Hey guys, not sure if this is the best place for this, but if I'm going to setup a manfacturing/research POS in highsec, is there any reason I would want more than one, if everything I want fits on a single pos (can online defenses if wardecced).
We'll have multiple corp members using it, but like... I can't seem to come up with a reason to have more than one now that slots are unlimited. Or am I misunderstanding? |

If you can do it in one, it is cheaper.
If you need several different types of ship arrays, or different types of labs, you may need more than one. |

It's possible to anchor and online almost all arrays and laboratories you need. If you want to play around with configurations, use this tool: http://eve.1019.net/. And if you decide to go for a large tower, anchor defenses in case you expect to get wardecs and don't log in every day. |

One reason to separate your POS functions to multiple:
Each POS lost is a reduced percentage of the total. If you spread things around, you lose less when you lose one.
That may, or may not, be a suitable reason to split them.
Woo! CSM X!

You don't need multiple POSes unless you want POS services near multiple market hubs. Only in 0.0 there is a real reason for more then one POS. |

An interesting perspective I had not considered.
Thanks for all the replies everyone. |

A few thoughts:
* Having two pos's means that you won't have to constantly online/offline structures which also means that you're more likely to be ready for wardecs or not lose lengthy jobs in labs/assembly arrays that you have to offline when a wardec starts. * Having two pos's in the same system allows you to quickly take down one of them and move its modules to the other (very useful when upgrading from a medium tower to a large). * Having two pos's is almost required when doing extensive industry with cpu/power intensive modules (moon reaction arrays in lowsec can have quite harsh requirements). * Having two pos's can help provide additional personal hanger space for larger corps if you divide up half the corp to one pos, and the other half to the other. * If you are in a wormhole, you might want to make it harder for attackers to camp your pos...if one of your pos's gets bubbled, the other might still be useable. |
