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~~:

Below are some practical effects of having a maxed booster with the appropriate mindlink:

These bonuses might not seem that impressive, looking at them ~~individually~~, but they are very powerful when combined in a practical scenario. The 26% cycle time of remote shield boosters translates into +35% higher repairs. Combined with the increased resists 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.

These bonuses might not seem that impressive if you're looking at them one by one, but they are very powerful when combined.

On top of that you'll also take less damage due to a smaller signature and any ship with a propulsion module will reduce it even more from the increased speed. The boosted web range will ~~also~~ allow you to web the majority of the Sansha that would otherwise sit just outside your normal web range.

The 26% cycle time of remote shield boosters translates into +35% higher repairs. Combined with the increased resists 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. On top of that you'll also take less damage due to a smaller signature and any ship with a propulsion module will reduce it even more from the increased speed.

Apart from the very tangible increase of repping powers, the other bonuses all help to improve your ''"quality of life"'' running incursions. The boosted web range will allow you to web the majority of the Sansha that would otherwise sit just outside your normal web range. This will not only make your fleet safer, but it'll have the added bonus of speed up your completion times as well. The increased lock range, higher scan resolution and faster align time are just more icing on the cake.

You can read more about setting up fleets with boosts and the expected results of warfare links, stacking webs and remote assistance modules on the [[Fleet setup in Incursions|fleet setup in incursions]] page.
