Your first choice is:

deathstar (guns. lots and lots of guns)
Dickstar (ECM + hardeners)

Woo! CSM XI!

I think that would be a bad choice.

I'd recommend a non-faction large, as it doesn't take much effort to reinforce a medium with a small gang. A large will at least be ignored unless someone is willing to bring dreads.

I'd keep Faction Towers in High Sec.

In Low Sec, skip a day or two of login and you could come back to nothing, especially if a large alliance has a go at it.

Although the BPC's for them are dropping, they are still very rare and expensive.

Better to slap up a regular tower in Low, imho.


edit: apparently Tau and I were on this at the same moment.

Lots of Hardeners. ECM is useless against dreads, and guns without gunners aren't going to kill anything but the some random baddy who warps to your moon and doesn't get out. Even with gunners, they are only really effective when combined with a support fleet. Meanwhile hardeners are a deterrent for everyone, they make subcaps take forever, and for caps force you to either bring a lot of dreads, or to sit there siegeing for several cycles, which is always risky. With hardeners, unless its a valuable moon, its not likely that anyone is going to shoot it unless they have it out for you personally. Throw on whatever once you load up on the hardeners

I'll just add to the choir singing the song 'Get a large' :-)

No matter how you fit your medium tower it is fast to RF compared to a standard large tower. If your tower holds something of value (faction modules or expensive ships) it will draw attention, and RF'ing a medium is nbd for alot of even the smaller entities in low sec.

Large will mean more fuel. - Maybe not the best choice since you want to save fuel using the faction tower.

Any faction tower that is not a large is a huge target in low sec.

Either use the medium faction tower in high sec or buy a regular medium and keep very few labs on it if you want to use it in low.
