Skill Discussions

So i have a more general alt. He is a trader, perfect miner can explore very well. I am going to attempt to turn him into a booster for my main while the main does anom's or missions or whatnot.

He already has leadership 5 but i am i curious to what is considered a perfect booster? Is it as simple as pumping all the leadership skills i want to 5 and that is that or are there other things to take into account.

Another question if anyone wants to answer it although its off forum topic. What would be considered the best boosting ships for combat oriented boosts. I know that Command Ships get bonus's but are there any other routes worth looking into?

Thanks

Plus Command Ships and Strategic Cruisers (and possibly Industrial Command Ships and/or Capital Industrial Ships).

CCP has announced that boosting will change, and that Command Ships will have a bigger bonus (3% per level) than T3 which is getting nerfed (from 5% to 2% per level), but T3 will get additional bonuses for other links. Mindlinks are also likely to be removed with the bonuses added to ships / skills.

Command ships are race specific,regarding the bonus they give.
Minmatar = Skirmish
Gallante = Information
Caldari = Shield
Amarr = Armor

Many Command ships can mount 6 links, but only 3 would actually be bonused.
Typically, Skirmish is the best thing you can add to almost any fleet. Then secondary bonus would be Shield or Armor, depending on fleet make up. Information links...not used all that much, but they do have a use.

Based on that, you will see lots of Loki boosters in game. After patch changes, *perhaps* more Claymore's.
