In YC114 each major empire faction, having been embroiled in a harrowing, extensive, long-term war, recognized the growing need for support and logistics functionality in their vessels during the kind of protracted interstellar warfare that might otherwise prove exhausting for its participants. In the Minmatar Republic, this led to the redesign and redeployment of the Burst. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Burst is the Minmatar Logistics Frigate; Burst pilots repair their fleetmates’ ships during battle. The Burst is bonused for remote shield boosting, which matches the Minmatar racial focus on shield tanking. The ship’s bonuses to remote shield booster amount, activation, and range make the underwhelming base stats of small remote shield boosters practically useful. Flying the Burst is a great first step in learning about Logistics. Burst pilots often go on train into heavier Tech I logistics cruisers (such as the Minmatar Scythe), and then Tech II logistics ships (including the Scalpel and Scimitar). But the Burst is also effective all on its own, especially as a component of frigate or destroyer gangs, where speed is key.
