I had planned to do ME/PE research, and later copying my blueprints for sale. Also, I hoped to centralize my industrial production given a recent shortage of manufacturing slots nearby. My comments about stockpiling fuel relate to making the fuel block parts via PI production, coupled with the ice I have saved. (Gotta keep those alts productive). I would rather have some fuel stockpiled before the Odyssey changes.
I had not realized that manufacturing POS slots were so specialized - the POS planner really helps. I will have to rethink the production part of the plan.
A few additional questions:
-The small ship array description mentions a ship maintenance array. I'm unclear on what role the ship maintenance array plays in building ships, if any.
-I would be planning to take the POS down if wardecced. As far as defenses, filling the weak spots on shield resists, plus maintaining a healthy store of Stront seemed reasonable precautions. In such a case, would ECM or guns really make a difference?
Despite what some say high sec pos bashing is not common. Most POSes bashed are dead POSes just to open the moon. POS bashing is boring, and not done unless you really make someone mad, or your POS loks to be a loot pinata.
Defenses are not really needed but can be a good deterrent to anyone considering bashing you POS, but they do not have to be online, just anchored. However they can not just attack you, they must war dec you and wait 24hrs. This is very rare, even for corps in alliances perpetually at war POSes are very rarely attacked, there is no benifit, or fun in attacking a high sec POS. Even in low and null most POSes are ignored as they are just to boring and a waste of time to attack, unless they are on a good moon or being used as a staging point for invasions.
I have had a small POS up in a busy section of caldari space for over 3 years without a single attack. Even when I was in an alliance under a war dec for 3 months not a single alliance POS was attacked, and we had several.
The only real thing you need to know is put up your POS in a system where you can afford to keep an office at a local station. This way you will not have any BPO's in the POS and it will not be worthwhile for anyone to attack. |
