I ask because fighters seem ideal to take pos's, and last I heard, using drones was bannable.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you trying to tell me fighters are good at taking POS's down? As in the giant heavily armed star bases?
Fighters are flimsy, and any half decent POS could destroy it in a volley or two, unless I'm very much mistaken.
And whats this about using drones being a bannable offense? Using them how? -----------------------------------------------

You cannot tell normal drones to attack a POS, if you try they simply dont do it, however Sentry drones DO work vs POS, and theres a specific setup to use on the Domi for Pos takedowns using sentry drones I have done it and can confirm that it works, and it works well

Last i heard, using drones/fighters other than sentries on a POS was petionable.
None of the drones (besides the sentries) can reach the tower within the shield. But waste the tower's ammo and cycles
This was a while ago. I am not sure, but i think they fixed it afterwards by making the POSes not targets drones (and if that is true, then there is nothing wrong with shooting POSes with drones now, but why would you do that since they can't reach the tower anyways)
=================================== Above comments are my personal views

It must have been over a year ago that using dones on a POS was an exploit, it was certainly before Dreads when you needed a Sizable BS fleet to do it...
Well anyway, it was classed as an exploit because the drones would draw the turret fire of the POS away from the Battleships. My memory for these things is failing me, but I think it was before the number of controlable drones was reduced for 10 to 5 on most ships. Basicly the sheer number of drones meant that the POS guns had a very low chance of even firing on attacking ships. IIRC POS turrets no longer target drones in order to counter this.
I guess you could kill a POS by assigning fighters to shuttles or frigs, and having the frigs attack the POS with them, but
a) you'd need a lot of fighters to do any significant damage
and
b) the defending party could easily just pop the fighters. At 20 mil each you don't want to be loosing too many.
Whole lot more efficient just to use dreads. -----

First, the more important issue, tell me which fighters you are using that can hit at 15-30km?
As for the drones, that was only for a very short time, quite awhile ago. You dumped tons of light drones, and the lock time on the drones, was higher then the cycle time on the guns. The act of launching enough light drones, basically meant the guns didn't fire.
However, this was fixed. POS no longer shoot drones, problem solved.

Um, if you watch the new (and awesome) trailer for Eve, the Revelations one, you'll see a Dragonfly fighter firing on a Minmatar control tower. I don't expect CCP would release a trailer that used an exploit as a sample of gameplay. ------ ------

once the forcefield is down, drones/fighters/thoraxes with blasters/whatever can get within range of the tower or any mods and shoot them. ---------

Drones and fighters cannot hit a pos with its shield up. POS' do not aggro drones and fighters. Drones and fighters can shoot a pos with its shield down. Using them is no longer (long long time) an exploit. |

No its not an exploit..it was classified as an exploit after a patch once (pre REV) as the tower kept cycling to light drones instead of the ships but I belived that the issue was resolved. I could be wrong though --------
