Command Bonus = Base Command Bonus * (1 + 0.2 * Level of Specialist skill).
 
A pilot with {{sk|Siege Warfare Specialist|V}} using a Tech 2 Siege Warfare Link would therefore provide an actual Command Bonus of:
 
:Bonus = -6% * 2 = -12%
 
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 + 0.1 * Level of Warfare Link Specialist Skill), which in this example is:
 
:Bonus = -12% * 1.5 or  -18%
 
==== Special Ship Bonuses ====
 
Command Ships give a 3% bonus per level of Command Ship to increase gang modules appropriate to its race.<br>The Rorqual gives a 10% bonus per level of Capital Industrial Ships to increase Mining Foreman Links.<br>Strategic Cruisers give a 2% 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%.  Adding the ship bonus, which is multiplicative, is straightforward.  One 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+ 0.03 * Level of Command Ships Skill), which in this example equals:
 
:Bonus = -18% * 1.15 or -20.7%
 
In previous expansions this bonus would have been higher if a Tech 3 ship, the Tengu, was used instead of a Vulture. In Odyssey 1.1 however the level of bonus that all Tech 3 ships provide was reduced to 2% while each race's Tech 3 ship was given the ability to apply the bonus to a third class of warfare link. The key boosting benefit of a Command ship is that it allows for three 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.
 
==== 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 {{sk|Cybernetics|V}} to use. There are nine possible Mindlinks, one for each category of Warfare Links (Armor, Information, Siege, Skirmish, and Mining) and four Navy Mindlinks, each of which provide bonuses to two categories of Warfare Links. 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 Mindlink bonus increases the effect of the related tier 1 skill (or two related skills in the case of navy mindlinks) by 50%.  In other words, a 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 warfare link modules Command Bonuses by 25%. 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:
 
:'''Total Siege Bonus = -20.7% * 1.25 or  -25.9%''' (rounded)
 
=== Total Command Bonus ===
 
Note that this Total Command Bonus from the Siege Warfare Links bonus is very significant. When applying the -25.9% bonus from the Tech 2 Shield Harmonizing module, for example, the benefit is almost as much as adding an extra Adaptive 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 could choose to ask his fleet to each eliminate one Adaptive Invulnerability Field II and fit another module in its place.
