-A ship with fewer modules or rigs stacking will also benefit more from boosts, thus not suffering quite as much as they might initially seem to. This of course means they also have more to lose if boosts go down, which is worth noting.
+A ship with fewer modules or rigs stacking will also benefit more from boosts, thus not suffering quite as much as they might initially seem to. Thus, the way in which a ship obtains the required resist profile to be allowed into a fleet run by the EVE University Incursion Community is important - using a large number of cheap multispectrum energized membranes (see the Praxis fit in ~~link~~) leads to the ongrid boosts being much less effective, causing the incoming damage to be increased as compared to a similarly tanked ship with fewer, but higher quality tank modules.
-Further down this page you'll see examples of this with the [[#Advanced_fits|advanced setups]]. If you pay attention to the normal resist profiles vs the resist profile with command bursts you'll see that the [[#Electromagnetic_rig|electromagnetic rig setup]] for vanguards for example has a deceptively low EM/thermal resist, averaging around 62% instead of the recommended 70%. This would suggest nearly +30% more damage taken from turret damage, as your resists are almost 9% lower (see the graph above). But due to less stacking penalties that setup ends up having roughly ~68% average EM/thermal resists after boosts which is fairly close to the 72% of our recommended fits and will eventually only take +10% more damage from turrets, while taking torpedoes just fine.
+With that said, it is worth noting that the reverse is true - if the ongrid boosts were to no longer be present, a ship with fewer tank modules would be taking relatively more damage as compared to a normal situation. This can sometimes become important to consider in ships fit with an expensive A-Type energized membrane, which would likely be accepted onto a fleet (at the FC's discretion) but which might be under the tank guidelines of the community.
-This is then further compensated by pirate faction hulls (which this expensive setup should be used on) who overall have much lower signatures. The signature difference is at the very least 22% between the highest signature pirate faction hull (Vindicator) and the lowest signature regular battleship (Maelstrom), thus pirate faction hulls take reduced damage from missiles thanks to their much lower signature. The [[Nightmare]] and [[Machariel]] have even smaller signatures, meaning they take even less damage.
