Hi,

So I'm in some NPC space where the Interbus POCOs are still up - any previous experience u can share on ships needed and time spent on taking down a POCO? Is it doable with two BS only or is that gonna take forever?

Thx

Interbus poco is similar to a small pos without stront. I'd say 2 BS would be at least 4 hours.

Probably better answers in Crime & Punishment on this mechanic. Pretty much Industrialists on these threads.

well to follow up. The last interbus CO we shot registered 16mil damage taken. So that's raw HP it has roughly. If you bring about 4000 dps it would be a little over an hour. From my experience that is a decent guage.

Interesting. Was startled when every single POCO in the Low system Mahnaugh disappeared in a single night !

Prolly dreads. I'd imagine 4 dreads would drop one in one siege cycle.

Oracles (or other tier 3 BC) are cheaper than a BS should you get ganked, as POCO don't shoot back (unlike a POS).

Of course, you can fit micro jump drives to battleships to help make a quick exit.

I'd estimate it would take about 4 hours.

Dreads, Carriers, and Supers are generally what you use. Carriers are the safest as you can just assign fighters from a POS.

The Carrier is in The POS and the Fighter do the job on the POCO ?

Interesting. Is that a recent change? Or do you mean backed up against a POS and not in it?

Just enough out of the force field to assign fighters

Basically, the closest you can get to the control tower and still maintain a target lock on it. On a large control tower the force field is roughly 26,700 m from the tower as shown on the overview.

not that difficult, a blaster dps naga can do up to 1100 dps+, a fleet of 10-15 of those can take down a poco in no time, so clearing a system from all its poco can be done rather quickly
