When a tower's shields are offline, it should not have shields.

The bubble is not a shield, it's a forcefield.

True
An offline POS has shields, armor, and hull.
An online POS has shields, armor, hull, and a forcefield.
Next time know what you are talking about before you post.

He never said that he thought the forcefield was the shield.. A shield is a large amount of a POS's EHP, getting rid of it on offlining would make it easier to destroy. It's also a layer of health that, if we were to get lore-ish, probably depends on some sort of generator to keep it up. A generator that needs power. That it doesn't have. -

Read his post again.

It's pretty obvious he's talking about the forcefield being down. If you wanna go lore, then an "offline" tower don't have the power to maintain a forcefield and modules, but it has enough solar panels and whatever to maintain its shield for self defense.
If you have a gameplay reason to make POS shields go to 0% when the tower is offline, fair enough, list it, but otherwise this is pointless.

Nah, I'd like to see it where if a POS is offline for a period of time, be it 30 or 90 days or whatever, then anyone can unanchor it.

Not everyone owns a supercap fleet purely for pos bashing like your alliance does.

If you need a Super Cap fleet to take down an offline POS, then you are doing it wrong.

You don't need anything more than a stealth bomber to take down an offline POS. It's taking it down in a timely manner that's the issue, and offline POSes, which mainly are just **** clogging up moons leftover by someone who will never come back, are not fun to shoot at for a few hours. They should be easy to remove. -

its easy really, if CCP reduces the shield by 90% but give it a 10x shield bonus while online.
Problem solved, and offline towers would be easier targets.
However, I prefer the decay discussion in other threads where unattended towers get unachored after a certain amount of time. ---

Really? Are you that friggin' lazy to get 30 dudes in BS's to drop an un-armed, off line POS?

You don't even need 30 guys, *one* will do just fine - get an alt in a cap-stable amarr BS with t1 crystals. Problem solved.
