There is a moon i like to use to anchor a Tower at, but there is an offline Small Amarr Tower already anchored.
It belongs to an one-man Corp. and i was wondering if he doesn't respond to my email asking if i can purchase the spot from him, can i war-dec him and blow the Tower away with a 1k DPS BS?
How long will it take killing the Tower? I calculate 1 hour 15mins? Is that correct?
Can i pay a Merc Corp to do it? How much would it cost?
Thank in advance for your replays.

Yes you can war deck him and then attack the pos in high sec. By yourself it will take you a very long time to kill it. The one man corp guy might even come defend it although its probably unlikely. Other people could come jack with you by coming to rep the pos making it that much more difficult.
If you choose to attack it i would suggest you bring your highest dps battleship and park on the tower. Torpedo ravens work well for high sec pos bashing but since the tower is offline it has no shields on so you can use virtually anything to hit it with since you can be at zero on the tower. Blaster mega or something similar would be able to do some serious damage to it as well.
realistically, tho you would probably be better off just finding another moon that doesnt have a tower on it but whatever.

Yes, you will be able to take out a small POS with a single BS. Your math on how long it would take is probably right as long as your battleship does EM or Thermal damage(the 0% resists of an Amarr Control Tower) You could probably pay a merc corp to do it, but given how relatively risk-free something like this is, it's probably not worth it. I recommend taking an Amarr BS(EM/Therm damage and no reload), park it at the POS, start shooting and just go watch a movie or something.

large non faction caldari at peak recharge eats 600 dps IIRC. small is like 1/3 that I think.

It won't recharge, its offline. I think that it will retain the damage, even if you leave halfway through and come back at a later time.
Wardecs cost 50 million and up for alliances, depending on how many they are active in . Corp to corp is 2 million for the dec .

A small min tower has:
1.5 million armor
1.5 million structure (with 99% resists)
Linky: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Minmatar_Control_Tower_Small
At 1000DPS you're looking at 1500s to take the armor out (25 mins approx).
At 1000DPS which is 99% resisted you're down to 10DPS. That's about what, 42 hours of non-stop shooting to take it out?
And that doesn't include shields if the owner decides to activate them.
Alternative idea - hire a mercenary corp to wardec the 1 man corp for the sole intent of taking out the tower. Or do you seriously want to just sit there for 1.5 days while your BS pew pews away and you have to constantly hit the F keys after reloading?

Offline control tower shields DO recharge.
Trust me. Worked on a small Amarr with a Drake for a very long time (more than one day).

the shield will recharge pls remember that the pos shield and force field are totally differen things. takeing down a small pos with 2 bs took me around 8 hours so maybe 16 for you. definately something u need to dedicate a day to. unless you no for sure the person is gone then if u have amarr bs u could shoot the pos all day afk since ammar t1 crystals dont break

Originally by: Crista Feraton 1.5 million structure (with 99% resists)
The 99% resists only applies to anchored modules while the POS is online. The tower's hull and armor have no resistances.
Originally by: Crista Feraton And that doesn't include shields if the owner decides to activate them.
The tower's shield is not the same as its forcefield. Even offlined towers have shields.
Basically, a small minmatar tower has: 11.25 million shield (50% em, 25% thermal) 1.5 million armor 1.5 million structure = 14.25 million hp if you're doing kinetic/explosive damage.
14.25 million hp / 1000 dps = 4 hours (disregarding the shield recharge)

This looks about right. Even offline, a POS is a pain in the ass to take down in high-sec. You can do it solo but you're better off grabbing a few people who can fly torp ravens into your corp and then just have them leave when the POS goes down. Even if you had to pay it'd probably be cheaper than hiring mercs to do it for you. |
