I'm new to the game (about a month now), though I've got a few 'experienced' friends who have been playing for around 6 months to a year. I recently had asked them a question that they were unable to completely answer.
The question I had asked was, "Are the Player owned Space Stations able to be blown up?"
The response I recieved from them was, "POS's can be blown up, Space Stations (as far as we know) can only be conquered..."
Is this the actual truth about the Space Stations? Once a Corp/Player drops a station is it permenant?
Can someone clarify this for me please?
Thanks... |

Playerbuilt Stations aka Outposts can only be conquered.
Player owned Stations(PoS) aka Star Base can be blown up.

And in order to conquer an outpost you need to blow up the enemies POSes claiming the souvereignity and erect your own.

Claiming sovereignty is correct, but you can also do that with installing more POSs than your opponent (if there are enough moons).

Sounds like you're not sure of the difference. A POS (star base) is a tower with a big spherical shield. A POS can mine moon mins, refine ore, can have limited storage and ship fitting facilities, and can mount a formidable array of defensive weaponry and EW modules. Depending on the setup, a single large "death-star" POS can cost a billion or more ISK to set up, and more to maintain. A small tower can be set up for a lot less, but they can all be destroyed, one way or another.
Outposts are full stations, just like the conquerable stations. They can't be blown up, only taken over. Different outposts offer different amenities, similar to npc and conquerable stations, and the builder gets to choose what kind of station they want. An outpost (depending on who you ask) costs between 15 and 30 billion ISK.

Cool... thanks...
That does help clear it up a little... Though it would be nice if the outposts could be blown up also...
I'm more for the 'cause pain and suffering' when possible. Be nice to go through a sector and raze everything... 
Though the way it's going, it'll be some time before I even get to a level I can attempt that... 
Thanks again...

wonder what would happen if the alliance that owned the station attempted to conq. it?

They will never quit. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

It would be interesting if in the event you knew you were going to lose your Player Owned Space Station, you could scuttle it.
