Hello, i have a Small POS tower that i am using to learn the mechanics but i cant use a refinning array because of CPU requeriments... The question is: What happens to my ongoing jobs if i change my Small Tower for one Medium or Large? |

AFAIK You need to cancel all jobs, empty and unanchor all arrays and labs and such before unanchoring the tower and after the tower and other stuff is totally unanchored, put up new tower and add the labs etc back. However you can just keep the refining array offline most times, and just online it to do the refining while offlining labs for that brief time which will pause the jobs. |

No. It pauses until the lab is brought back online

Offline lab or array = Jobs are paused. Nothing is lost.
Unanchor lab or array = Jobs are cancelled. All materials are lost. BPOs return to the lab / array; repackage to get the BPOs, or re-anchor.

There is plenty of CPU in a small POS to run a refining array. You are just using to much of it.
As someone else mentioned, you can anchor the refining array and leave it off line.
When you need to use the refining array, offline enough labs to get CPU to online the refining array, do your refining, then off line the array, and turn labs back on.
Jobs in the labs will not be lost only paused. Since you should only need them off for a few minutes, you will not really lose anything. It is a little more work, but upgrading is a lot of work, and double the fuel costs.
Steping up to a larger POS you need to complete, or cancel all jobs in all arrays at that POS. Then remove all items out of all arrays. Then offline and unanchor all arrays. Scoop them to cargo. Then offline and take down the control tower. the control tower can not be unanchored if there are any POS modules anchored near it. Likewise a new POS can not be anchored beside any other structure that is anchored.
As you can see, although a PITA, switching arrays on and off as needed can save a lot of other work.
Besides I read somewhere POSes are on the chopping block for a rework really soon. What I hear is they are going to eliminate the small/medium/large towers and have a single generic structure, which you will add modules to that affect attributes like CPU, PG, etc. As far as I know the details are not decided yet, but from what I understand it is going to be an extreme change compared to how POSes work now. |
