I'm looking to set up a high sec research pos in 0.5. Is it worth adding defences, or is it pretty safe it it's from a one man corp with no political troubles or war decs on the cards?
Much appreciated

If you only log on once a week, then yes. If you log on every day, then you can install defense modules, but leave them off. When you receive a wardec, turn them on before the open hostilities start.
Consider in high sec that only BS ships will be attacking, which takes either a large number of them, or a long time. So install modules that make it a major annoyance to take down. I would suggest loading on hardeners and ECM. For a small gang attacking, this will be annoying and won't be worth the effort.
If however, a high end merc corp is hired to take it down, it's going down.

People could otherwise war dec you and take it down with a single BS and not a concern in the world. Before you even realise it's coming out of reinforced in a few hours and you have a ransom note.
If you have a large POS with hardners ECM and some guns, in highsec someone is going to have to want to really hate you to take it down. Totally undefended, eve is a harsh place, someone could shoot it for ****s and giggles or a ransom.

I assume that anyone just randomly engaging without a war dec would get concordokkened? Also, do I need to set up my POS setting carefully in any way to ensure it doesn't gank some random? I assume only set to attack if agressed? Your signature was inappropriate, email [email protected] to find out why (don't forget to include a link to it) -Sahwoolo |

Edited by: Helen Hunts on 27/02/2008 05:13:14 Without a wardec, CONCORD will intervene, as always. Even without reinforced mode, it would take a prohibitive number of ships to suicide a tower in highsec. (assuming online tower, of course) If you let your tower go offline, the labs are easily popped in a suicide gank.
By all means, anchor the defences, but don't online what you don't need. If you're wardecced, online the hardeners and weaponry, or pull the whole thing down in a hurry.
There are corps that look for helpless little 1-man corps to dec for kicks and giggles, or to see how much money they can bleed one for.
EDIT: Also, Towers do not normally attack wandering bystanders. You will want the tower to ignore all aggression, but not wartargets. _______________________________

Originally by: Helen Hunts EDIT: Also, Towers do not normally attack wandering bystanders. You will want the tower to ignore all aggression, but not wartargets.
It's actually impossible to set up a high-sec tower so that it will engage wandering bystanders. The tower will only ever engage "valid" targets in empire (i.e. those that you would not get concorded for shooting yourself). This even applies to you taking manual control of the guns - it won't let you target anything that concord would get upset about you shooting. ------- There is no magic Wand of Fixing, and it is not powered by forum whines. |
