From what I read about these ISK generators, Reinforcement to be more specific, if your POCO gets dropped to 25% it becomes invulnerable. But comes out of invulnerability depending on what time you set, the next day. And to reset the Reinforcement timer the POCO just needs to be repaired above 25%. So... instead of coming to its defense guns blazing... why not wait a bit and repair it back to 100% and have an escort guard the repairer? Or is that what happens. "Veni, vidi, vici" -Julius Caesar

Two things will happen.
1. the agressors will be ready to kill it as soon as it comes out forcing you to go in guns blazing to kill them before they can kill the poco.
2. they dont show up meaning you show up and rep it a bit (no point in repping it to 100%, just enough so they wont RF it instantly again. Pocos regen shields very fast so normally the natural shield regen will do the rest.

Sometimes people hire mercs to guard them as they repair. This was the case in my corp when a wardeccer had put the POS into reinforced - we hired a merc group to scare them off while we pulled together a logi fleet.
But if you're hiring a merc group it might be just as plausible to blow up the aggressors instead to deter future attacks.
In case it wasn't obvious, you cannot repair a POCO or POS while it is in reinforced mode. |

Ah... I did not know that part.
As for hiring mercs...
1. Can you hire mercs individually or has to be a mercorp? 2. Can you hire mercs if you aren't at war, like you hire them in advance. 3. Can individuals hire mercs?

You can hire mercs any way you want, it's not really a formal game mechanic. Payments and delivery of service are not enforced by the game (so I could, if I wanted to, offer to defend your POS for an upfront payment of 500m ISK, then run off with the ISK and you'd have no recourse other than seeking revenge).
The only real criteria is that, if you are the defending party in a war, you will want to hire the mercs 4 hours in advance of the reinforce timer so they can join you as an ally to the war. (If you initiated the war, you'd want 24 hours so the mercs could wardec the enemies). That only really matters if you are in highsec. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=346564 - a proposal to overhaul the Logistics skill https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content. www.minerbumping.com - ganking miners and causing chaos |

Unless they do it for ***** and giggles, option 1 will be most likely the case. Personal channel: Crazy Dutch Guy
