Introduced in the Citadel expansion of Apr 2016, <span style="color: yellow">Force Auxiliaries</span> are a new, third class of capital ship dedicated to logistics. CCP created force auxiliaries by dividing the two roles previously fulfilled by Carriers—logistics and fighter support—into two separate capital ship classes. Force auxiliaries are now the only capital ship class to receive bonuses to remote repair. They are also the only capitals able to use triage modules, which enhance the defensive and remote repair capabilities of the ship for five minutes, but also make the ship incapable of receiving remote assistance. Force auxiliaries and triage modules are discussed in more detail in [[Logistics_103:_Carriers,_Triage,_Advanced_Tactics|Logistics 103]], and in the UniWiki ship class page on [[Capital Ship|Capital Ships]].

== Skills ==
==Recommended Logistics Pilot Skills==
What skills are required for the Combat Logistics Pilot?


=== Core Skills ===
As mentioned above, logistics ships are more skill-intensive than many other ship classes in EVE. Flying these ships requires training some skills that are broadly useful across many ship classes, but also some other skills that are uniquely useful to logistics pilots. But there is a logistics hull in EVE to match almost every pilot skill level, and Unistas interested in flying logistics are encouraged to start with Tech I logistics frigates and work their way up.
These skills are the minimum to be able to pilot and perform Remote Support Systems (RSS) operations with a Tech 1 logistics ship.
*[[Skills:Spaceship Command|Racial Cruiser]] - Minimum true Logistics ship, and one of the following skills:
*{{sk|Shield Emission Systems}} - permits use of Shield Transporters.
*{{sk|Remote Armor Repair Systems}} - permits use of Remote Armor Repair Systems.
*{{sk|Capacitor Emission Systems}} - permits use of Energy Transfer Arrays.
*{{sk|Sensor Linking}} - permits use of Remote Sensor Boosters and Tracking Links.


=== Secondary Skills ===
The chart below makes some skill recommendations for pilots interested in flying different logistics hulls, and explanations of why some specific skills are so critical:
While your fitting will depend on what your player skills will allow, the ideal combat logistics pilot should try to balance RSS capability and capacitor stability.
*{{sk|CPU Management}} - An increase to a ship's CPU by 5% per skill level.
*{{sk|Energy Grid Upgrades}} – A skill with a 5% reduction in CPU needs per skill level.
*{{sk|Capacitor Management}} - A 5% per skill level increase to your ship’s overall energy capacity helps you to remain capacitor stable.
*{{sk|Capacitor Systems Operation}} - A 5% reduction in cap recharge rate per skill level.
*{{sk|Power Grid Management}} - An increase to a ship’s Power Grid by 5% per skill level.
*{{sk|Leadership}} - provides non-direct RSS bonuses.
*{{sk|Long Range Targeting}} - A requirement to fly Tech 2 logistics ships; and a good idea to target as far out as you can for situation assessment.
*{{sk|Repair Systems}} - Decreases repairer cycle time.
*{{sk|Signature Analysis}} - A 5% per skill level improved targeting speed is beneficial, this skill is also necessary to fly Tech 2 Logistics ships.
*{{sk|Target Management}} and {{sk|Advanced Target Management}} - +1 Target per skill level. Being able to keep lock on multiple ships for quicker RSS is essential.
