Fleet Structure in Incursions
Below are a few examples of how you can setup the fleet. Remember that each command position unlocks the use of a booster, but is not limited to being the booster themselves.
Also if you assign someone other than the commander to be the booster, remember that you need to reset all booster roles below that for the chain to initiate correctly. So for example, everytime you set or change a Wing Booster, revoke and reset all Squad Boosters. If you change the Fleet Booster you'll have to reset everything else, Wing Boosters first, then all Squad Boosters.
You can read more about fleet structures and leadership on the Fleet Leadership page.
Basic fleet supporting a single wing booster
| Fleet structure | Description |
+ Booster set to Wing Booster. |
This is the basic fleet setup allowing the Squad and Wing Commander to tag enemies and the Wing Commander to warp the entire fleet with the Warp Wing mechanics.
|
Fleet supporting multiple boosters
| Fleet structure | Description |
+ Fleet Commander set to Fleet Booster. |
By having a Fleet Commander you unlock the ability to use Fleet, Wing and Squad boosters. The most common use of this is to have both an implanted Skirmish booster as well as an implanted Siege/Armour booster, so you can get perfect boosts for both.
The exact setup can be more flexible. If you have a damage dealer with Fleet Command trained, you can assign anyone in the fleet to be the Fleet Booster for example. The second squad doesn't necessarily need to be a logistics squad either, and one of the boosters can easily be the Squad Commander for either squad.

Improving fleet efficiency
Gang links and utility modules offer tremendous effects for a fleet, easily capable of increasing efficiency for individual pilots or the entire fleet. Be that by pushing range of certain modules past a critical threshold to fleet-wide increases that allow you to operate effectively with fewer people, or simply be that much stronger with the people you already have.
Below are lists of skills required for and the effects of gang links, stacking penalties for webs, maintenance bot efficiency and various utility modules and their effects.
Command Ships and Fleet Assistance Modules
Relevant skills
Below are the skills required to become a perfect booster. The skills under Warfare Gang Links and Warfare Mindlink implants are general skills needed, while the skills differ if you're going to use a Command Ship for boosting or a Strategic Cruiser.
| Warfare Gang Links | Strategic cruisers | Command Ships | Warfare Mindlink implants |
|---|---|---|---|

- <racial> Cruiser V means Amarr, Caldari, Gallente or Minmatar Cruiser V.
- <racial> Warfare (Specialist) V means Armor, Siege, Skirmish or Information Warfare (Specialist) V.
Command Ships vs Strategic Cruisers
Below is a breakdown on the differences between running in Command Ships and Strategic Cruisers. Keep in mind that while Command Ships may not give quite as good boosts as Strategic Cruisers, they have a much easier time fitting 5-6 links while fielding a decent tank (to ward off suicide gankers). Being able to fit both both skirmish and siege/armour links on a single ship adds flexibility.
The following will assume you have all the relevant skills trained to V and using tech 2 gang links, then show the difference between the various ships with or without (numbers in parenthesis) the appropriate mindlink implant.
You can read more about warfare links and the details on the warfare links page.

Bonused webs and stacking
The primary percentage is from using a 60% base reduction web, like the Federation Navy Stasis Webifier and the percentages in parenthesis is for 55% base reduction webs, like the True Sansha Stasis Webifier. The parenthesis in the header is the effective rating of each new web given the stacking penalty.
Velocity bonused ships like the Vindicator or the Vigilant have a 50% stronger reduction in speed (90% and 82,5% respectively for the two faction webs).

- Tech two light and medium armour drones only increase efficiency by 16,67% whereas the tech two shield drones are 20% more effecive. Both heavy armour and shield drones have the same +20% efficiency however.
- A single flight of Heavy Shield Maintenance Bot II drones can keep a logistics ship alive for a quite some time, as could a few flights of Medium Shield Maintenance Bot II drones, so do not underestimate the value of having tech two maintenance bots as backups on damage dealers.
- Logistics drones rarely get any aggro, so there is no reason not to use tech two drones if you can.
Tracking Links and Remote Sensor Boosters
Tracking links are extremely useful to push the range on weapons or give battleships a much needed boost to their tracking. Remote sensor boosters aren't quite as good, but can still be useful to boost a battleship's scan resolution, allowing them to actually lock frigates in time or push targeting range for snipers.
| Tracking links | Scripted | Unscripted | |
| Tracking speed script | Optimal range script | ||
| Tracking Link II (bonused) |
+30% tracking (+45% tracking) |
+15% optimal and +30% falloff (+22,5% optimal and +45% falloff) |
+15% tracking, +7,5% optimal and +15% falloff (+22,5% tracking, +11,25% optimal and +22,5% falloff) |

| Remote sensor boosters | Scripted | Unscripted | |
| Scan resolution script | Targeting range script | ||
| F-23 Reciprocal Sensor Cluster Link | +64% scan resolution | +76% targeting range | +32% scan resolution and +38% targeting range |
| Remote Sensor Booster II | +66% scan resolution | +81% targeting range | +33% scan resolution and +40,5% targeting range |
- These modules suffer from stacking penalties as well, so the effect isn't necessarily as good as the numbers shown.
