Boosters are revamped in the winter expansion. They have lost ALL of their side effects. My biology skill is at an absolutely 'amazing' level 3. Roll I take a pill and my tracking improves by 30% for 47ish minutes. There are two booster skills that increase booster duration by 20%. (Biology is one). There's another that enhances effects by 5% per level.

Booster Slot One: Tank

Reduced sig radius - up to 10%
Increased armour repair - up to 20%
Increased Shield boost - up to 20%
Increased Capacitor - up to 15%

Booster Slot Two: Gank

Increased tracking - up to 30%
Increased optimal - up to 15%
Increased falloff - up to 15%

Booster Slot Three: Missiles?!?

Better Explosion Radius - up to 30% I think but I'm not sure b/c I didn't really care..... Blink

Anyways - go hop on Sissi and check them out. Then let us know what you think. Overpowered? A huge boon for lowsec? Discuss.

hmm. Powerful, but not too over powered, if they can effectively counter each other's effects. And it's not like it's only a subset of people can take it.

No effects at all. You can essentially take a booster from each slot. You'd only do that though if you flew the Rapier, Huginn, Typhoon, or the Nag.

Me like.



Boosters may be worthwhile for once.





Also, does this change preclude the contraband trading we've heard about in the past?

Hopefully Nanite Control will give some kind of enhancement to the booster, otherwise a very expensive useless skill

Biology - 20% to booster duration per level
Nanobiolody - 20% additional duration per level - Need biology 4
Neurobiology - 5% additional effects per level - Need nano 4

It would be funny if certain combinations caused side effects or even killed you. Straight Of course you'd have to add a whole lot more drugs first to do it right.

We have seen over the years a lot of threads where people wish CCP would make smuggling a more viable career. Perhaps this could be the way?

Oh, and synth variants are being made less craptastic by having their effect increase from +3% to +5% (for synth X-Instinct it will go from -2.25% to -2.5% to ship signature radius).

EDIT: It appears if you got Nanite Control trained it will transform into the skill Neurobiology (+5% per skill level to booster effects).

Boosters have always been good. That is not the issue.

The issue is more concerning ease of supply and the relative cost. I mean Strong boosters are in excess of 30 mil....

To quote Luke.... "We can almost buy our own ship for that...."
