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. | Using offgrid boosters is pretty much a given in any community that run incursions.

In the [[EVE University Incursion Community]] we set the bar fairly high for offgrid boosters, requiring them to have the following links and implant: | |||
