Shoot the POS, it goes into reinforced. Notice the timer? When it comes out of reinforced, shoot it some more and explode it.

No, trust me... when you have to tear down 10-15 POS's in a single solar system, then bounce to the next one and do it again, it sucks. Hi Sec POS smashing is a little better... . slower, because theyre arent any Dreads / Carriers in support, but then you dont have to deal with the logistics bull**** and 20 pilots hugging their special ships and screaming loggoffski when local rises above +2 either.
Butthe basics are you warp in a fleet thats prepared to take damage / losses. Destroy the tackiling mdoule batteries first. Ie warp disrptor / scramblers. Get the webbers. Drop e-war if neccisary. Then pick off gun / weapon modules.
Shot the pos for what feels like 3 hours of your life that cant get back. Reinforce it .Come back when thats over, engage defending fleet until they die / leave / hide in shields.
Finish off POS.
Thats it in a nut shell and it sucks.

Train Anchoring and Starbase Defense Management to V. That will unlock the Mobile POS skill. Train that to level I.
Then, move your POS close to their POS, take control of your POS guns and focus fire on the defenses. It takes much less time than using a fleet of battleships. Just be aware that the Mobile POS skill does not allow you to jump a POS through a bridge, cyno field or gate.
Therefore the target POS must be in the same system and hopefully close. Although you can fit a 1000mn MWD to the POS tower, it still takes forever to move that sucker.

Shoot the pos until it goes reinforced, then return when it comes out of reinforced mode and shoot it until it dies. Really fun and exciting, isn't it?

*cough Ok, seriously now...
POS Killing: - A medium POS uses Strontium Clathrates at 200/hr. A full bay will give about 2 days of reinforced. Nothing you can do. The POS goes into Reinforced at 25% shields. Stront levels can be adjusted by the POS owner up to the point where 50% of the Stront has been used. - Take an inventory of the POS in a recon ship. Record guns, defenses, arrays, etc. - Research the range and damage of the guns, some can reach 250K - Defenses range from dampeners to warp scramblers to race and ammo specific counters - Take out the POS countermeasures first and then the guns - The POS guns will cycle from target to target unless manned. If the guns are manned, you will have a MUCH tougher time taking it down - For a med POS with average defences, figure about 2 hrs with 5 battleships to get it into reinforced. Check the POS type and load the correct ammo based on what's is weakest against. Torp ravens are your best bet but the range is bad. Use other fits to take out the guns and defences b4 bringing in the Torp Boats. - Make sure your ships can hit the POS from the edge of the shield. A large tower can put shields out to 26KM. Beyond the range of a normally fitted Torp Raven with a normally skilled pilot. - Come back when the POS is out of reinforced but scout the area first to see what the enemy may have done while you were away. - It's pretty important to block their supply routes.

This. Unless your one of those fat guys in their moms basement, with potato chips all over his greasy brown t-shirt. Then this alone should be what you do all day, while smacking in local.

POS warfare can be fun at times.
1. Your group of ships destroys the POS defenses and brings shields down to force the POS into reinforce mode. Can sometimes take a long time.
2. You wait til the timer has run out, during that time, the POS can not be refueled and they cant bring back up more defenses.
3. You return to the POS when its out of reinforced mode and usually greeted with a group of POS defenders. Reinforced allowed the owner of the POS to defend it.
4. Destroy the enemy defenders and then the long long attack of bringing down the POS completely.
