Combat Boosters/Drugs
Combat Boosters or “Drugs” as they are sometimes known are a great way to boost your ship's abilities for a small cost.
Do not use Standard/Improved/Strong Boosters In Our Fleets
Standard, improved and strong boosters have penalties. These penalties can negatively affect your ship and decrease its overall performance. As such we do not recommend them. The only combat boosters that pilots are allowed to use in fleet are the drifter boosters and special boosters such as Quafe Zero. These have no penalties.
Skills
You should train Biology Level 5 to increase the duration of boosters from 30 minutes at Level 0 to 1 hour at Level 5, this will decrease costs.
Legality
As of 28 June 2016 (28/06/2016) all boosters have been legalised and can be legally transported in empire space with no fines/standing losses/etc.
Drifter Boosters/Special Boosters have always been legal.
Useful Boosters by Ship Type
You have three booster slots, slot 1, 2 and 3. Like with implants, each booster type fits into a certain slot. The only slot 3 booster is only relevant for missile ships so we don't use slot 3 boosters. With some ships you may want to run 2 boosters, for others only one booster may be useful enough to use it on a regular basis.

| 2 | Antipharmakon Iokira | +8% Tracking | 3.1M ISK | It's not like the Vindi suffers from a lack of tracking anyway, but this can be useful, particularly for the DDD |
