I have a high sec POS, a single player corp recently war dec'ed us. I have 16 ECM batteries (4 of each type) 3 Damper batteries, 3 Web batteries and 2 warp distribution batteries. Somehow this single player was able to warp to the POS and incap one of the batteries. How the heck could he do that with so much ewar? This is high-sec, so he isn't using a capital. According to the notifications, he was there for an hour, then left.

A) Shouldn't 16 ECM batteries make it impossible for a single ship to maintain a lock????
B) How did he warp away if he was triple webbed and warp disrupted up to 300km from the tower?

Yes, I am pretty new to POS batteries, had them up for a few months but never got to see them work, being in high sec they are hard to test.



If you put Capital or T2 BPOS in the tower labs the tower cannot be destroyed.

I thought the trolling / scams were supposed to stay in EVE?

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.

If you dident have any guns or dps he prob just sat there pointed with drones.. Read a guide rather then spam the forums with your derp questions..

Simple warp in launch and aggro drones.. go afk..
Come back 2 hrs later MJD away and warp off.. or set an allign and go afk again.. with nothing to kill him who cares if your pointed.. esp in highsec

Large Towers all the way. Lots more options for having a few guns mixed in with your ECM. From the sounds of it the attack happened while you were not logged in / not in system. That can be difficult to deal with, and that's where the large towers come in. The extra padding makes defense a lot easier.

To counter the drone ships, add a couple medium turrets.

To counter the smart bombs, spread out your turrets so that no more that 2 can be hit by large smart bombs, and again, a couple medium turrets.

Pure ECM will only make things take longer, it won't keep you safe forever.

Drone Domi w/MJD. Drop some/all of that EWAR and add some lasers.
