''Primary function:''

* Provide the fleet with [[Warfare links]] bonuses.

''Secondary function:''

* Carry out your basic damage dealer role in the fleet.

* Applying webs.

* Applying target painters.

''Requirements:''

* ~~Battlecruiser~~ (~~minimum~~)~~, Strategic Cruiser or~~ Command Ships (~~preferable~~).

* Minmatar Command Ship (preferably the [[Sleipnir]]).

* ~~Able to fit 5 tech two~~ links ~~and use a Mindlink implant~~ (~~see~~ the [[Anatomy_of_Incursions#~~Offgrid_boosts~~|~~offgrid~~ boosts]] section on '''Anatomy of Incursions''' for more details).

* {{sk|Command Ships|IV}} (for the command burst strength).

* Able to safely stay in space, uncloaked, links running (cannot be at war).

* {{co|coral|Republic Fleet Mindlink Implant}} (requires {{sk|Cybernetics|V}})).

* 4 command burst links (2 skirmish + 2 shield).

* See the [[Anatomy_of_Incursions#Ongrid_boosts|ongrid boosts]] section on '''Anatomy of Incursions''' for more details.

''Skills:''

* Train Command Ships or Defensive Subsystem for Strategic Cruisers.

* Train {{sk|Command Ships|V}}.

* Train {{sk|~~Wing~~ Command~~}} and {{sk~~|~~Fleet Command~~}} ~~to allow for multiple boosters~~.

* Improve your gunnery skills.

''Ships & Modules:''

''Ships & Modules:''.

* Fit more '''Command Processor I''' modules in order to run 6 or 7 links.

* Upgrade tech two damage and utility mods to faction mods (improve efficiency).

* Upgrade to ~~a Strategic Cruiser or a Command Ship~~.

''Gameplay:''

* ~~Find a suitable place to boost from, orbiting a station/gate (easiest to dock/jump), in a safespot (less visible) or some other place of your choosing~~.

* Ensure that boosts are active.

* ~~For a 6th or 7th link~~, ~~fit extra links based~~ on ~~what the fleet needs.~~

** Stop your command burst at the end of the site, so you can be ready to manually turn them back on as you land on the next gate. That way you'll ensure everyone have fresh boosts starting the site.

** If you ~~use target painters~~ the ~~'''Information Warfare link - Electronic Superiority''' link will help increase target painter efficiency~~.

* Combines well with the role of [[#Dronebunny|dronebunny]].

** If you'~~re running assaults without a second booster, the '''Information Warfare link - Sensor Integrity''' link will improve locking range.~~

** If you don't have ~~target painters~~ the ~~'''Skirmish Warfare Link - Rapid Deployment''' link will improve afterburner and microwarpdrive speeds~~.

* ~~For larger sites, like assaults, headquarters and mothership sites, it makes sense to combine the primary booster~~ with ~~a secondary booster. A [[Damnation]] or a [[Legion]] with an Imperial Navy Warfare Mindlink implant would make an excellent choice for a secondary booster, adding maxed armour (just~~ the ~~resist link) and information boosts.~~

* This role ~~isn't paid by game mechanics, but rely on~~ [[~~Roles_in_Incursions~~#~~Unpaid_roles_and_tipping~~|~~tips~~]] ~~to be compensated for their work~~.
