Wormholes

You can give certain tab access of CHAs to certain roles. Give your friends full access to all the tabs but limit the new guys to the first 2 or 3 tabs.

Talocan United has a great website they put together. In there, look for an article titled "POS Permissions and Access".....or something to that nature.

You can find their website either via google, or go to the top sticky of this forum....Notable Wormhole Corps.

You can lock GSCs. You just can't anchor them inside the POS shield and set the password. You should make a safespot. Even if your POS comes under siege, you still at least have your modules safe in space.

GSCs can be scanned down. It is difficult, but possible.

But for most purposes that suggestion is safe.

There are several ways to lock things down...

Cheap way is to restrict your tabs to just a few and have 1 or 2 reserved for stuff the has to be kept secure. Only provide access to those select tabs to the CEO and your directors/people. Then bring in an X large ship assembly array and drag ships from the SMA to the secure tab in the X-Large assembly array.

The other is setting up 1 tower per 5 people (who have tabs each) and passwording each individual tower.

Unfortunately, nothing is bullet proof and people will always be people so there is no sure fire way of keeping things 100% secure.

Bob be with you.

I just put my (cloaky) orca alt in a safe spot and log it in when I need to reship, refit, or get stuff out of it. Suddenly POS permissions aren't an issue, and I can't be seiged :)

I've heard of people being able to use directional and cap slamming back and forth between safespots around the GSC until they eventually land on grid with it, but AFAIK it is impossible to scan down GSC's with scan probes. Even if you did find it those things have a crapton of hp, so you very well may be shooting at an empty can for a very long time.

^^ Your sig will light up like a christmass tree potentially making it quicker to get a lock.

I am always happy to learn new stuff, and accept that recent patches may have changed things, but …. I do not believe that GSCs, anchored or free-floating, can be probe scanned down. I also doubt that a sensibly placed GSC can be located, in any reasonable time-frame, through the use of the DS. But, hey, I’m a doubting kind of person.

You can probe scan ships that are uncloaked at their resupply GSCs, and I have been in fleets where we’ve killed our own members who go AFK while uncloaked at our resupply cans in hostile systems … because their lack of care is putting all of our resupply stuff and all our people at great risk.
You can ‘see’ GSCs on DS but cannot get a lock on them unless you are ongrid and can see them also in your overview.
You can use your DS range and direction functions, coupled with a lot of warping to-and-fro while watching your overview closely, to home-in on a GSC-in-space. It is theoretically possible to locate a GSC using this method … but I have found trying to do so to be a huge and tedious PITA. I have never succeeded in doing so, and have tried on several occasions.

As stated above I also have some doubts about people’s claims to be able to do this, to locate a GSC in space, but that may well be simply based on the fact that I have not managed to do so myself and so (egotistically) doubt that others can do so. Of course, anchoring a can ongrid with a celestial or in some other tard-location doesn’t count … you don’t need any skills to find them.
I’d be happy to enter into a little wager with anyone who reckons that they can do this – I’d anchor a can in a convenient (for me) hisec system, name it something obvious, and challenge you to find it and bookmark the location within a couple of days. You know, a kinda put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is type of challenge. What say, does anyone want to put some isk up against their claimed skills and accept Subs-can-can challenge?

On the issue that the OP raises. Not so long ago I recall reading a thread from a w-space corp / alliance that provides each new member with their own POS. I assume theirs was a system with a squillion moons, that the individual members are responsible for fueling their POSes, and that forcefield passwords are used as the primary security barrier. Initially it seemed an odd idea to me but later I came to understand the defensive value of having a tower anchored at every moon, even if not onlined. That approach may be an option for you, IDK.

GSCs can be found in the same way as anything else with the D-scanner: warping between spots and bookmarking until you finally land on grid.

The fix is easy: Don't drop it based on celestial warps. Use old sites for example.

Even if you do manage to find the GSC like this, it takes a while and is very very boring.
