I've had people ask me about POS's in WormHoles.
I've come up with lasers as you don't want to have to carry a lot of ammo inside. I use a large as this will stop almost anyone from attacking your POS. Use a factional version to get the lowest fuel usage. ECM is to break lock for the RR BS fleets. And some offline large guns just in case a Dread shows up. You could use a medium and down size battery numbers
Worm Hole Lazer Death Star
Amarr Large Control Tower
Drug Lab (Online) Biochemical Reactor Array (Online) Biochemical Silo (Online) Component Assembly Array (Online) Corporate Hangar Array (Online) 2x Energy Neutralizing Battery (Online) Heat Dissipation Array (Online) Photon Scattering Array (Online) 3x Ion Field Projection Battery (Online) 3x Phase Inversion Battery (Online) 3x Spatial Destabilization Battery (Online) 3x White Noise Generation Battery (Online) 3x Large Beam Laser Battery (Offline) 10x Medium Beam Laser Battery (Online) 4x Medium Beam Laser Battery (Offline) 4x Medium Pulse Laser Battery (Online) 2x Stasis Webification Battery (Online) 2x Warp Scrambling Battery (Online) 1x Warp Scrambling Battery (Offline)
EDIT: Oh and I'm not into gas harvesting so if those mods are not correct get the right ones.

Fitz, any chance you have all this incredible info in a PDF somewhere? If not, I'd be willing to build one. There's so much great info in here for someone considering their first station that being on one physical document (without the added html stuff on these pages) would be as valuable as Halada's Guide!!

for one Gasreaction you need:
2x Biochemical Silo (Gas) 1x Hybrid Polymer Silo (Polymers) 1x Silo (Mins) 1x Polymer Reaction Array
we're running two reactions with a gallente tower for silo bonus (and an amarr tower wont have nuff cpu)

Intresting. Thanks for setup
But yes you can run two using an Amarr Tower. (See below) You just would have to have everything else offline. No you wouldn't have the silo bonus's so you would have to empty more often. More then likely one would just run one reaction and the setup would work... just have more offline.

Hi there,
I would like to setup a small high-sec pos to be used for researching BPOs and also for manufacturing battleships. Is there a viable setup?
I'm not too worried about wardecs but some form of basic defence would be good.
I basically want a low cost pos for research and bs production.
Thanks for any info, Aerok

On the first page there are setups for high sec pos's. They deal with research only... so if you put up array to make ships you will loose some initial firepower. You might want to look at a medium POS.
Use my suggestions (and others mentioned) along with the program MY POS and come up with best load outs.

For what it is worth, I just bought a Domination large to replace a Dread Guristas medium, as I just didn't feel comfortable with the defensive capabilities of the DG medium, which in my opinion really requires one to pack it up if wardec'd.
Call me extremely paranoid, but I really didn't want to have to go through the cycle of removing everyone from the corp, waiting a week, placing the tower again, and getting everyone back in the corp again, after a random wardec.
I compared a Domination and a True Sansha / Dark Blood large, as they are the most defensible: - Domination has 50% less silo space (I don't use silos) - Domination has 625,000 MW less grid (= 4 less guns) + Domination has 500 TF more CPU (= one more mobile lab) + Domination has 6,000,000 more shield (= 12.5% more) Even though I produce Helium isotopes and will have to trade them for Hydrogen, the Domination gets my vote mainly because of more shield.
The cyno-jammer deathstar setup, minus the jammer, is what I'm aiming for when not researching.
Thanks Fitz for a great thread!

I don't really expect many wardecs and since this is kind of my own one-man corp I don't think I could make anything more than a small POS profitable atm. Guess it's probably not viable then to have one POS for both research and BS manufacturing.

I've come up with lasers as you don't want to have to carry a lot of ammo inside.
Might want to add that lasers are quite expensive to maintain if you move the tower around from wormhole to wormhole frequently, as everytime the laser is un-anchored, the crystal is destroyed. One cannot remove the crystal without destroying it either.

Take a look at the description of any laser battery:
"Placing a new type of crystal into the crystal compartment will result in the destruction of the crystal being replaced."
My corp has a wh POS that is about to be moved for the third time, and destroying the active crystal is becoming an expensive annoyance. The non-active crystals can be removed.
Feel free to test it youself. If you can find a way around it, we'd love to know what we are doing wrong.

The pos setups posted look extreemly good... and I would really appreciate your advice on a setup for a pos that wants to defend a capital construction array while the supercap is being built and either had the cap maint array not deployed or offline until needed... for the benefit of the excercise please assume that the system is not sov4 & that the pos will want to buy time for a support fleet to assemble & arrive.

There really are many variables to take into account. Do you have Sov 3 or higher. Probably you would want factional everything to give you the best setup possible.
I would suggest loading the below program and using it. Forget any type of missles and keep in mind the basic ideas already given.

I can confirm that destruction of the loaded crystal does occur if you try to remove it.
I just put up a POS recently with lazers in a WH and one of the guys put up a battery not quite to my liking. I could remove the unused crystal ready to be loaded but for the one in the chamber it said it would be destroyed if I removed it. Since it was a Factional Crystal... I left it there.

Reports from testers on Sisi indicate:
* Ammunition affects battery range. * Battery range is measured from the tower. * Distance shown on controlled batteries is from the battery, not the tower (which is misleading).
Note that some towers have bonused sentries, which allows the use of harder hitting shorter range ammo. For example, Minmatar-family towers have silly long effective range, and artillery batteries also have an activation proximity further than other batteries.

Great ! Thats the post i was waiting for. Thanks.
One thing though. How about tracking ? Measured from tower or guns?.

When You DonÆt Have A Large Fleet Or How To Kill Ships With Just A Few Guys
Depending on how large a group you can get together will depend on how much you can hurt the attackers. If you can put together a 6-8 man BS fleet it is possible to totally wipe out their fleet. You need to be able to warp jam their ships or they will fly off when you target them. (I know by personal experience)
Here Is How To Kill An Enemy Fleet You need "throwaway" T1 tanking BS's with smart bombs. (Rohks are great as you can have 8 SBs) You do not need to shoot anything with your ships: That is what your POS guns will do.
Many times to take out POS's the enemy fleet will bring Remote Repping BS's. They will rotate close to each other around one æanchorÆ ship. You can use this to your advantage if you have 5-7 ships. If they have been coming around & you know they fly a lot of a certain faction then you setup your BSÆs with SBs to hit where their resists are weakest. If they fly mostly PvP ships you will hit them in armor & usually thermal. (Yes explosive & kinetic is less but they will tank for that) If they are bring torp ravens then pick kinetic. You setup tanking BS's that are tanking that same resist that you are attacking. (as all your ship SBs will be hitting your ships too) So you get your fleet of BS's off at a safe spot. Have them all align to POS. (Yes moving toward POS) The FC/SC will have finger ready to warp fleet to cloaked ship. Someone at the POS watches the enemy fleet. He waits till the enemy ships start rotating around each other. You get one T1 cloaking guy close to their fleet. What he is going to do is MW drive into the middle of this swirling fleet. So, just before your cloaked ship is uncloaked, he MWDs into middle of enemy fleet & tell BSÆs to warp to him when he does. Once your fleet arrives they start SBÆs. (The enemy drones will insta pop) Your BS's should be able to get 6-7 smart bombing cycles before they start to die.
Your BSÆs target & warp jam ships. Have arty start killing what they can. Have a group of 5 guns target one jammed ship & have another group hit a 2nd jammed one. It will require some coordination between ships & gunners but you should melt ships quickly. There is a very good chance that you will kill most of their ships. This has been used effectively against HAC fleets where 3-4 SBÆing ships have totally wiped out a 70-90 man fleet. The concept will work with BS's too if you have enough DPS in the SBÆs. Those who are good at math can run the numbers to see how many SB BS's you would really need. I am guessing 6-8.
What if you only have 5-8 guys & most of them are manning the guns?
Again setup a really good tanking SBÆing BS. (In fact make 4-6 of them & have them floating inside your POS)
You have your BS guy off at a safe spot & moving towards the tower. You will still need a cloaking ship to get close to their BS's. He called out for your BS to warp to your cloaked ship (move it out of way so it lives).
Once ship lands it jams one enemy ship. Your guns on tower target that ship & kill it. If your ship is still alive, it jam another: guns kill that ship. Keep going till your BS dies. The other thing that BS does is to wait about 10-15 seconds till all drones are attacking the ship then lights off all smart bombs & kill the drones. :o)
When the BS diesà the BS guy has selected a planet to warp to & clicks the insta warp button at the top of the overview screen. (I know most people just ignore those). The guy flys to moon, then fly back to POS to pick up another BS. He goes back to SS & keep doing this, killing their ships one or two off.
Yes it will be a war of attrition. (Insure all BSÆs) Make your kills count. Make them pay for coming to kill your tower. And have fun doing it!!

(I decided to add this here to keep my thread up to date)
================================= Here is what I would put up after having gone through some High Sec POS fights with the Goons:
Below is what is online before being attacked but after the Wardec. And if really attacked to offline labs and online the other batteries. This would allow you to still have some labs working most of the time. Course if you really want you could just offline and unanchor labs during wardec's. If no wardec's just have all batteries offline. (And of course you could have more labs running)
Large Amarr Control Tower
2x Advanced Mobile Laboratory (Online) 2x Mobile Laboratory (Online)
Ballistic Deflection Array (Online) Explosion Dampening Array (Online)
10x Ion Field Projection Battery (Online) 10x Phase Inversion Battery (Online) 10x Spatial Destabilization Battery (Online) 20x White Noise Generation Battery (Online)
10x Medium Artillery Battery (Online) 4x Medium AutoCannon Battery (Online)
2x Warp Disruption Battery (Online) 4x Warp Scrambling Battery (Online)
---------------------------------------------- CPU Usage: 5500 / 5500 (100.00%) PG Usage: 4905000 / 5000000 (98.10%) ---------------------------------------------- Fitting generated using My POS by Cassandra's Light.
Again this is just what is online. You need many more offline but ready to go.
If Under Attack Here Is What Is Online:
Ballistic Deflection Array (Online) Explosion Dampening Array (Online)
12x Ion Field Projection Battery (Online) 13x Phase Inversion Battery (Online) 12x Spatial Destabilization Battery (Online) 20x White Noise Generation Battery (Online) 12x Medium Artillery Battery (Online) 4x Medium AutoCannon Battery (Online)

I added this:
Auto Arty: Why Is It Better Then Normal Arty?
Most attacks on POS's are at very close range and attacking your warp scrambler. Because auto arty is good for up to 70k I put them very close to the Warp jammers to make sure I can hit them good and hard.
In my tests I was hitting using the auto's with between 1,500 to 2,500 per hit. Normal arty hits with around 500-600 damage. If you have two of the auto arty hitting a ship along with 10 normal arty's you will take them down in short order.
Yes you still need normal arty as it hits out to 350km or more. If you don't have some they will bring sniping BS's and you won't hit them at all. I usually have a mix of 3 normal arty to 1 auto arty.

After the Goons killed off my medium POS in Jatate I decided to put up my version of a "Death Star" in high sec. Below are some pics of what I did. If you want to see what it looks like in game come to Jatate IV-4.
I have the batteries spread out a lot so they can't just bring smartbombing BS's and take out most of your stuff. The bottom and top have the Warp Scramblers with the autobatteries next to them. The sides have the long range arty on them with many ecm arrays.
I do want to mention that any POS can be killed if people bring enough ships to kill it. All you are trying to do is make it really hard to kill that it would take too much time an effort to take it down.

Fitz, I must say that this is one of the most helpful threads on this board and I managed to get allot of information regarding POS setup.
I still have a question that remained unanswered in all 5 pages. If I run a 2 man corporation and I want to setup a research POS for my BPO's, what would be the best non faction fitting that wont leave me bankrupted and would also keep unwanted guests away from it? I'm planing to place it in .6 system. You stated allot of setups, but none are if I may say so low-cost setups which still give you enough security, so that a 30-50 man corp can't bring it down. Is that even possible to run? with only to people in a corp?

Not really.
With only 2 pos gunners you might kill a few ships but if 30-50 BS's attack your POS it is going to go down.
Your best bet:
If all you need is 2-3 labs then put up a small caldari and login each day. If you are wardec'd just offline and take down all your labs till wardec is over. If all you have is an empty POS when war dec starts they probably won't kill the tower. If they do it is only 100m to replace.

You don't need to worry about battleships.. so no need for medium arty. You could go with all ECM and they would never be able to target your towers to shoot. But that is no fun as you can't kill them. So I added in arty to the mix. You should have some extras anchored but offline of each.
