I'd call it a FAQ but half of this you prolly wont think to ask  .
Firstly a big thanx to CCP for assisting me and making this possible on Sisi.
I'm in the middle of creating a step by step walkthrough for my site in my sig below, but I'm away now for 3 days so it wont get done until later in the week. So have a snippet of what I've learnt but take into account that some of the things listed below are classed as possible bugs and will most likely be changed in the near future.
Here goes
Q. Where can I build my Outpost?
A. Only at the warp in point of a planet and only in a sector which you have sovereignty over.
Q. Can I get sovereignty over any sector?
A. No, there are 2 things to look at here, firstly the map stars can be coloured by sovereignty, however, for some strange reason it's not colouring all the claimed systems. The only sure way to tell is to go to the system and if it's not claimed then the sovereign will not be listed in the top left corner under the sector name.
Q. How do I claim sovereignty?
A. Already been covered, you need to contruct and keep powered at least 1 POS. Only 1 POS is required to gain sovereignty if no one else has a POS in the sector. It also requires a downtime to gain sovereignty. Oh and only Alliances can claim sovereignty.
Q. What do I need to build an Outpost?
1* freighter
1 manufacturer with the Outpost Construction Level 1 Skill
1 platform BPO
Approx 30 billion isk
A lot of haulers
Important bits
You carry the finished platform in a freighter (no other ship can carry the platform) once you launch it at this present time you cannot scoop it back up again, freighters can't scoop remember. So make sure you don't do what I did and launch it in the middle of space nowhere near anything and unable to move, pick it up or build it.
At the moment you can anchor the Outpost anywhere not near to an object, but you can only build it in orbit of a planet (at warp in point). So don't drop it anywhere it HAS to be in a planets orbit.
When u launch it for corp the first thing to do and you MUST do is to right click it and set a password. If you don't set a password ANYONE from ANY corp or alliance can access the storage and remove items from it.
Once you have put in all the resources and clicked build it requires another downtime before you get your Outpost.
Lastly you cannot put the resources in the Outpost using a Freighter, only ordinary haulers can.
That's enough for now, the rest plus a good idea what to do will come later in the week on my site.

Im guessing that when you state this: "Lastly you cannot put the resources in the Outpost using a Freighter, only ordinary haulers can.", you mean that freighters cant put stuff in the outpost platform ?... im seriousely hoping that freighters can dock at an outpost ?
That leads to this question : Can freighters unload at a POS corporate hangar array ?
If they can it would make it possible to offload all the mins/trade goods in the system where the outpost platform is, and then use normal haulers from there to the outpost building platform.
Atm you can launch POS modules from a freighter but you can't access any of the storages like the control tower and hangar. Dunno if that's gonna change though.

Perhaps you gotta move it all to the platform and blow up the freighter 
The platform I've been playing with requires over (well over) 1 mill m3 shifting to it. Blow the freighter up and your only gonna get 27500m3 in the leftover container at most

Perhaps bring a freighter to haul it to the station, and let multiple itty 5's move it into the station?
Yep atm that's the way to do it. Not sure if they are gonna change that or not.

Between POSs and Outposts each has advantages/disadvantages
POS (advantages)
It's mobile and can be moved
You make Tech II minerals in a POS reactor (the only place where this can be done)
You mine moon minerals from a POS
A POS has defenses
Outpost (advantages)
It's permanent once erected (as it currently stands)
It's indestructable (for now)
You can dock at it just like a proper station
You can manufacture, research and recycle at them
You can have an office based at one
You can charge rent for services (and docking) at one
POS (disadvantages)
You have to continually fuel it
You can't dock at it
If you claim sovereignty it shows on the global map so everyone else knows there's a POS in that sector (and maybe an Outpost)
Outpost (disadvantages)
It costs billions to put up
You need a freighter to put it up
It has no defenses (as it currently stands)
When they become conquerable it will have to be defended by players

Quote:
side note: Outpost Platform used as super mega secure can? just drop it in a nice belt and get mining? (would be an insane use of it, of course, but whats keeping it from happening outside of common sense?)
20-25 Billion ISK can that you can't scoop back up.... If they want to use it for mining into then I guess that's there loss. Oh and I tried anchoring it in an ore field and at 100km away it wouldn't let me.

A couple of questions;
4. Does an outpost show up on the right-click menu?
5. Does an outpost show up on the map under the show stations option?
4. Yes
5. Yes

Does the Outpost (note Outpost and not POS) require fuel to run?
No but you need to fuel the POS(s) to maintain sovereignty.

Great sticky, answered a lot of questions I had. But I have one question.
What is the difference between an outpost and a conquerable station? Or are they the same thing?
Difference is a conquerable station is already pre-built you just have to pound on it a lot to get it. An Outpost you physically construct and it takes oodles of stuff to make one. But in essence they become the same thing, once you take sovereignty off the Outpost owner it's then conquerable.

or we can not be numptys and just eject/jetission the cargo into space, that's why we have cargo pods, then your smaller ships of any size can pick them up and turn around and dock and offload. Rinse and repeat until you're finished... *sigh*
You can't jettison from freighters

Let me paste what I put in the other post asking about freighters, this will help you understand better.
A freighter .....
can't scoop
can't jettison
can't transfer goods to or from any POS structures
can't transfer goods into an Outpost Platform (Egg)
A freighter can .....
Travel from station to station
launch POS modules
launch Outpost Platform (it's intended use)
So the only way you can use a freighter is by shipping the goods to the nearest station (not POS) then use ordinary haulers to shuttle the stuff to the Outpost.
Everyone that's built one will tell you this.

Do deploying outpost change the nature of the sec status in that systems or surrounding systems?
I would hate to see an outpost go in and loose all the benefits of -1.0---0.0 space.
Doesn't change a thing, except u now got a station.

Question: does only the minmatar outpost have a refining array or do they all? If they all do - what are the efficiencies of the refining arrays?
Only Minmatar Outpost have refineries and it has a base refine of 35%.

It's a station 35% and it is boosted by refining skills.
