Warfare & Tactics

Skills that effect a loki boosters gang link effectiveness;

Skirmish Warfare + Skirmish Warfare Specialist + Warfare Link Specialist + Minmatar Defensive Subsystems

Items that effect a loki boosters gang link effectiveness;

Skirmish Warfare Mindlink.

To fit more than 1 link on a loki booster, you will need warefare link specialist to 5, then use +1 Command Processor per link.

Basically, there are no near perfect boosters. There are boosters that, while better than nothing, are terrible. And boosters that have the prereqs mentioned above at 5 so they can use command processors and mindlinks, which as long as they have the t3 defensive subsystem for the relevant race to 5, is a perfect booster.

This applies to all other boosters;

Armour Warfare = Legion

Siege Warefare = Tengu

Information Warfare = Proteus

You can for example put an armour link on the Loki skirmish booster but it will be less effective than if it was on a Legion with an armoured warfare mindlink.

You could also end up flying with a loki and an armoured warfare mindlink. The loki hull defensive subsystem skill would bonus the skirmish links and the mindlink would bonus the armoured warfare links. Though neither of the type of links would be functioning near maximum.

The exact setup of your booster depends on what exactly you are flying. For example, if im flying a buffer fit, 2 out of the 3 armour links are useless since they relate to local and remote reps. Instead of using those i will use only the resistance armour link and also 2 unbonused skirmish links for speed and point range and perhaps an information warfare link to make me harder to jam.

There are lots of ways to configure your boosters and lots of opinions on how to fit them. Have fun!

My preferred solution would be to drop a gnosis on the OGB and kill it. What is a boosted (or Not) frig gonna do to a missile gnosis? But CCP is still protecting these precious little flowers - I mean elite PvP solo pilots.

-1 CCP for that.

Well, since my booster has over a year in boosting related skills, i dont see why lazy folk think it will be ok to probe it down with a 3 week old buddy account with 700k SP.

Get your prober training if thats what you want to do, theres a lot of mobile non possed up boosters out there. Happy hunting.



The mindlink is an implant for slot 10. It gives a bonus to all links fitted to the booster of its own category. So a Skirmish Warfare Mindlink will effect skirmish links fitted to any titan, carrier, tech 3, command ship or battlecruiser no matter how many of them you have.
An Armored Warfare Mindlink for example will have no effect on the skirmish links fitted to any ship, but will bonus armoured links fitted to any of the above ships.

To get maximum boosts, you have to stack these bonuses;

Loki + Skirmish Links + Skirmish Mindlink
Legion + Armoured Links + Armoured Mindlink etc.

There are times where it makes a lot of sense to mix and match your mindlink and link types depending on what exactly you are flying or flying against. But that is for your to figure out.

I find fighting people who have links, with my links are better fights. Makes more fits viable. Opens up wider envelopes of engagement.

I also use my links to engage multiple targets and find myself fighting 1v5 ot 1v10 nearly every day.

Usually, people who complain really only do so because the links prevented them from fleeing from a fight they thought they could GTFO from if it went wrong.

But your name is LONEWARRIOR I just don't get it!

Challenging was me tackling a dual propped loki boosted HG snaked dram that was considerably faster than me in my 13m isk scram maulus. All you guys do is blob people with 10mn coercers. Hardly a challenge specuially since you have 4 corp standing boosters running links from posses across 3 systems. But it all has its place. At least my booster is potentially a target.

Without boosts, my maulus would just die to the first drone that came along.

As I said if you cant beat em join em :)

There was one guy with 4 boosting alts camping our home system, fighting him was like taking on 7 or 8 ships at once. Just insanity!

I would say qcats is one of the least blobby corps in low sec. In fact I think the only time I was "blobbed" fighting them, was when I choose to fight right on their station.



Your stretching the meaning of "potentially" How many have you lost?



I'm not so sure. The maulus you fly is good due to the dampening and the way you use your drones. Sure if you didn't have the loki it wouldn't be so easy. But it still might work.

With corpmates like these, who needs enemies?

PS: Rank 21 vs 29. Bring it!

I doubt it, because if that were the case you would have let me kill him.


Anyway, who said I was even referring to that fight as an example of your blobbing? I assumed that was qcat's business as usual.
