I did want to say one last thing on the matter, While I was arguing for what makes the most sense to me, it seems others arguing act as if this is real and they know mama.
The reality is its not and none of us are right 100%. We are looking for what makes the most sense in a theoretical situation.
[I am doing it in an unbiased manner]
Believe it or not your space ship and pos are a video game not reality nor I or anyone can prove there comments 100% too fact because the said items and systems do not exist in reality.
Further on that I think its far less important to the game developer what makes sense than what people like eve is business and I respect that.
To the s****of eve, who make everything a personal attack on these forums
Yes I knew it was coming OMG question the mechanics or the theories of eve how dare you idiot HERTICàBLASPHMOYà question our theoretical spaceship game mechanicsà YOU WILL BE FLAMED!!!
I will say in my 4 years I stand by my comments
"best game worst player base ever"
Okay, let's try looking at it this way (WARNING: Newb player who's just done research on POS comments incoming):
A POS has two power-supplies. One is a capacitor very similar to what fuels your ship that's shooting at the POS. This capacitor by some unexplained process (though I'm sure there's Lore based around it. Fusion reactor or something similar) can indefinitely generate energy, you just expend it faster than it generates depending on what modules are activated on the ship. But regardless of the capacitor level of your ship (or the station), you're always able to regenerate and keep active your shielding.
A second runs on a special mixture of fuel to generate an extremely powerful "Bubble Shield" that requires an incredible amount of firepower to down. When scanning a POS, it's "Online" or "Offline" mode refers to this particular power-supply. When it's out of fuel, the Bubble Shield fails, along with every other system that isn't run on the basic capacitor.
So an Offline POS works just like every other ship you shoot at. Because it still has that basic capacitor, things still work to an extent (life-support, or a basic shielding system just like your ship).
Does that make more sense?
