Lets just say for example you are boosting Shield, Armor and Skirmish.

you start off with 10K shield, 10K armor and 1km/s speed before any link bonus.

then you have someone else in an Orca with Lv 5 for all the related assist skills. plus mindlinks.

what would that take your overall for each thing to be?

3 seperate implants, not at the same time of course (same slot i think?)

i suck at percentage, so from 10K or 1m/s what would the maximum boost actually provide?

1 ALT in an orca boosting, so no extra 5% from a loki, although if someone could give me those figures too would be good.

Dont mind me,  just touching your stuff.

1. I take it you've never used EFT before. Makes answering such questions trivial.

2. You do realize you only get the highest boost of each type, right? Boosts of the same type don't add.

i have used EFT, EveMon and pyfa.

i was just asking for the simplest iteration. the maximum a 10K shield could be boosted for...

Siege Warfare = 2% more shield / level
Siege Warfare Specialist = 100% link bonus / level
Warfare Link Specialist = 10% link bonus / level
Siege Warfare Mindlink Implant = 15% more shield (replaces Siege Warfare bonus), 50% link bonus.

All Siege Warfare links are 2%. There are 3 of them: increase resists, reduce shield boost capacitor use, reduce shield boost cycle time. Armor Warfare links are similar.

Max skills and no Mindlink:
10% more shield
15% more shield resists
15% less capacitor use
15% less cycle time

Max skills and Mindlink:
15% more shield
22.5% more shield resists
22.5% less capacitor use
22.5% less cycle time

Then there are ship bonuses.

Yes but are these additive or not


ie does a fleet member with say 50/50/50/50 resists become 65/65/65/65 or 57.5 / 57.5 / 57.5 / 57.5

It is equivalent to adding another resist module, and there is a stacking penalty applied. Everything in EVE is multiplicative.

Aenigma's Stacking Penalty Guide

Best to use EFT to see what the effect of the booster(s) is.

in addition to what they've already told you, consider that you can only have 3 people boosting for you iirc (squad, wing, fleet) and as has already been pointed out you only get the bonus from the best skilled of them.

also, i believe an orca only gets bonuses towards mining links, which means that you're losing a lot compared to another type of boosting ship. (and it's also good to point out that boosting different tank types in the same fleet is kind of ********)

personally, i suggest also training warfare link specialist to level 5 as that will drastically improve your boosting ability (in addition to allowing you to use the command processor and use more link modules). it's also a prereq for flying a command ship.

Level 4 is the pre-req for Command Ships - also you'd do better to train the relevant Warfare Specialist skills to 5 rather than training Warfare Link Specialist to 5. They give you better boosts and also are pre-reqs for the relevant mindlinks.

Warfare Link Specialist 5 should come last unless you have a desperate need to run 4 warfare links on your fleet command ships.
