Hey guys.
I've heard about player stations, seen their components in the Market and seen the skills required to manage them.
When you are setting up a player owned station does it have to be in 0.0 space?
Can it be in secure (+.5) space?
What are the basic rules when setting them up?
Is there some reference guide that I am missing on this subject?
Thanks
Taark

There is a forum dedicated to Player Owned Starbases (POS). They'll likely have a guide in there that'll answer all your questions.
My understanding of the matter, which is limited, is that you cannot have a POS in Empire Space. You can construct a POS in Low-Sec space, but this requires those passes you've seen to placate the nearest Empire to allow it.
You must have control of a 0.0 system (through various means) in order to construct a POS in said system.
A POS would be exceptionally difficult for an individual to build and operate, as it requires an enormous amount of cash to build ... and must be refueled regularly in order to operate. I highly doubt that a solo player could ever mine enough resources to run a POS and manage to protect system sovereignty at the same time. Or, in the case of a low-sec POS, I doubt any solo player could mine the resources and make the ISK necessary to keep up on the "rent" as it were.
I'm fuzzy on all the above details, so take it with a grain of salt. But I hope it helps nonetheless.

Er... From MY understanding, you can have a starbase in any system you want (hence the strategy of "zerging" someone for sovereignty), with the limitations of 0.3 or lower security, or the proper standing with the space's owner in security levels above 0.3 (to a max of 0.7, right?). Empire = NOT 0.0, so lowsec is still Empire.

It's not an FAQ, but it's a boatload of info. http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=179069 Shoule be what you need.
It appears I was quite wrong on several accounts (which I did warn you about). Oh, and GC ... my bad on the "Empire", I meant low-sec vs. high-sec.
Oh, and this line nearly made me launch my burrito lunch out my nose: "WARNING: Warping to a moon which already has someones POS residing there will likely result in a swift and pretty damn quick episode of wtfpwned. A POS turret will pop your industrial in one shot.
"

Excellent thanks for the help. This is exactly what I am looking for in this thread.

I run my POS with one itty 5 run every 2-3 days... its quite easy and takes minimal/no real effort.

Really? Damn. Does it get attacked often? Or is it a fairly "safe" area for you? Just curious. I was under the impression that the materials were either cost-prohibitive to purchase and/or time-intensive to mine.

Well, it all depends on your cashflow. Not mining anything, a small tower will cost you about 12-15mil of fuel per week. Mining everything you can brings that to about 2mil/week in NPC fuel. Plus hauling.
There is little point in setting one up in lowsec unless you are moon mining with it. You don't need empire charters unless you are setting one up in 0.4 and above, which you would only do to have another factory to use or to have a research lab at. You can't moon mine in high security.
Note that the small tower is 100mil to buy.
Outposts (the thingys you can build and dock at) are in the billions. Luckily they don't require fuel by themselves (just need to keep the large POSes keeping the system fueled)
