May ECM ships forever be the answer to the question " Is solo pvp a good thing?".

Look up deathstar pos's on google. Basically you should not be able to see inside the force field due to how many guns are anchored. Although it really doesn't matter if there are any guns, because it will get blown up by a capital fleet. And capitals are not even tickled by pos guns.

Your main defense will be stront to buy you time to ask your alliance to defend your pos after being reinforced.

I would highly, highly, suggest not dealing with supercapitals. I do not know your background, but it is highly unlikely you have the alliance / isk / skills / knowledge / time to pull this off.

If this is your question you haven't even started the research needed to pull this off.
The destruction of supers in build is a highly desired goal in eve. Entire fleets of dreads /BS / carriers and supers will be sent to destroy these things. The big players build their own supers and so every super built by outsiders will be used by their foes or people that might become their foes. They do not tolerate this.
You will think you can hide it somewhere but i have to tell you even a small non sov holding alliance like mine has entire regions of moons mapped and dscans of the equipment inside saved. Cloaky ships are monitoring activity of multiple POS's and who goes to them, at what time and why.
If your alliance is not able to summon 250 people minimum for a CTA to defend then don't even think about it. If they can do this then why are you asking here and painting a big target on yourself?

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

Perhaps ask around your alliance? I assume you're in an alliance since the array where supercaps are built requires sov to anchor...

I wish I could like this more than once.


Asking your alliance folks will be nearly required so go see them.

A POS with CSAA doesn't have a fitting, because it doesn't matter what you fit on them.

Typically there will be two CSAA and that's really all. They use a lot of power and CPU. Throw on shield hardeners if any room left.

Not sure if serious...

I'm not a big fan of this, but it applies here: If you have to ask on the forum you shouldn't be doing it...

ahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

The standard setup involves about a dozen accounts, several freighters and JFs, the full support of a major sov-holding alliance, and your build location is going to be out in the ass-end of nowhere, as many jumps as possible away from npc null or other hostile entities. Also like 100bn isk and at least 4 months to kill.

Maybe start with regular capitals.

The question was about caps not supercaps. Caps can be constructed in LS station, can't they?

Normal caps can indeed be built in lowsec station, however

So either miss-spelt super capitals, or dinner for a capital.

You need to really wine-and-dine an avatar. Ragnaroks are a much cheaper date, they're practically yours for a sack of sliders from whitecastle.

CSAA requires sovereign space in nulsec. That means you will be building for one of three entities: CFC, Stainwagon, or N3/PL.

I hear PL needs more titans. huehuehue

Contact an industrial corp in one of those coalitions if you want to build supers/titans. Be prepared to invest a metric-****-tonne of isk for BPOs, POS equipment, and minerals.

Stuff needed for the POS:
Capital Ship Assembly Array
XL Ship Maintenance Array.
Cynonsural System Jammer.

Sample configuration (to make a proper dickstar needs about 60-80 more weapon and about 20 ewar batteries, but they'll be offline due to power grid requirements). Optional could be sensor damps/ECM to specifically target logi as you target and pop logi.

Powergrid will be your limiting factor, so you probably will be forced to use Amarr due to them having the most power grid.
The XL SMA must be put online before you "deliver' the super cap. One recent super was allegedly lost due to someone offlining the wrong thing while drunk. Or not. Supposedly it was replaced. Or not.

Stuff needed for the system:
Sovereignty.
Infrastructure Hub
People willing to show up in a very large fleet to defend your POS.

Upgrades needed for the IHub:
Supercapital Construction Facilities
Cynosural Suppression (or you won't have a POS)

Skills you need:
Capital Construction 5
Starbase Defense Management (preferably 5 and as many folks in your corp with that skill also). When attacked, you'll be onlining the weapon batteries as fast as they get destroyed and you'll want to take over the firing of the weapons.

He said he was making supper capitals, so I thought this was a cooking thread.

All joking aside op, these guys are just trying to scare you off to minimize competition. There are so many moons in Eve and no one is paying attention to 95% of them. I suggest you just go all out on this project and put up like 12 POSes for this project. You won't need many guns either. You'll make a killing if you just throw all of your wealth at this project at once. In the unlikely event one POS is lost, the others will more than make up for it.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

I think your numbers are skewed a bit.
