If you don't have large turrets mounted, your POS can be taken down. We almost learned this the hard way...
Turrets cycle targets, so with enough attackers, you MSUT be able to kill a BS in 1 volley, or they can take you out.
hmm, ours did 2 volleys to the same target and it was doomed. a changingcycle of 1 shot is hard.
so, what was the dimension of that attackgroup ? 40, 50, 70, 100 BS ??? it must be a great planed operation to keep that masses oonline in a single attack. for a ravenfleet u would need haulersupport and turning attacksqauds to redeploy the ammo, same for hybrid and projectil i think.
I can't remember exactly what we had online when they began the attack, but it was something like 7 small hybrid turets and 3 medium hybrid turrets, on paper that is more than enough to roast a BS, but in practice it doesn't cut it if they tank kinetic and thermal and have like 20+ bs's. I think the attacking force varied between 30 and 100 bs's over about a 10 hour period...yeah people don't like us.
I was the one who tested out sniggs defenses. They had 6 small rails and 3 medium rails on a caldari tower. The damage was good...about 1,100 from the medium on my shields. But in a dom that has 75% resistence to KIN and Thermal, and can run 2 large named armor reps non stop it was surprisingly easy to tank. Especially when more people warped in and the guns started to cycle. I would get hit by 1 or 2 guns for 2 volleys then they would switch. Also the use of drones worked well as the guns fired on them and took some heat off the BS. We still lost some BS but that was due to the insane ammount of lag caused by the force feild graphics. They didnt even know they were being shot till someone told them on TS they were dead. We were about 2 min away from taking down the shields but snigg somehow got through our warp bubbles on the other side of the gate. Here is a screen I took when we started it out and were kindof just testing to see if it was possible.
