As the title says, what would be the best CS for sitting on a station and providing boosts. I would have thought tank would be quite important as its not sitting in a safe but stationery at a station.
I am new to this bonus stuff so any advice is great.
oh, and its in HS only. |

There's no one good answer; it's entirely dependent on what sort of boosts you want to provide. Each race of command ships has bonuses to two of the four types of boosts, and can run three command links natively; each race of strategic cruiser can be set up to provide boosts, with smaller bonuses to three of the four types of boost, but can only run one command link without resorting to command processors.

Ideally armour or shield as a base. |

For shield links only then got for a vulture as it has the resist bonus and 1 more mid than nighthawk.
For armour links only it is the damnation that is best since it can field the strongest tank.
If you want bonused skirmish links on top of that you will have to go without the resist bonuses and go for minmtar and gallente instead. I would guess that the Claymore and Astarte would be best as they have most tanking slots. One Man Crew - Collective solo pvp |

It mostly depends on the type of bonuses you're looking for.
- armor - shield - "overall pvp" (sounds a bit weird but it's the best way to explain it) - "overall sensor"
Each CS gets bonuses to two of the four types, each race gets a different pairing. So if you're looking for armor bonuses in combination with "overall pvp" bonuses then you go for the Eos. If you're looking for shield and overall pvp it'll be the Claymore. The "sensor" bonuses are mostly related to lock range and jamming or being jammed and as such are generally seen as less important and thus the Vulture and Damnation make less sense bonus wise.
Then you have to consider whether or not that CS will see combat, if it's just an alt outside your corp he can provide bonuses just fine while being fleeted with you and won't be in your wardec or other engagement. As such he wouldn't need any sort of serious tank. But if you'd use an armor focussed CS in "the line of fire" then the damnation can make good sense because even though his second link bonus may not be that useful he also gets a HP bonus that makes him more survivable.
In short; in high sec you will probably want a Claymore for shield or an Eos for Armor. |

Claymore or Astarte, depending on if you want skirmish + armor or skirmish + shields I'm CEO *****.

Actually you're correct on that, Astarte is the better choice. More fitting, more high slots. |
