What a wonderfull day to play eve-online. I had the whole day off and after dedicating the whole weekend to celebrate my birthday (don't worry, the birthday was months ago) I had the whole day planned to go out blazing and destroy the entire eve universe. Well at least its inhabitants.
So I undocked Archa in a anathema and my alt in a helios. Searched system after system for a juicy mission runner. Everything seemed somewhat quiet until I entered Arzad. Normally a dull system but for some reason there were 3 pilots. After less than a minute the system filled up with 16 players and they were talking in local about a good fight. I almost discarded the system as a fleet infested one but my probe picked up a blackbird + hurricane. I figured it wouldn't hurt to take a peek. So I exited warp to witness a very exciting sight.
In front of me was a Large Gallante Control Tower. Only 30 minutes left on the unanchoring timer. The evil in my head whispered to take action. Take down the hurricane and the blackbird and add 360 mil to your bankroll. But the calculating part of my brain told me i could use some backup.
I needed a scooper, A jammer and a Shooter to take care of the enemie industrial. Fortuantely our friends were there to help me. JD and Kindjal were just in time to provide a few cargo expenders for archa his industrial. Asthornas remained at the pos to keep an eye on the enemie.
There were only 2 minutes left on the pos timer. We already had 2 falcons in place. I Jumped my hauler through. Our firepower was still a few jumps out. But it had to be done. I had to be in place. I arrived and the hurricane got jammed. 30 seconds left on the pos timer. The enemies industrial arrived. 0 sec left.. The pos is now unanchored but i can not scoop it. Come on! Scoop!.
Now things go wrong. A smartbomb fitted to the enemie his hurricane is ripping at my shields. The falcons were to far out to take out the rival industrial and I was being pushed away from the tower so that i couldn't scoop it.
And then. it was gone. The enemie his industrial scooped the pos. Frag me! But our zealot firepower was in warp. Unfortunately the industrial was aligning. We had to do something now. I could bump him out of alignment or... Activate my scrambler? Sweet! i had a scrambler on my industrial. Either it was pure brilliance or plain luck. But it worked. Or at least it seemed to work. The zealot was now pounding away at the Rival industrial and before I could pray for the large pos to survive it went sky high.
The hurricane warped off. He was furious. I quickly moved to the industrial wreck. opened it. And it was there!. ooh boy:). I scooped and aligned to warp to the station. Just as I was about to enter warp I quickly aborted. I saw the red timer in the top-screen of my hud....
15 minutes and the tower is ours. lets get the money flowing, The chickens are back to ruin everyone his day.... Except our own and our allies's

Scooping unanchoring poses is an artform, I've gotten a great many and it's always fun to scoop them up to to the rage of the carebears to whom they belonged. |

How do you know when one is being unanchored / the timer on it?

When you enter a system scan for poses and force fields, if you see more poses than force fields go check them out.
The turnover of poses in lowsec is pretty high, once I got two within 20 minutes. See the link in my sig for pos thefts. |

I liked it. Stole a few myself.
You should however note, you only needed to wait about 1 minute (aggression timer) then you could have docked.

So how much cargo space do POSes take? More than 7k m3? Sorry for asking (I'm still a noob) but I'm at work and this new "opportunity" sounds rather interesting and tempting than anything else.
Thanks for the great read btw! =)

more than 7.5k m3 of your iteron mk5 without cargo expanders. could have been 8k m3. I don't remember to be honest.
