The three cruise launchers will only do 46 dps on a caldari tower. You could easily tank the tower setup and waste their cruise missles.
Cruise missle batteries do not get a damage bonus. The cruise battery gives a missle veloctiy bonus of 2.5 which gives the cruise missles a range of 180km+ without including a caldari tower velocity bonus. So sniping without a tank isn't an option.
The webber stops you from orbiting the tower with an interceptor unfortunately.

Cruise missles on a pos have 25% of the explosion radius and a 100% increase in explosion velocity. You could use a bunch of kestrals with defender missles to down the cruise missles. You'd only need two or three to do a good job. Use some bs class dps if you are prepared to risk it. Depending on the size of the pos it'll take quite some time to knock it into reinforced mode.

Lmfao, how pathetic are you Indigo? You were told to stop because of spam and harassment. We received over 100 kill mails from that. I cant imagine you yourself are making any money of this. I honestly wouldnt enjoy logging on, wracking myself on a POS for a few hours and then logging off. For those of you who dont know a thing about POS's please dont post anymore. It doesnt help to sulk over a 210 Mil loss to these "industrialists" either.
It's only spam and harrassment where he has no chance of killing the pos.
Now if the pos actually ran out of ammo (which is highly unlikely) then it might be a different story.

I dont know if you guys are smart enogh to know this but Spamming a POS with ships and making it shoot at you does not make it burn more fuel. A POS burns the same amount of fuel allways unless you add a structer (takes up more Liquid Ozone and Heavy Water) or take one down (burns less) Also for you fools out there who think you can snipe a POS down in a BS I will tell you this. It take a fleet of 8 Dreds 4 hours to take down a Medium POS. Now even if you where to jump in 16 BS it would take 18+ hours... And Me being the person who sent in the Petition about the Spaming of the POS- Indigo if you are found dieing more then 3 times in one 24 hours period by the POS you will find your self banned.
So have fun with this stupid thread.
because it's illegal for a so-called "nub" to keep trying different ships and tactics to attack a pos located at Maalna VI moon 11?
or, are you lying?
why would a gm tell you "hey if she keeps attacking you and dying, we'll ban her".
please tell me it's not cuz of your alliance affiliation. actually, please tell me it is. 
Hmmm well some friends of mine took 7 hours to put a large caldari pos into reinforced mode with roughly 7 t2 fitted ravens. So 8 dreads should do a better job.
Here's a quick calc to confirm their erroneous ramblings.
Assume 8 caldari dreads with 3 citadel torp launchers, siege mode and no damage mods.
8 dreads x 3 launchers x 5000 x 1.05 (noob capital pew pew skills and no kinetic bonus) x 10 (for seige mode)= 1,260,000 damage every 48 seconds (with rof bonuses)
That's about 26k dps which makes the optimal shield regen of a medium caldari pos of around 310 hp/second look rather sickly.
Add a capital blaster to each phoenix and suddenly that four hour figure looks rather mythical when a caldari pos only has around 25m hp.
Note that cruise missle batteries do not give a damage bonus, only torp batteries get a damage bonus. You could tank their pos all day with a rubbish bs set up.

FYI: Blasters are useless if you are attacking a LARGE tower. You will NOT hit a large tower at all, because the blasters will be out of range.
Oh dear had a look at the blaster stats and you're very much right. 12km optimal for the base stat for the blaster with skills + iron XL the optimal will be less than 20km. 
Capital blasters suck for large ct and okish for a medium ct but I'd need to do calculations to determine dps allowing for the percentage of misses. That and probably not worth the logistics. Lucky my capital alt is training minmatar skills.
