I am sitting here on the test server, and not knowing anything about outposts, conquerable stations and the like,....
Decided to take a ride down to one in a BS... I can target it and shoot at it all day... never registers a hit, no sovereignty, etc......
So, do you need sovereignty to conquer one? How does it work on the REAL server? Searched the forums and cant find anything about it, really.
I was hoping to learn (and test) some stuff. It is probably bugged :)

Here's how it works. Alliance #1 has 1 POS anchored in a system and possession of the conq station. Because of Alliance#1's sovereignty claim the station shields are invulnerable. Alliance #2 puts 2 POS in that system. After their POSs has been anchored for 5 days their sovereignty claim outweighs that of alliance1, and the station shields become vulnerable. At this point Alliance #2 will attack the station and bring it's shields to 0, and the station will change hands.

Well, there is no sovereignty in the system we were shooting at this conquerable station.
We shot at it for like 20 minutes despite there being absoluetely no acknowledgement that we were shooting it.
So, I am wondering if it was perhaps bugged or you do not see any hits registered or something.
Never saw any shields dropping, either. Got me...

You *must* have sovereignty to be able to take control of a Conq Station. Period. Otherwise it's invulnerable to attack.

You guys don't get it I am saying 'conquerable' This *automatically excludes* anything NPC.
If you need sovereignty then fine, that is the answer. I will hop on the test server later and throw up a POS (YUCK!)

You don't need sovereignty.
If noone has sovereignty in the system then anyone can attack and take the station.
However, hopping into one bs and shooting it will not get it to be yours this side of christmas, you need a fairly large gang to make an impression on a station.
If a fairly large gang doesn't do any good either then it's bugged, as conquerable stations seem to be all the **** time lately.
edit: btw, I see responses from 4 different territorial alliances in this thread of which not a single one is correct about how sovereignty works

Rod's answer is the right one, but you should be registering hits on the station, even though it will take ages to get the shield down. I would say it's bugged if you are getting no damage messages. -------------------------------------------------

No NPC stations are not conquerable, there are a number of conquerable stations in EVE and they do look like NPC stations but they are in 0.0 and have no sentry guns around them. ---

AHA! Thanks Rod! I honestly thought you had to have sovereignty... having never run across a conq station that doesn't have sovereignty already I wasn't aware you didn't need it if nobody had sovereignty.
