I don't understand why people are complaining about this, it's not like it's impossible to kill offgrid boosters unless they are in a pos, in which case it's a matter of the residents of a system having a slight advantage, which is fine.
Limiting boosting to ongrid will make managing fleet hierachy a nightmare with the current game mechanics, as you will lose bonusses (potentially for the entire fleet) whenever a commander of some sort dies or is forced to leave grid for some reason, and it'll also screw up if you have to split your fleet up to fight in several places at once.
The people who think fitting command t3s with buffer and weapons is a good idea are just plain wrong. It will be useless and outperformed by a drake, and also only have 1 link, and be overpriced (noone would ever use that subsystem on a t3 again). Commandships, however, are meant to be on the field - I wouldn't mind if those were buffed in order to be doing the job better than offgrid t3s . Maybe switch the bonusses so the commandships give a bigger bonus that T3s. Or make some kind of mechanic that enhances Command bonusses for a command ships if they are on grid, so it'll have the role intended.

How about this.
Nerf T3 links slightly (mby just remove the command bonus so they are the same as Battlecruiser links) but leave them alone otherwise (still able to be offgrid).
Then buff commandship links to current T3 stats but limit them to ongrid.
This will allow small roaming gangs, who doesn't have manpower to bring people in command ships, to still bring their alts in cloaky t3s like they do now - slightly less effectively. And it will ensure that an ongrid dedicated command ship will do the job better, rewarding the people who actually bring their links to the fight.
tbh I would rather not see it changed at all, but this is a compromise I can live with
