This page should be updated due to game changes.
Reason: December 2021 Mining updates - Industrial core changes on the Rorqual, and new industrial core for the Orca. Rorqual and Orca changes to boost strength and ranges.
Warfare-links.png Command Bursts are modules that increase the effectiveness of one or several aspects of a ship. They can only be fitted to certain ships but are extremely potent as they will give their bonuses to every single member of the fleet (up to 256 people) as long as they are within the area of effect of the burst.

Prior to the Ascension expansion of November 2016, Command Bursts existed as a set of modules called Warfare Links (or just 'Links'), which provided similar effects but with less flexibility.

Command Bursts

The command burst modules come in five different variants, each with three different type of charges giving different effects, as well as a tech one and a tech two version of the command burst modules. Compared to the Command Burst I, the Command Burst II consumes slightly more CPU and Powergrid to fit, and requires training in the burst's Specialization skill, but in exchange fires bursts which are 25% stronger than the bursts of a tech I module.

Upon activation of a Command Burst module you will get a Icon timer weapons.png weapon timer for 60 seconds (equal to the module's 60 second cycle time) and the bonuses will spread amongst any and all fleet members within your area of effect range. Both the duration and area of effect range is highly influenced by your skills and if you're using any of the special command mindlink implants or industrial cores.

Command Bursts are affected by legality in high security space, removing the benefit of fleet members in high security space if they involve themselves as third parties to wars or limited engagements. See remote assistance for more details.

All Command Burst modules require the Omega Clone State to be used. However, any character can benefit from bursts fired by fleet members.

You can find the modules on the market under the Icon gunnery turret.png Ship Equipment and Warfare-links.png Fleet Assistance Modules, whereas the charges are under the Icon market ammo.png Ammunition & Charges and Warfare-links.png Command Burst Charges.

Skills

There are several skills influencing the effect of command bursts, be that their strength, duration, area of effect range or reload speed. These skills are all under the Fleet Support skill family, and thus require the Charisma attribute to be trained quickly.

Icon skillbook2.png Leadership (+7% range per level, +35% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Wing Command (+6% range per level, +30% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Fleet Command (+5% range per level, +25% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Command Burst Specialist (-10% reload speed per level, -50% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Armored Command (+10% duration of armor bursts, +50% max)

Icon skillbook2.png Shield Command (+10% duration of shield bursts, +50% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Shield Command Specialist (+10% strength of shield bursts, +50% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Information Command (+10% duration of information bursts, +50% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Information Command Specialist (+10% strength of information bursts, +50% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Skirmish Command (+10% duration of skirmish bursts, +50% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Skirmish Command Specialist (+10% strength of skirmish bursts, +50% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Mining Foreman (+10% duration of mining bursts, +50% max)
Icon skillbook2.png Mining Director (+10% strength of mining bursts, +50% max)

Command Mindlink implants

Various command mindlink implants boost the strength and duration effect of Command Burst modules. These implants all take up Slot 10.

  1. ^ Ships like Strategic Cruisers get three racial bonuses.
  2. ^ With the exception of the Porpoise, who only gets the mining bonus.
Command Processor rigs

There's a rig called Command Processor I that will allow your ship to fit an additional command burst module. The rig uses Icon calibration.png 150 calibration so ships are limited to +2 more command burst modules due to the high calibration cost (as ships cannot have more than 350 - 400 calibration available). This will allows an Orca to fit up to 5 command burst modules, command ships to get 4 command burst modules, command destroyers to fit 3 command burst modules etc. The balance comes with the fact that you'll be giving up precious rig slots, which often drastically lowers the tank potential of the ship.

For the armour and shield command burst using the Icon armor reinforcement.png Armor Reinforcement Charge or the Icon shield extension.png Shield Extension Charge it usually pays off to have one person run it, as the maximum bonus (+22.5% hit points) will give you a higher boost compared to a Module icon armor rig tech2.png Trimark Armor Pump II or Module icon shield rig tech2.png Core Defense Field Extender II rig (+20% hit points), not to mention the fact it gives this bonus to anyone within range.

Industrial core

The industrial core is a module that the Rorqual, Orca, and Porpoise can fit that gives additional bonuses to Icon mining command burst.png Mining Foreman and Icon shield command burst.png Shield Command Burst modules, but only when activated. Activating the core locks the ship down in a similar manner to how a Dreadnought's Siege Module works (immobilizing the ship and blocking remote assistance, but significantly amplifying the ship's defenses and other abilities). The industrial core come in two flavors, Medium Industrial Core and Large Industrial Core, and are fit on different ships. The Porpoise fits the Medium Industrial Core. The Rorqual and Orca fit the Large Industrial Core.

Module icon industrial core i.png Large Industrial Core I +10% bonus to Icon mining command burst.png Mining Foreman Burst strength.

Calculating Command Burst bonuses

For those wondering how these different bonuses are calculated, here's the math behind the way CCP calculates Command Burst bonuses.

Formula for strength

The various multipliers for strength are calculated as follows:

No content.

Here are two examples of how the strength scale with skills, ship bonuses and implants. This assumes you swap to a tech two module once you have the required skills for it (indicated by the tech two icon in the chart).

The following is a bonus-scale for the 8% resist bonus:

  1. ^ a b The Rorqual gets a +5% bonus to mining bursts and +3% bonus to shield bursts.
  2. ^ a b The Orca gets a +3% bonus to mining bursts and +1% bonus to shield bursts. For mining bursts, Icon skillbook2.png Mining Foreman V is required to sit in the ship, so values prior to Command Skill V are are unobtainable alongside the 3% bonus.

Formula for area of effect range

The area of effect range is calculated like this:

Formula for reload speed

Since reload speed is affected by fewer things, the calculation is simple:

As such, the reload speed ranges from 60, Certificate-level1.png 54, Certificate-level2.png 48, Certificate-level3.png 42, Certificate-level4.png 36 and Certificate-level5.png 30 seconds based on your Command Burst Specialist skill.
