What happens if the Resource Hub or Outpost are in reinforced (but not both), and the SBUs are taken below 51% coverage?
Does the Outpost or Hub automatically end reinforced and become invul again (and able to be repped), or do you have to wait out the reinforced timer before you can repair the Outpost/Hub?
I just have this vision of a sieging alliance reinforcing a Hub... offlining and onlining their SBUs to break reinforced on the hub, then shooting the hub.
Paranoid, I know.... But I can just see the "this is now classified as an Exploit" notification in my mind....

Just one question on SBU spamming: Is it possible (under current mechanics) for an alliance to place it's own (lets say an alt alliance or alliance created specially for that reason) SBUs, thus denying attackers to even anchor and online theirs? Like 33% alliance 1, 33% alliance 2 and 33% allaince 3. Neither will have 51% so system should be safe?
They stated that if 51% of the gates were disrupted, the outpost and iHub were vulnerable. They didn't indicate that ownership of the SBUs was important. In a 5-gate system, 3 different alliances could place an SBU on different gates and meet the "51% or more" requirement to disrupt sov.

two questions
1 can the hub and station be attacked at the same time?
2 if a HUB is attacked and put into reinforced mode this makes the SBUs invulnerable to being attacked?
1. If you have SBUs up on 51% of the gates, then the system becomes vulnerable. If you have two fleets and want to hit the iHub and Outpost/Station simultaneously, go right ahead... same as if you wanted to attack two POS simultaneously as SOV stands right now.
2. In order for a SBU to be invulnerable, ALL structures must be in reinforced. If the station is reinforced but the iHub isn't, then the SBUs are not-invul. If there is only an iHub (and no outpost) in the system, then yes... reinforcing the iHub will make the SBUs invulnerable.
