If you ~~chose~~ to run without boosts, you'll need to keep in mind and compensate for not having the boosts listed above. Practically this means that you need to adjust your approach to site running.

If you choose to run [[Incursion sites#Vanguard sites|vanguard sites]] without boosts, you'll need to keep in mind and compensate for not having the boosts listed above. Practically this means that you need to adjust your approach to site running.

* Use ~~at least~~ three logistics pilots and remember that they will be much slower to shift their reps over due to much longer cycles.

* Use three logistics pilots and remember that they will be much slower to shift their reps over due to much longer cycles.

* Tell people to refit appropriately, keep their resists up as there's no room to drop tank in favour of gank when you run without boosts.

* Revise the number of webs and target painters in the fleet. You can't drop webs in favour of tracking computers to the same extent when you run without boosts, as where you land around the beacon will have a huge effect on whether you'll be within web range or not without boosts. You might even need more painters for things that consistently stay out of web range.

* The long web range of the [[Loki]] is very useful for a fleet without boosts.

While it's doable to run vanguards without boosts, there's no point entertaining the thought of doing the same with any of the larger sites. Given the higher alpha in those sites it would be a fool's errand to try those without the extra buffer a booster provides.
