POS guns of deathstar will melt you.
Wardecced corp will blob you and kill you several times.
You wonŠt be able to mission as long as war goes on.
You get broke.

My brother was once a member of a corp that dabbled heavily in empire research POS takedowns for a while. It didn't pay too well, and it wasn't very fun. But it's doable... if you pick your targets right. _

It's absolutely possible and pretty easy. I did this experiment once to prove the feasibility: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1120647
Profit was 2 or 3 labs, I can't remember now, and I was able to do the deed AFK while working at the office. The trick is to use an Amarr battleship designed to perma-run its capacitor, and to pick easy targets without lots of ECM.

I would advise to be very very careful with target selection.
You may end up declaring war on someones alt and find yourself dealing with people who could squash you like a bug. Also many industrialist while having minimal pvp skills have very deep wallets. If you annoy them enough then can afford expensive hired help.

Which is going to do... what, exactly? Destroy his cheap, platinum-insured Armageddon and set him back a few million ISK against the billion or so he earns in a week of stealing labs?

First of all, high-sec POSes aren't really tied to their moon like low sec or null-sec POSes where the moon may be valuable, so the wardec target may remove their POS and leave/wait for you to get bored.
Second, they could harden up their POS with guns and shield resistances, and you're limited to bringing battleships (no bigger), which means that the POS guns can do serious damage (especially if they have several POS gunners to focus fire). If you try to solo the POS, even without POS gunners all the guns will shoot at you, and it's pretty hard to tank that kind of damage.
They can jump to an alliance too, but likely if they see that you're a 1-man corp they'll just laugh at you and arm up their POS.
I would guess that people don't like to pay extortion fees because once you take your money and leave, there's no guarantee that the next POS griefer in line won't declare war on them too. It's not like in RL where you're on someone's turf and they prevent rivals from operating there. So I doubt you'll make money from it.
If you want ISK out of pew-pew, get together with a few friends and suicide-gank at gates. |

I'm wondering if this will work or would i need more member in my corp besides me? Would the pos guns beat me down? would the corp jump to an alliance and if they did would I have to fight the whole alliance?
Just trying to make some isk out of pew pew.
People like you make me sick you griefer. don't attack high-sec corps, only newbs do that.

All of this is possible, but remember they only have 24 hours advance warning, and often these are one-man corporations (even if they have 5 or 10 members, those could be alts, or idle). So often the owner doesn't even notice in time, or if he does, doesn't have a plan for what to do.
In the case of the POS I destroyed (link above), they didn't seem to notice until I was on the second attack, finishing off the POS as it came out of reinforcement, and all I got was a visit from a Drake who ran away as soon as he saw a battleship. There was no fighting.
In practice, if you wanted to make a career out of this, you'd wardec 2 or 3 corporations at once, so that if one took his POS down and another added guns (and ECM, which are the worst!), there'd still be once you could pop.

Yes you can earn isk like that. I did exactly that a few times and sometimes it really works.
Always stay polite and keep a professional tone. We are buisnessman and not some pirate scum.
