You require x FC skill to run x wings
You require x WC skill to run x squads
You require 5 Leadership to run a full squad
Question 1
Say you have a maxed out ganglink booster in FC position with a mindlink implant (skirmish or armour) et al
If the WC or your SC do not have level 5 siege/armour warfare are the full bonuses passed down? Or does everyone in the chain need to have level 5 bonus skills?
Question 2
I have seen multiple boosters in fleets, one in the FC position and one in the WC. From reading the text I am led to believe that you can only be receiving boosts from 1 person in fleet at a time. So why?
Will the game decide you receive boosts from the 'better' booster of the two and mix and match? Or is it just futile and our FC didn't know what he was doing. Maybe one was boosting shield and the other skirmish?
The highest bonuses from the chain are applied. So you can have one bonus from the FC, two from WC, and one from SC for example.

"Set this person as fleet/wing/squad booster"
So you can have a ganglink ship with 0 leadership, 0 wing command, 0 fleet command, and it can still boost from a squad member position?
It can, yes.
Elindreal wrote:I tried this and the boosts did not flow. I was told it was because we did not have a person with proper skills in the FC position. I wasn't able to continue testing, but if you have everyone with skills in the correct position, is it true you can effectively boost from a squad member position?
Yes, if you have been set as the squad booster. Note that I don't know if the bonuses are passed on upwards in the chain and on to other squads. If I would have to guess I'd say they are not. Someone else need to answer that with 100% accurate info.
Elindreal wrote:Or is this for if your fleet has an interceptor wing and you specifically want a separate booster for them with the interdiction maneuvres link? So everyone gets the primary boosts, meanwhile your one inty squad won't receive those but will instead receive longer point.
Nope, the inty squad will get all the bonuses.
Note that the usual restrictions of course still apply. I.e. everyone needs to be in the same system than the boosting characters and not docked in a station. And the boosters cant' be docked either.
