I'm curious as I didn't see anything on the dev blog about this,

Will I still need Warfare Link Specialist to 5 for the extra 10% bonus per level to mining foreman modules or is that being replaced / removed?

Just trying to figure out what exactly I need to have at lvl 5 to maximize my boosts when it comes to lazer range and cycle time. Yield is not important to me.

Thanks

It sounds like Mindlink skills are being removed and replaced completely. Expect SP reimbursements.

To the OP: It's a complete reworking of the mechanics. You're probably better off forgetting about the current stuff and approaching Command Bursts as if there'd never been anything else. I'm sure it'll all be explained in due course.

I have Leadership to V and some other bits and bobs, but I want to see it all with fresh eyes. Anyway, it's coming in November, which isn't enough time to train all that stuff only to find it's redundant. Sharpen up core and ship skills and keep your eyes open for informed comment.

See you in the belts! (I'll be the one flashing a rather fetching red).

No, it doesn't. Their purpose is being changed, but they are not being removed, and reimbursements are pretty unlikely. Unless something has changed since the original command burst dev blog thread, they've already flat out said no to reimbursement.

The base leadership skill (e.g., Mining Foreman) will increase boost duration by 10%/level.
The specialization skill (e.g., Mining Director) will increase boost strength by 10%/level.

This and then Leadership, Wing Command and Fleet Command are all range boosts as well but for personal fleets Leadership 5 should be fine anyway.

Then if you run the old Siege, or for the new Mining Mindlink, you will want Siege skills too for that.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Oh, and, to add: Warfare Link Specialist becomes Command Burst Specialist and will reduce reload time by 10%/level. So, probably not really a priority, there, in your case.

That's what I meant. The Link skills are being replaced by Command Burst.

Right... but they won't be reimbursed (SP removed and placed into the unallocated pool).
