PI - most planets will have some type of CO on them. Originally, all planets had NPC COs, however, some of these may have been destroyed with no one replacing a Player CO (POCO) in its place.
You have a few options here. if there's an NPC CO, you can destroy it and construct your own in its place. If there's a POCO on site, you can attempt to destroy it as well (keep in mind, there's a 24 hr reinforced mode the POCOs will go into, giving the defender time to coordinate a response), you can just use it as-is and pay their tax rate, or you can contact the corp and try to arrange a special tax rate for your corp (taxes can be set based on alliance or corp standing). The owner of a POCO can see what and when you are exporting goods from their planet, FYI.
For the POS Questions:
- Anyone can and will shoot at your POS in low/null; be sure the arm the crap out of it. you don't need to be wardecced, someone just has to spend the time to do it.
- For reccomended setups check this post out. Also, look for posts by Tau Cabalandar (sp?), he's done a few good posts on POS setups. if you're in low or null, i'd suggest you consider a large tower, whatever you do. it will allow for the most defenses and services, though will also cost the most.
- Tower type depends on its use. If you're doing reactions, you want lots of CPU (Caldari). If you're doing something else, you may want to focus on pg (minimatar).
- if you run a lab in lowsec, make sure you have a corporate office in system. you never want to keep BPO's in the pos, keep them in station and remote research from the station.
- corporate hangar holds 1.4 million m3. if you need more, you can use large ship assembly arrays. their production hangars exceed the cargo space of the corporate hangars by a large amount, if i'm not mistaken.
- moon mining all depends on the type of moon you have. it's not very likely you'll find a valuable moon in and of itself. however, many people run moon mining on the side as a little extra income, while focusing on other activities as their bread and butter to make the POS pay for itself.
- picking a crappy moon will keep people from wanting to kill your tower because of the moon, however, they may have other reasons to attack it. i.e. if they see labs w/o any stations in office, that's a potential target. frequency of attack all depends on location. if you pick the right location, you can go months/years w/o problems. it also helps if you and your corpies keep a low profile near you pos. don't be pissing off your neighbors and expecting that everything will be peachy.
gl on your endeavor. |
