What are people looking for in a T3 booster alt?

Probably a SP refund.

Sell it now before the announced nerf.

Command ships are the future.

When this change is implemented at some point, commandships will still lack the covert ops cloak etc. though.

I'm quiet surprised that the promised link changes haven't been adressed yet. Originally they seemed to be planed for Odyssey.

you cant boost while cloaked so i dont see the advantage of the covert reconfig as you can slap a regular cloak on anything if you really needed it.

In a big fight, the command ships are very likely to be shot early/first. Assuming the enemy has enough fire power to break it, you loose links at the start of the fight. Thus there *may* still be some demand for T3 boosters. T3 boosters absolutely need a covops cloak, as you don't tank them. Without a covops cloak, you simply cannot move your fleet into a system if the enemy hold the in gate.

As to the OP's question

Any booster pilot needs -
Cybernetics 5
Wing Command 5
Fleet Command 3+
Warfare Link Specialist 5
All first tier warfare bonuses 5
Skirmish/Armored/Siege Warfare Specialist 5 (At least one, though all 3 preferred)

T3 Booster -
T3 Defensive subsystem 5 (For each race you train Warfare Spec 5, IE Skirmish = Min)
T3 Electronics sub 4 (5 strongly preferred)
Other Subs t3-4
Cloaking 4

Command Ship Booster
Command Ships 5
Racial BC 5 (For each race you train Warfare Spec 5, IE Skirmish = Min)
Cloaking 1
All fitting skills to 5 (Most would be to 5 for a T3 booster on account of subsystem prereqs as well)
Tank skills

in a big fight your booster will already be at a safe in the system you are fighting in or you don't fight.
