The main flaw in your plan is that they would get all their dreads back from CCP when they petitioned your logon exploit and you would get banned for a short time.
Originally by: zuckas Seems like a decent idea but is probably flawed. the corps setting up the empire pos's are probably not the richest corps in eve (cant afford your ransoms, at least ransoms that would make this in any way profitable) secondly thats some juicy targets.. having that many dread's in reinforced mode expect some war dec's that make it extreamly difficult for you guys to get anything done. anyone had the ambush idea i had? hire them to take out a pos have 20-50 guys offline in bs's ready to log on when the "DREAD FLEET OF DOOM" gets there as soon as they are in reinforced have your hidden fleet log on and get some nice dread kill mails.
if you are really serious why dont you think of hireing yourselfs out to 0.0 alliances. i am sure some of them would be willing to pay for a fleet of dreads to show up and help them out removing some pos's or capturing a player conqurable station.
anyways the idea seems neet but i have a feeling you will either discover it does not work or someone will be smart enough to simply kill you off

So have the fleet waiting in the next system over. No need for a log-on trap, it's not like dreadnoughts are the zippiest ships around. ________________________________________________

This was just discussed in another thread that it is not an exploit. So log away.

its possible to scan for a pos, but you need to know the sys that the pos is in. This plan sucks IMO, someday someone is going to set up a pos with just guns, and you guys will jump in and be ******.
and im not sure telling everyone your plan is a very good idea.

false unfortunatly log on tactics are not considered an exploit... I'm not saying I condonne it... btu they are valid as per GM's comments on these forums.

I'm playing Eve only for 3 months so please forgive my stupid questions, but a POS in Siege mode isn't destroyed, isn't it? It doesn't mine or produce and need fuel, but it's still there, isn't it? What if the Corp just jumps in with a fleet...you flee with your Dreads and the corp gets the POS back online? With a 10 Dread only fleet, you can't siege a POS till the Siege mode is over (corpmate of me told me that it would last depending on fuel for up to 12 hours...enough time to get any BS you want to the system) and if you don't, you can't get the POS destroyed.

"Siege mode" refers to a mode for dreads. What you are thinking of is "reinforced mode".
Basically this depends on the amount of Strontium Clathrates the owners have. It's usually a fair amount; 12 hours is usually a sensible lower margin. Any less than that is asking for trouble.
Basically the dread fleet knocks the tower down to 25% shield strength and it goes into reinforced mode. The owners get a nice little 'help me!' mail from the POS and you get time to scramble a fleet.
So if they have a dread fleet backed up by a conventional fleet then they can pull it off. If its just a dread fleet, they won't be able to since even a few battleships can take down a dread. And if that's the case they'll only be able to hit targets that can't pay.

Originally by: Lord Dreadnaught Ask the mighty Stain- Alliance how long there large POS's equiped with all guns lasted to the might of the mere 6 dreads in FAT. I believe that all 5 or 6 of their POS's were brought into reinforced mode in mere hours with no dreads lost.
Actually, at one point we had 13 Dreads in play, with 7-9 doing most of the work. Granted, the SA POS's were set up horribly and all of our pilots ships are pimped to the max with faction mods, but that's not the point.
Depending on the type of POS you are attacking accounts for a lot. If you hit a Death Star with the proper guns and at least two specific shield hardeners active, it will slow you down considerably.
The biggest problem is one of logistics. It will be interesting to see how this plays out... -

If I setup a POS can I watch you blow it up for free, or are you going to charge me to have my own POS removed by force? It would be rather fun to watch a bunch of dreads taking down a POS. Everyone is born right handed, only the great over come it.

How to combat this before it even starts:
1. Look for the idiots buying mass amounts of ice and the mass amount of freighters moving it!
All done!

I doubt this will be succesfull due to a couple of reasons that I won't go into. Let's just say I've been part of taking down some POSses and I get the feeling you never did. But I might be wrong.
I like the idea though. _________________________________________________________

Originally by: Simon Juanquar (combat) Minmatar Control Tower hits you, doing 1327.4 damage. (combat) Minmatar Control Tower places an excellent hit on you, inflicting 2100.6 damage. (combat) Minmatar Control Tower strikes you perfectly, wrecking for 6386.8 damage. (combat) Minmatar Control Tower barely scratches you, causing 985.4 damage. (combat) Minmatar Control Tower hits you, doing 2096.9 damage. (combat) Minmatar Control Tower aims well at you, inflicting 2197.2 damage.
Those were medium guns firing into a fleet of 20 battleships. Large guns do twice the damage.
Battleships can't withstand that, mine didn't, and I saw five more beside me die just the same.
I'm sorry mate, but a pos can be programmed to fire upon recieving fire at the first target. that target becomes primary for the cycle period of 30 seconds. a minmatar tower can get off four to five shots per gun per cycle. It's extremly easy to setup a pos that will kill a dread in two volleys, seige mode or not.
good luck to you anyway. :)
WRONG
I took a full cycle of everything a fully armed minmatar tower had to offer and made it ut just fine.
You sir are wrong

I don't know if your stupid or drunk. Dreads are not that uber and I have seen them go "Boom" just like any other ship. But please, continue your fantasy I think it's kinda cute, like a kitten trying to roar, or maybe even a mouse.

1. Anyone who pays these fools. 2. 30 min to take a large pos to reinforced mode. 3. The idea in general.

Nope, Not since he won't be using anything other than...what 10 dreads? (from what i have read). Assuming he fields a force like that. Remember he doesn't have an enormous alliance to back him when he finally gets caught in the act by a large force.

ive seen a POS go into reinforced mode in less time than 30 mins you just have to wait for reinforced mode to finish then which can take up to 36hrs
