There is a high sec POS Tower, Large Amarr, that I would like taken down. It is not fueled and has no structures around it, undefended. I think its owners are inactive. It should be a pretty simple war dec and then building grinding. Please PM me if you would be willing to negotiate shooting it down.

Just curious, whats the going rate on a highsec tower grind? 500m + dec fees? 1b?

I have come to find out that large towers in high sec are stupid and OP. A large tower has 850,000,000 EHP, which means it would take a huge sub cap fleet several hours to take one down. I did get one offer for 300 million, but given the number of ships he offered I suspect it would take 40+ hours of non-stop shooting, there is no way anyone would follow through with an offer like that.

IMO large towers should not be allowed in high sec if they are not going to allow dreadnoughts to shoot them down. All you have to do is fly to a few moons and see the vast number of unfueled large towers, abandoned but not worth the time to destroy.

Nope, an offline large tower (therefore no hardeners) wont have anywhere near that much ehp. The 99% hull resists are only for anchored structures and not the tower itself. You should be looking at sub 60mill ehp if you are shooting into the resist hole.

That sure is good to know. I guess I should have assumed that 99% resists was too crazy to be true, however, the official in-game data is misleading. The tower's own attributes pages shows 8,000,000 hull hit points with 99% resists.

Get on SISI and experiment to find out for sure.
