Dont know anything abt POS ****, so could i Tank this long enough in an Abaddon to shoot some mods incapaciated ? And what about a neutral RR Alt? does he get aggro from POS guns wehen repping my Abaddon in combat with the POS ?

In short, no.
The guns would smoke your abaddon. If this is high-sec, then I'm not sure if the neutral rr alt would get hit by the guns too.
Even if you could tank them, it would take a rediculous amount of time to incap anything but the small's. To incap a small pulse battery you need to burn through 400,000 hp, not counting the minimal amount that the shields will regen of course.

Test the range of their medium guns, and go at it with a sniper fit. A tachyon sniper Apocalypse might be able to assault the POS from outside the range of the guns, in which case you don't need to worry much about tank. Granted, it will take hours, but stranger things have been accomplished.
I once destroyed a small POS solo. It took six hours, but I was logged in on my office computer, doing work, AFK, and my ship was an Amarr ship set up to run permanently.
An alternative tactic might be to use a monstrously-tanked ship and try to burn out all their ammunition. I have no idea how long that might take. You might be able to do it with an interceptor, if it's small enough to evade the guns (while double-webbed!), or alternatively with a command ship massively tanked against EM and Thermal. Once the ammo runs out, go in with your Abaddon and destroy whichever modules you like... obviously starting with the warp jammers.

They consume ammo, even T1 ammo. Did you not know that, or are you saying that the effect is very slow?

There are no long-range turrets (beam lasers in this case), so you can snipe the modules and/or the POS from outside turret range.
I wouldn't want to do it solo, as it would take a LONG time.

If Tau's calculations are correct, then, I'd suggest a sniper setup. Put EVE in windowed mode and just let your sniper ship run in the background while you pay your bills, play Farmville, or whatever it is people do these days.

Don't even bother. There are many better ways to terrorize people.

If yoou have nothing else to do with your time go ahead and solo it. Sniper as others have said would work. Just ignore the damn guns and shoot the POS. If you could get neutral RR and u RR the RR you could get a cap stable dps stable setup, also, sentry drones but @ sniper reange maybe not...

Okay, thanks. I might do this.
When I shoot a battery to incapaciated, does he have to rep the battery and unanchor it when he want to unanchor the tower too ?Or can he leave incapaciated mods and unanchor the tower straight ?

I wouldn't want to do it solo, as it would take a LONG time.
And what if he uses Radio crystals that increase the range by 60%? Does this bonus affect tower guns as well? I would think it does.

The can unanchor the batteies independent of the tower. Since you are planning on soloing then as long as you can tank it ignore the guns will only take longer to shoot them.
Other guy yes 60% bonus even on pulses will reach 100+ km, depending on bonuses it may hit out to 150+ but hitting that far will be very very weak.
Also to OP, if you are feeling lazy/bold just tank for EM/Therm on u and the neutral RR.

Range and tracking ammo bonuses/penalties do not apply to POS sentries.
In a POS sentry, only damage type (EM/therm/kin/exp) and amount is affected by the ammo.
See page 7 of POS Setups: Jump Bridge/Cyno Jam/Reactions, Moon Mine/Mining, Labs, WH for the test reports.

There was a story oh, about 3 years ago, where some alliance suicided rookie ships over and over against an enemy POS, until it ran out of ammo, so they could seige it without worrying about the guns. Sounds like fun, eh?
