Since we're messing with command boosts anyway...


Concept: Command ships are limited to buffing one hull class above their own (e.g. destroyer boosts up through cruiser, cruiser up through bc, bc up through bs...)

Rationale: In real world application it doesn't make a lot of sense that a destroyer would be the command nexus for a carrier group. In game it would drive require more thought being put fleet composition. Precedent might lay in how logis of differing hull sizes have different levels of capability as applied to fleet support.

Thoughts?

Command destroyers were given as a more proper intro to boosting ship by player request.


Skills needed for CS or even link t3 deemed a bit high. And the other option of run the t1 bc with link not liked much by some.


TBH...since its actually used a good thing imo. Otherwise it just be more t3 running around since CS in booster role loses out to t3 most times.
