HI folks
We're setting up a backwater Small Gallente POS near a decent spawn and some rares to run for a month. It would have a refinery and a fitting bay and a silo but my question is this: what should we fit to keep snoopers at bay?
There is talk of a scrambler and cruise launcher but wondering if anyone had a better layout?
Cheers

Don't fit anything with a higher range as 150km at a small POS. It wont use it.
If you are serious about refining at a POS you have to use a large refinery and that needs a large POS. The whole thing can fast sum-up to 500MISK investment.

Depends what you got spare in terms of cpu/grid. First thoughts would be:
IMO: 6 small 'short range' gun (Blaster)
6 small 'long range gun' (railgun)
1 webber
1 warp disruptor
Plonk one on each of the cardinals of your tower. It'll not hold off a determined attack by any means, but if someone drops by solo, it'll eat them.
'course, you could just go for like, no guns at all, and fit a webber and scrambler. If anyone _does_ show up in a ship, it gets 'stuck' and can't leave (well, unless it wants to fly 300km whilst webbed).
Small towers aren't all that hard a target, the major deterrent is that they take time/ammo to kill.

POS ranges were altered in the last patch. They all fire long range now.
But yeah, the small refinery totally sucks (35% yield, slow processing rate), the medium intensive mostly sucks(75% yield, slower processing), and the intensive refinery uses 4000cpu. (and sucks 75% yield, decent processing rate, but long cycles)

The refining aspect is just an opportunistic offshoot. It's the refitting and storage for our spawn pharming that attracts.
The key is just to deter and a 30 mil loss in assets is no biggie when we can earn that in one drop :)

In which case just fill the remaining grid with a mix of small long and short range guns. Smalls, IMO are way better - 4 is equivalent to 2 medium which is equivalent to 1 large in terms of DPS, grid, firing time (ammo stored) optimal, falloff. Only difference is that smalls have a signature resolution of 40m and notably better tracking.

Use lasers or drones or you go crazy.
