I prefer specialty boosters if they're available. Otherwise I use scouts.

The fuel transport when playing an IS is wonderful. You'll need plenty of those as chaff for your pop-bombs later, anyways.

Won't work if you enemy uses "Freighters" or "Bomber/Freighters" as target ...

It's never even occurred to me to use the destroyer as a booster. How come nobody mentioned frigates as boosters? I've used those before. Cheap, and with 3 fuel tanks they hold lots of fuel. Good for boosting the bigger ships.

Made me wonder too, but Iztok mentioned them, they are indeed close to the SFX but I use (or "used" since I'm no mostly playing SD and enjoying the MML booster) them a lot, cheap, gate-able (SFX not that much, but still do-able) and also similar to what Iztok said regarding scouts/FX better to boost more fleets, than just one with an overkill on fuel.
