Using offgrid boosters is pretty much a given in any community that run incursions. The boosts they provide are so strong that even if CCP forced boosters ongrid, you'd sacrifice a slot for the booster ongrid in a heartbeat. A vanguard fleet with 2 logistics and an ongrid booster performs much better than a fleet with 3 logistics and no booster, simply from a defensive standpoint. Add to that the secondary benefits from skirmish and possibly even information links. | |||
Below are some examples (with rounded off values) of how much difference boosts make: | |||

===== Combined results ===== | |||

These bonuses are even more powerful when combined in a practical scenario. The repping power isn't just boosted by +35% from the reduction of the cycle time, combined with the increased resists alone it'll turn into an actual bonus of '''at least +50% stronger reps''' on most ships (with several hardeners and rigs) and '''up to +75% stronger''' on ships that have the least amount of stacking penalties (like scimitars with just one hardener). | |||
On top of that you'll also take less damage due to a smaller signature (and any ship with a propulsion module even more from the increased speed), the increased web range allows you to web the majority of the Sansha that would otherwise sit just outside your normal web range. | |||
