Dreads in siege mode do something like 500% damage, and have a stupid repair amount, a Fully armed POS will do about the same DOT as a well flown and equiped Dread can Tank. The only thing that can save the POS is the reinforced mode. A dread hitting for 1800 * missle skill bonus *500% * 3 launchers will be dishing out wicked damage.
A dread in siege mode can make work of a POS, but a fleet will have to blockade a re-supply effort so the reinforced mode ends
But Basically individual corps using POS in an alliance controlled space will be mostly eliminated.

As a POS owner myself, I'm very interested in seeing how the 'dread vs. POS' balance actually works in practice.
There's a balance to be struck, between a POS being 'fairly solid' and able (if well set up) to suck up a reasonable sized attack, and the ability to remove 'unwelcome' starbases.
The balance I think, is when a 'reasonable' sized fleet can take down an unattended POS, where a 'large' fleet is needed to destroy a properly defended one.
If anyone _is_ planning a strike on a POS, I'd love to see the vid. :)
I still think it'll be far more cost effective to blockade the system than take it down by main force.

Do shield hardening arrays work? They look like a good thing to try to outlast, or at least survive longer vs. a dread...

Yeah, Shield Hardener arrays do work. I set some up on a POS i had and shot missiles at it. They did the appropriate reduced damage.

The main advantage of a dread is the ability to tank a starbase, not firepower. If you want to take down a tower within any sort of reasonable timeframe you need a few dreads and some battleships to boot.
Simply put, you jump into the system, warp to a covert ops in position, hit the siege module and start doing your thing..
Without siege mode, dread has the dps of maybe 3 battleships or one gankageddon. Siege mode is 500% to damage, so about the firepower of five gankageddons, depending on which dread you use.
