Each booster type has a different "slot" that it uses, viewable in the character sheet. Pilots cannot use another booster if it occupies the same slot as a currently active booster. These slots are distinct from those used for neural [[implants]]. Booster slots represent your character's capacity to absorb particular types of drug, rather than the spaces in your character's brain represented by implant slots. | Each booster type has a different "slot" that it uses, viewable in the character sheet.

It is not possible to override an booster once it has been consumed. Pilots must wait out the drug for its duration. Combat boosters last 30 minutes, increased by 20% (6 minutes) for each level of {{sk|Biology|icon=yes}} the user has trained. | It is not possible to override an booster once it has been consumed by taking another booster for the same slot, ''except'' by jumping out of the clone and back into it.

Each type of booster has four potential side effects associated with it. When the booster is used, each of these effects has a chance of occurring. A pilot might have no penalties for using a booster, or could experience all four at once. The chance of getting a side effect is 20% for Standard, 30% for Improved, and 40% for Strong. The penalties are -20% for Standard, -25% for Improved, and -30% for Strong. | Each type of booster has four potential side effects associated with it.
