Fleet Boosters

Fleet boosters provide essential buffs to the entire fleet:

These fleet boosts provide a safety margin to the fleet. While they are not absolutely necessary for site completion (eg, fleet can continue if the booster DCs), ER requires boosters in its HQ fleets and requires the FC provide the primary fleet booster (Eos).

The Booster fits can be found here https://hq.everookies.com/fits?Tier=Logistics

Eos - Primary Booster

The primary fleet booster is the Gallente Battlecruiser Eos, and is exclusively flown by the fleet's FC. The Eos receives bonuses to Armor and Skirmish command burst strengths and duration.

This set up helps to decrease the fleet's lock time, increase their resistance to jamming, increase the fleet's agility and increase the range of the Vindicator's Stasis Webifiers.

Meat Shield

The meat shield's role is to pull initial wave aggro through positioning. This role is normally taken by one of the boosters, usually the secondary booster.

TCRC

In a TCRC or Kundalini the MS enters the site first to consolidate aggro. It should have a Medium Micro Jump Drive fitted (the Eos will remove a remote sensor booster to fit it). This allows the MS to jump backwards in a TCRC entrance.

On the way to the TCRC the meat shield will “X MS” in the fleet chat to let the FC know they are active and ready to perform their role. A TCRC entrance goes as follows:

Once aggro switches away and the next site is broadcast, the Meat Shield can warp off, assuming MS isn't taking payment. If MS is to be paid, rep your own drone to earn a payout and wait for the site to finish before warping. When landing on the next site's gate, broadcast for armor reps so the fleet can top your armor off with their battle reps.

Kundalini

As in a TCRC, the Meat Shield has a Medium MJD fitted and enters the site first to consolidate aggro.

Training a Booster Character

There are a few ways you can train up a booster pilot.
