DId I miss something or is it a bug, that I can fit a skirmish warfare link to a hurricane with skirmish mindlink and get 45k webs??
WIth the loki i get 47k
command ship 45.5k

Why bother with loki or command ship in a wormhole??

Is this a bug?

From the Claymore's description:

Command Ships Skill Bonus: 7.5% bonus to Medium Projectile Turret tracking speed and 3% bonus to effectiveness of Skirmish Warfare Links per level

Train the Command Ships skill to get better bonuses on a CS. Also, CSs can fit three links without using a command processor.

What's weird to me is, most fleets don't use them.

Used to be, only one link would be bonused on a T1 BC. If I recall, it had to be a racial match up too. Shields for Caldari, Armor for Amarr, etc.

I don't see that in the ship descriptions now though...

Because, eventually, links will have to be on-grid and there will be considerations for fitting your link ship beyond how many of them you can cram on.

Also, CS can fit three links before command processors.
