You aren't going far enough with the new booster.
A single EAT is not that powerful. It removes one threat. It's not a problem solver in the times that matter. Two coming down with your reinforcement, that's cute. Two coming down with your resupply... That's fine.
You want people to actually consider this booster?
Every Hellpod. Every single time we call a Hellpod of any kind, it should be accompanied by an EAT pod right next to it. Doesn't even require custom dev work. Just have an EAT pod land next to the Hellpod. Can contain a single EAT if we have to monkeys paw this shit.
That would actually be a booster worth bringing.
