I'm assuming you would need to take out the guns first? We see "Small Artillery Battery". 12-18 of them. How far do they shoot, how hard can they hit, how much hp do they have? Next, we see this huge.. bubble like thing. It looks like a warp disrupter bubble, but I don't know if it is. Is it some type of forcefield?
If anyone could just give us some information on what these POS's consist of, and how one would kill them-- We would really love it :)
Some basic infos:
IF the POS is a deathstar, so basically has got loads aof guns, ECM, WEBS, SCRAMS and energy neuts on it, it's gonna be more then hard to impossible to take it out without capitals.
An Important part is also if the holding corp has got POS gunners (Players who can take control over the POS guns)
If they have got like 3 POS gunners, thats about 10 - 15 guns that can primary and switch targets directed.
Also it's important how the guns are spread around the POS, it's easier to take one out where the guns are all at one spot, if they're all around the POS it's gonna be hard -> So: If the POS has guns all spread around it, you have to go to one side, kill the stuff there, warp off, someone who is scrammed will stay behind and get killed, warp to another side, rinse repeat.
You'll need loads of Logistics, if the POS has got enough ECM on it and POS gunners, you're logis are going to have a really hard time, keeping anything alive.
Also if the POS has got Strontium in it, you will take the POS shields down to 25% and then you have to wait 1 - 24 hrs (depends on the amount of Strontium) until you can finish it of. IF you have got bad luck and someone cares, they'll try to rep up the MODS in this time and you'll have to start from scratch.
to the point of Time:
It took us 5 hrs wo take down a Medium Faction POS out with 9 stealth bombers (no defense)
TLDR: POS takedown is not woth it until you know what's in it to loot later on, or if it has got bad defenses, so you can teach someone a lesson.
