I have trained an alt as a pos gunner so I went onto SISI and anchored a nice large POS added a few Med arties, sent my main in at 150km in a tanked BS. had my alt take control of 3 arties, and found that I cannot tartget the BS as it says I cannot target it while inside the shields. I thought thats a bit odd, so I headed out the shield, targeted and could not gain control of the pos guns as I have to be within 15km of the tower, Went back into shields and as I expected instantly lost my lock.
I thought about this for a little and saw that with the alts skill that his ship has just a 46km targeting range, but this cannot be the reason why I cannot lock surely?
So how do I target at the pos guns range of 300km?

Yes it is. The range you can lock with POS guns is the range you can lock from the ship you are flying. Another downside is that you can't use active modules to boost your range, so SEBOs are out, signal amplifiers are the way to go.

Are any of you POS gunners? You have to go into right click "Manage" option, go to strucures tab, then control tab. Left click on the wepon you want to control, then hit the button at the bottom of the box that says "Assume Control" At that point your over view will change at the bottom showing the weapons you control.
You can then target several ways, but I usually left click on the weapon "module" box at the bottom of the screen and then left click on my target (either in space or in the overview.)
The type of ship you are in has no bearing on the range. I've targeted hostiles with large beams at 400km and hit while in a frigate.
So, get next to the tower, manage, assume control, left click weapon, left click target, wait for lock, left click weapon to fire. Boom!

Edited by: Daveion Steel on 20/03/2009 12:20:50 Thanks very much Shad, that worked a treat, I was taking control of the guns but was trying to target as if I was targeting from my ship.
All sorted now, works well and I am pleased.
