Ok POS is in reinforced mode after being attacked. cant lock it to remote shield charge it - cant offline it due to being lockdown mode so can someone please tell me what the ***** we are meant to do to get it back operational. Do we just need to wait for the shields to recharge ?

just wait until it leaves reinforced mode, but the enemy will also know exactly when that'll happen, and they'll be back for it.
your only option is to form a fleet, and stop them from taking it.

When reinforced mode runs out the shields will start to recharge, when they reach 50% you can use it again as per the norm. If the hunting party come back before that and start shooting it, then because it now contains no strontium it will blow up.

Yep, you can only remote recharge the shields once it is out of reinforced mode and you can only online / offline / put more strontium in it once it has more than 50% shields.

That doesn't sound so good, how long do them remain in reinforced mode for?

As long as there are Stronthium clathrates inside. A small tower for example consumes 50 SC per hour.

So, its a pay of between how long you need it to stay in re-inforced mode and how long you want it to? it will always use all the strontium deposits?

As fas as i know, yes. They use all SC they have inside before they come out of reinforced mode.

Well thats just silly... You should be able to bring it out as the owner once the threat is gone!
I was thinking of putting in a 30 day suply so that it would hold up but now I dont know! Im going to have to rethink this.
They really need to set that up the owner can bring it out of lock down once the threat is gone. Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Number 1 in the Hood, G |

I think you're not quite ready yet to run a pos.

The good news is that I have a large amount of SC on hand now hehe
Yeah I see your point about having to hold the station at bay. But as a POS owner I guess I just want them to be uber strong =)

You might be able to recharge the shields using Logistics cruisers once it comes out of reinfoced mode. I don't think anything else will be able to do it. Of course you might have a hostile fleet to contend with too.
You can't put 30 days of Strontium into it btw. That's a nice try though.

Strontium Clathrates are very bulky material so they take up alot of cargo room. Hence the reason why you can't put 30 days worth in it. It simply won't fit. My suggestion is to put enough in it so it comes out of reinforced mode opposite the timezone it was sieged. For instance, if it's sieged at 2000 evetime, put enough strontium clathrates to keep it in reinforced mode for 32-36 hours or 56-60 hours after that. The time it's sieged is obviously the best time for the opposing fleet to muster the people to take it out. So you want it to come out of reinforced when it is NOT the best time for them to muster a fleet to come finish it off. You want them to be in bed sleeping or at school/work when it does, not when their peak time is for playing Eve.
Instead of putting in 72 hours worth, put in 80-84 hours worth.

Edited by: Meat Wadd on 24/03/2006 16:05:09 yeah I figured that out as well when I tried to do it hehe...
Hey good idea about charging the shields from your ships. Do you keep lock on the tower after you move into the shield range or do you have to charge them from outside the shield range?

You can only lock the tower from outside the shield. The only ships that can recharge the shields of the tower from that range are Logistics Cruisers as far as I know.

Aww No way! You cant use shield repair drones? I'll give that a try this weekend and see if they work.
Also I understand that you cant lock the tower from inside the shields... BUT can you lock the tower then move inside the shields to fix shileds while in the safety of the shields? I'll give that a try as well....
If you are correct about the Logistics Cruisers then Ill be getting a few of those soon hehe =( Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Number 1 in the Hood, G |

Includes t1 logistics cruisers (osprey).

Edited by: Meat Wadd on 27/03/2006 15:51:22 Edited by: Meat Wadd on 27/03/2006 15:50:13 Ok we set up a lg POS this weekend and as the tower came online I set my shield repair drones to fix the tower. They moved at the tower but once they got past the shields they lost their lock and returned.
One thing to note. Before the shields came up they did orbit the tower and set about trying to power up the shields. I might try to leve them at the tower for the 30 min before the shields come up. They may just stay on at that point. Anyway it's just a test.
And as for the carriers. Ours will be stationed their for sure! Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Number 1 in the Hood, G |

Once in reinforced can you offline and un-anchor guns/silos/reactors etc..

No you can't anchor/unanchor or online/offline anything until the shields reach 50%.
What's worse is that you can't remove anything from the hangers or the ship array either. Normally you can remove stuff from hangers while they're offline. When it's in reinforced mode, you can't take anything out.

Risky option: You can use shield repair drones if you offline the tower temporarily so they don't bounce off the bubble.

From the ship array, correct.
However, you can empty the corp hangar arrays without a problem (as they don't need to be online to remove stuff).

You're mistaken. I've experienced this first hand.

Just to make sure I understand this...
Once a POS enters reinforced mode it cannot be taken out of that mode until it runs out of Strontium. I understand this.
Once it comes out of reinforced mode, the shields will be at 0%, so at this point you can use a logistics cruiser to recharge the shields to 50% much more quickly?
Really just trying to understand if the shields will not recharge (and that you cannot recharge them), while it is in invulnerability mode. Thanks,

They will charge but it's slow. Check your tower info it has a shield recharge time. The logistic ships just make that happen faster.

You're almost right. The shields will be at 25%, I think, when it comes out of reinforced mode. You can't recharge the shields in reinforced mode, because you can't lock the tower. The shields don't recharge at all while it's in reinforced mode. If they did, then it'd be possible to keep adding strontium so that it would never be destroyed.

As I'm sure you're now aware, SC is only good for having the pos come out of reinforced in a time when it can be defended properly, for some people that's 8hrs, others it is 16h etc. SC should be used in a balance that it gives you a good chance of being able to mount the strongest possible defence of your pos when the time comes

I believe you can now ask TRUST about this, and you'll find that, whatever you think you experienced, it isn't the way the game currently works.
You CAN take stuff out of corp hangar arrays, whilst the tower is in reinforced.
