I would much prefer abolishing the concept of boosters altogether and CCP Z will have to do just that if he's remotely serious about

I wouldn't completly abolish them. I would however ask for the removal of paying for SP boosters. In EVE boosters can help alot and can be purchased with ISK on the player market or LP from the loyalty store. Some boosters and implants are illegal but others arn't. More Reading on BoostersMore Reading on ImplantsAs for the OP. I like the idea, however i think it would be more of a squad/platoon bonus than it would be a booster. Sure. I was strictly referring to AUR based boosters as part of the revenue stream +á la Dust. If IWS is talking ISK/LP boosters then have at it.
This in the form of a module would be a perfect fit for the hopefully upcoming commander class btw.
ORE commander suits anyone?

But under this rule set AUR gear would be fine as well since its only non-temporary function is also strictly economical by saving the ISK, analogous to gaining more ISK from additional/better loot.
Seeing as CCP Z doesn't want to bring AUR gear over to Legion:

I'd assume that he's looking to remove any and all gameplay affecting offerings from the revenue stream.
There's also the question of how "fair" it is to expect players to regularly purchase several types of boosters for ISK to not lose the competitive edge. Including this one we'd already be at four (passive, active, preferred LP, loot) different boosters to buy in order to be on an even playing field.

Throws down free loot booster and shout to the whole map
"This Loot booster was brought to you by Illegal acquisitions; join our corp today for more funzies" I can totally understand your intentions here. But let's not fool ourselves, thinking that this won't turn into something every high tier corp will feel compelled to use as much as possible in order to maximize profits.
This booster will be used as a community building tool just as much as active boosters are used purely for their convenience (and not as a way to maximize SP gain for as many toons as possible).
This is why f2p monetization is such a difficult thing to do, especially if you define "fair" and "non-p2w" as two of your central objectives.
