Support a boost to field command ships. Astarte especially. Its just terribad. Maybe switch the falloff bonus for a ROF bonus. More PG is required and I think a low slot over a high with a ROF bonus.
Reduce cost of these ships too. No point flying a CS over a BS at the minute.

Then the gang mods themselves need overhauling. Let's face it, the Minnie and Amarr links are great and the Gall and Cal ones are a bit crappy - the inforwarfare links are too niche, tend to be stacked with modules and are a bit weak anyway, while the Caldari ones are designed for shield gangs that simply don't exist thanks to the absurd CPU requirements of shield transporters. Okay, they help with e.g. shield cruiser gangs, but you'd still prefer the Minnie ones there.
So... Amarr ones are fine, leave them as is. Minmatar gets sig radius, tackle range and MWD/AB speed boost bonus. These are too good. The sig radius bonus isn't stacked with other mods, unlike e.g. shield/armour resists, neither is the speed boost bonus. While it makes sense in principle for these to be Minmatar links, their magnitudes should be examined. The tackle mod range bonus is too good. It should apply only to webs, while Gallente gets a gang mod for disruptor/scrambler range.
The Gallente link for sensor strength makes sense racially, but it needs to be stronger, and to avoid being too niche it should also give a bonus to scan resolution. Hell, you could even throw a targeting range bonus in as well. The second Gall link could be the scrambler/disruptor range one. The third could be ewar mods strength and range - I'd like this to be a Caldari one really, but I'm not sure what to do with the Caldari ones if it were moved to Caldari. Hell, I'm not sure what to do with the Caldari ones anyway - even if shield transporter CPU requirements are fixed then armour BS gangs will still be dominant, simply because of slot layouts.
Gallente gang links are a joke. They need an entire new line of gang links that fit the Gallente doctrine. Assault Warfare Links anyone? These links would improve weapon performance but NOT DPS.
Info links moved to new ship class for each race -Covert Command- (T2 Destroyer anyone?)
