Hey all. My corp has found a shadow large tower in a class 2 wh. The tower is offline and has no shields showing. There is alot of jamming batteries and a few guns for defence. It also has a corp hanger,intensive refinary,couple of reaction arrays a lab plus a few other structures. Are we able to unanchor the structures or must the tower be destroyed first. We have never attacked a pos before etc. If we have to destroy the tower the most ships we could field would be about 18 battleships with most able to t2 guns/ammo. Would it take forever to kill the tower or would we be able to do it in a short time.
Thankyou in advance for yor help

You have to destroy the tower to get to the modules. It will take a while to kill with 18 BS. For a rough estimate, lets assume each BS does a 1000 DPS(I know you can get more) and are hitting the 0% resists of the tower. A shadow control tower has 42 mill shield, 9.6 mill armor, 10 mill hull and your fleet is assumed to do 18000 DPS. Pulls out calculator. Time to kill = 3422 s = a little under an hour. Whether that's fast enough for you, I can't decide

If it's offline with no shields/FF, shoot the corp hanger and scoop any mods that drop. Also ship arrays for ship drops, and I think some refining/reactions/labs can contain blueprints and materials but I'm not sure. The main thing is usually the corp and ship stuff, any cans, then optionally ***** some gun/jammer kills. |

Thanks for the help. 1 hour is sweet as we thought it may take several hrs. Yes has no shields and the guns etc dont lock us or shoot at us even when we fired upon them. I think we will just shoot the mods and hope for drops. Thanks again for the help Now off for some fun, well as soon as dt and the patch is done

Well we started to shoot at the corp hanger array and we we doing good damage to it. After about 30 minutes shooting it a buzzard warped in and landed next to the tower. We were lucky enough to get him scrammed and webbed.He immediately started a convo asking why we were attacking his POS.After a short chat with him he agreed to pay us a nice sum to leave the pos and him alone. So lets just say it must have been some real nice stuff in the arrays as all 12 of us have plexs paid up for 3 months each. We thought about going back and popping the pos anyways but we are people who keep our word. Would be easy to take as they are a 6 man corp and we have usually 12 to 22 online at the same time. Oh well i just dream of what was in there lol Again thanks for the help

This is painful. How could you have billions of stuff in arrays with a faction tower(also worth billions) and not bother to keep the damn thing fueled so it has a force field? This is W-space. If it's not behind a force field, you shoot it.

Nice job making a story up bro. I use an alt with 20 minutes of training (destroyer I) to bust CHAs in empire, never takes more than a few minutes per. And that's in an unskilled destroyer with about 100 DPS.

Correct, plus a 10k structure. No resists on any of them. Let's do math, shall we?
50,000 total hitpoints Divided by 30 minutes = 1666.66 repeating Divided by 60 (the amount of seconds in a minute) = 27.77
So you'd have to have been doing 27.7 DPS to have taken that long to take out a CHA. In comparison, it takes a normal T2 fit battleship about a minute to a minute and a half. OP said he could field up to (22, was it?) battleships. That doesn't take 30 minutes.

You should of taken the money, destroyed his ship and pod then continue to blow up the POS.
With a 6 man corp that can't even afford to keep the shield running someone else is going to blow it up sooner or later. You might as well save him the trouble later.
Alternatively you can make him pay you a certain sum of money a month. If he doesn't do so you blow up the POS.

You guys definitely need to go back and get the rest of your well earned loot, I would suggest the payment was enuff to call you guys off short term while these guys take whatever action they need to secure valuables & that time has now elapsed.
Make no mistake dude, this is EvE, they'd do it to you in a heart-beat.
One other thing, this Corp probably has some ISK if they were able to offer you such a nice ransom so quickly on this occasion, I'd suggest you have hit a mother lode here & really need to check yourself if you are thinking of walking away.
Remember tho that their ISK can be used against you (mercs) so I'd be looking at crushing them now while you have the chance, the clock is ticking dude - time is ISK.
Open a dialogue, get somebody onto psychological warfare & get to work on these guys, get eyes on the POS for intel & ascertain what help you may need if any for the takedown & for gods sake get busy.
Remember the Corp who paid you the ransom are laughing at you now, because they know what you could have had & walked away from.
get serious & good luck!
