Like the title asks: How long does it take to unanchor, disassemble, and stow (ie. in a station) a POS?
Or basically: If a small corp gets wardecced, what's to keep them from taking down their high sec POSes within the 24 hr wardec period?

It depends how many POS mods you have at the POS.
I use a large dread guristas tower and the un-anchoring delay on the tower alone is 96 minutes then there's all the mods so it can take a few hours. Also the POS mods can only be anchored/un-anchored one at a time so no short cuts here. -

So... if you have a few hours, taking it down shouldn't really be a problem though? I mean there's no game mechanic specifically stopping you from doing it? Ty.
EDIT: Yeah, for a DG med tower with 6 labs, couple hours tops. Nice...

No mechanics whatsoever stop a corp from taking down there POS(s) completely when they get a wardec. --

The best mechanic is to hope they DO do this, and sit a short distance away from it cloaked in a blockade runner as it un-anchors. With a large tower you get a visible 2 hour timer as this happens (1hr for med, 30m for small), so if you warp to it right as it finishes you can simply scoop their tower, which is a lot easier than shooting it.
By the way, taking down a POS is by far the worst possible activity you can experience in this game, slightly worse than putting one up.
So if you're into griefing, having someone take down their POS and then taking it from them would have to rate up there on shitty things you can do to a person Bonus points if you kill their capital ship they had waiting to scoop it too

Wait until he clicks un-anchor, then wait 2 more hours, then bump him off. :p If the war hasn't gone live yet there will be no recourse once you scoop it ;)

Sounds to me like that is griefing and you would be able to report it to a GM.

Edited by: Haughty Gal on 22/09/2008 18:44:52 Yeah that'll work if you're dumb enough to do it while your aggressors are in-system If they're wardeccing FOR the POS, better off with mercs. :/
