So, my corp is planning on buying a second POS to do research in, specifically our BS BPO. Clearly this is going to be a large investment, and we want to make sure that it's kept safe, so my question is this:
Can you blow up POS modules when a POS is in reinforced mode? And if it is possible to blow the modules, is it possible to cancel whatevery research/copying the BPO is doing at the time and get it out of there while under siege?

Well, you can't target anything within a shield so long as the shield is still up. However, once the shield goes into reinforced mode, you can't access anything that requires CPU. So, if you have BPOs in the lab when the POS goes into reinforced mode, then they're stuck there.

i know you can pull stuff "out" of a corp hanger when it goes offline... just can't put anything back in... so this might count on a mobile lab.
I know that if you have a station in system with a mobile lab you can keep your BPOs safe in the station with a corp hanger there. I suspect that when the POS goes into re enforced, the jobs in the labs will be cancelled. You will lose any research materials, but the BPO *should* be safe in the corp hanger.

Hmm, so it sounds like we might be able to offline the lab during the attack, which would cancel the job and allow us to remove the BPO? Has anyone tried this out?

Would it be possible to unanchor the lab, scoop it in an indy, and keep the BPO's safe that way? Or would that nuke them? Come to think of it, if you know the POS is doomed, can you run in while it's in reinforced mode, grab everything, and keep it all from being blown up? That is, assuming that the enemy isn't camped out waiting to pound on anything that moves.

you can not unanchor anything while it has stuff inside of it. so you would have to pull the BPOs out of the lab then un anchor it.
nothign that requires CPU runs while it is in re enforced mode... including mobile labs. Also, while in re enforced mode you can not un anchor anything, you have to wait for it to exit re enforced mode.
if you want your BPOs safe, open an office at a station in the system where your mobile labs are anchored. You can research "into" the mobile labs from a corp office's corp hanger.

...That's news to me.
You can make remote use of your POS lab space in a station in the same system, meaning that the BPO stays in the station but uses a slot at the mobile lab?

yes.
If your corp has a mobile lab in the same solar system that they have a corperate office with a hanger, you can put the bpo in the hanger, and research it into the lab.
This is not a bug, but aparently a feature, since it was introduced as one when the pos labs were introduced. this allows you to research your bpos with out risking them to a POS... but only if all of the items are in the same system.
making a copy puts the copy in the lab, which you have to retreave, and if the research requires any consumables, that has to be shipped to the lab also.

Correct. Requires Scientific Networking.
