fleshing out drugs seems like an alright idea in principal
on the note of nerfing the sid effects tho, i'd rather drugs dnt become another 'must have' for PvP. significant side effects need to remain a good balancing factor/deterrent.

I think there should be non combat boosters also, thing that can help with everything else in the game. Would mean more boosters to make/sell and more people using them when they need that extra bit out their stuff... Without spending billions of isk on implants or faction gear.
that sounds like boosters becoming the must have thing.
i dnt mind more ppl having uses for boosters, and having accessibility to boosters, but i think boosters in themselves should be very small niche items.
the niche specific boost should be less powerful than the general unspecific draw backs of boosters. so the situations where a booster is more of an advantage than disadvantage are a niche in themselves. Otherwise it becomes like trying to PvP with non-faction ammo and T1 mods. Doable, but at a general disadvantage against everyone everywhere.

The best change to boosters over all would be a removal of their random penalties and transfer them to flat penalties that always apply at a slightly lower severity. Nothing else in the game is random so why are drugs so crippling?
hopefully so they come with a significant downside.
ppl dnt take T1 ammo because faction is always better. and ppl dnt always use T2 ammo every second, because the disadvantages are quite harmful, but ppl switch to T2 ammo when they find themselves in a situation that would make it an advantage.
-if u make boosters a general advantage, then there is no reason not to take them every fight. just like faction ammo.
-however, if they are generally a disadvantage, but give a boost in a niche specific area, u can wait until ur in that niche specific situation and then take them and be rewarded with a performance boost that serves u well in that niche specific situation. Like T2 ammo.
even under those circumstances, i can see boosters being a 'must bring along' item. something i want to avoid.
