I am thinking about trying to set a pos. Just for the fun of it really. Where can i find info and the different possible locations, situations, skills, standings, etc, etc.

Thanks

Dont bother you wont be able to fuel it unless you buy alot of plex. POS=waste of time due to the recent Ice mining changes that is if you are a high sec dweller. If you live in low or null good luck with that.

Yes, thankyou.

I forgot that google actually works better than the onsite search Roll

Well I dunno about you but searching "POS" in evelopedia takes me directly to that page...

You want to set up pos... For fun?


I... I honestly don't know how one could find dealing with pos fun.


But I guess I did spend 4 hours setting up a staging pos last night, so that might be coloring my opinion.

Well... ok. If you just want to set one up 'for fun' do it on the test server.

This is just wrong. You can easily fuel and take care of a highsec pos with a small operation. It is always an issue of knowing and finding the sweet spots in eve =)

I for example run an operation where i have to do some stuff for 5 to 10 minutes about twice or thrice a month and it can easily support my pos AND generate profit.

Dude, it's been like a 40% bump in prices.

There are some type of POSes which I would shut down for awhile now (mostly production POSes), but these costs will be passed on to customers, so once the module prices have risen a bit...

Mostly though, the price jump wasn't enough to turn me off my POSes.
