A related oversight IMHO is that if a POS is boosted back out of reinforced before dt, then there is no loss of sov count. Effectively, it as if there was no attack on the POS at all during that 24 hour period.
That sucks. If a POS goes into reinforced, it's count for Sov should reset to 5 days from the time it comes out of reinforced.
Then, if you knock a large number of enemy POSs into (at least) reinforced AND have more of your own POSs than they do, you are guaranteed at least a period of sov.
A further revision which would fix this is that for the alliance with Sov, additional POSs should count immediately towards sovreignty. The attackers POSs only count from day 5.
That way, the defender (of sovreignty) can defend, the attacker must be the attacker. Current system puts the attacker of sovreignty into the easier defensive position immediately.
Total & utter agreement, this 5 day nonsense is far too easy to abuse, A POS in reinforced mode should effectively be negated.

Maybe CCP needs to remove all 3D models of NPC's and replace them with white 2D squares with the NPC's name typed in the square. I miss pong.

Yeah it kinda riles me that the POS is not only invulnerable in re-inforced but it can blat you out the sky. At least make the guns tragettable so they can be picked off byt eh dreads, whilst teh pos is in reinforced.

I also find it odd a POS cant be dropped in re-inforced mode. Why cant a POS buster be deployed that uses stontium to drain the shield out.
Speeding up the decay of the reinforced mode.

Agreed Anara, the point of a siege is to cut off the position.
Carriers make even locking down a system completeley a pointless task.
Defenders can jump into the pos even in reinforced mode through the shield (Historical note opening castle gates wasnt a easy or simple task).
& of course even if the POS is invulnerable the guns still function perfectly. Your actually better keeping the POS in re-inforced mode :D
Because 5 days is a helluva long time.

It is unfair how literally just 5/6 people can keep control of a system which has hundreds of people in it setup for pvp.

I dont understand why pos guns arent already out of the shield. If defenders cant fire out, how can the guns. Psuedo babble would say shield affinity, if the POS guns can be timed to fire through the shield why cant defenders ?
By the same token give hacking a role, allow a stealthed cloaker to approach & hack the shield allowing the attacking fleet to fire on the POS guns, but not the pos.
Actually while were on it that doesnt fix 6 people being able to defend against 100+. If it were me Id remove POS guns entirely & allow the defenders to shoot out.

Carrier jumps in exits field reps POS wash rinse repeat.
note the carrier is under no threat as it can reneter fields & the POS guns are still online.

Ellaine - The carrier exits the shields, but bearing in mind you cant have your dread fleet online 23/7. & its problematic being on at 4am for people with jobs & lives.
