The worst time to do this EVER. I'm going on vacation this next week, and I'm gonna miss out on double xp qq

I'm assuming it'll be just like the Alpha squad boost. Which as a 6-month member, and Alpha squad boost... I get 100% xp (plus faction incentive if there is one). Boost and premium are separate slots. The only thing I can think might be different is that it could be for only 1 character, rather than a whole account.

I might pick up a 6 month boost to have in reserve for when the Alpha squad drops.

So is this a different slot then the weekly boost you can buy?

That's a good question, I wonder what is the best place to get some answers.

The alpha squad boost takes the same slot as the weekly. That's why some alpha-squaders lost their boost in the beginning, not knowing that the weekly would kill it. Also why they bumped alpha up to 50% in the first place... because it was a disadvantage compared to the 50% weekly boost. (as far as xp gains... not xp/SC cost)

Think of it as a 6-month version of the weekly boost. I imagine it's for only the character you purchase it with as well, like the weekly. (all speculation until it comes out, however)
