Command Destroyers always fit a Micro Jump Field Generator. Besides that they can be afterburner or ~~microwarp drive~~ fitted, sometimes even both. They often fit a warp ~~srambler. So that they can decide when to drop scram because scram prevents ships from being booshed. All other fleet members should only use~~ warp ~~disruptors on targets~~ in ~~such~~ a ~~context~~. [[ECM#ECM_equipment_and_ships|ECM bursts]] are another common module. ~~It allows~~ to break hostile target locks in case the Command Destroyer or fleet members are ~~scramed~~ which would prevent the fleet from booshing out.

Command Destroyers almost always fit a Micro Jump Field Generator. Besides that, they can be afterburner or microwarpdrive fitted, sometimes even both. They often fit a warp scrambler; a warp-scrambled ship isn't carried along in a boosh, so by scrambling a ship and then booshing, a Command Destroyer can jump everything immediately nearby away and leave the scrammed target isolated. [[ECM#ECM_equipment_and_ships|ECM bursts]] are another common module. These allow the ship to try to break hostile target locks in case the Command Destroyer or fleet members are scrammed, which would prevent the fleet from booshing out.

The slot layout and bonuses usually force an armor tank for the Pontifex and Magus and a shield tank for the Stork and Bifrost. In a fleet context you fit a buffer tank, while solo fits can have an active tank.

If the Command ~~Destroyers~~ primary role is to provide Command Burst, a Command Processor rig is usually fitted to allow two active Command Bursts. Some fits even fit two Command Processors to allow three Command Bursts, although these fits usually sacrifice weapons and tank to do so. There are some pilots who use an alt account on a command destroyer as a "backpack", to provide their main ship with command bursts (Skirmish bursts most commonly) when their main ship is otherwise flying solo.

In a booshing doctrine some destroyers may not even fit a Command Burst at all, either in favor of additional tank or out of non-necessity.

A defender missile launcher is a popular choice to protect the fleet from [[bombs]].
