Hey there,

I am trying to find a new way for me to make money with my alts, I am strongly thinking of setting a POS and start doing reactions, but from what I have read so far it seems as if it is only viable to too have about 2 toons per pos doing reactions... Am I missing something here? Would it be doable to have 4 toons doing reactions, and also supply all the materials with them. Will most likely be doing this inside a WH if it comes to it.

2 toons to do a reaction at a pos?
4 toons?
what are you talking about?

reactions at pos do not require more or less characters to run. I ran five reaction pos with two characters (one character was only to move fuel for the poses themselves) Reactions at pos do not take up science slots of any kind, nor is there a limit to how many one character can have running.

if its inside a wh you need to have fairly regular runs to major market hubs (if you are doing moon goo as that is not obtainable from wh moons)
If its gas, then the bottleneck is ladar sites and/or how many market trips you want to make.
In general i found that one wh worth of ladars was not enough to keep a reaction going for very long, it was every few weeks that i would put one or another reaction on for a day but not continuous production.

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

I think you're missing some of the basic facts on what reactions are and how they work. Multiple toons will help for the purposes of scouting, not losing your WH, being pos gunners, freightering around on the hisec end. If you don't do a wh then you will need a jumpfreighter and some reason to believe your poses won't instantly be taken down by someone. As for supplying the materials, you buy them from Jita.

Maybe the OP is talking about doing the PI to fuel multiple towers, or about mining WH gas and doing those kinds of reactions?

I ran a Hybrid Polymer POS in a C2 with static C4/hisec using a single character for months. Managing the POS itself takes very little effort once it's up and running. I just brought in a couple ships like an Iteron V, Venture for gas mining, Occator for PI, Miasmos for bringing in gas when I couldn't be arsed to mine, and a Helios for scanning. Hauling in fuel is the single biggest hassle because of the volumes involved.

Otherwise it was pretty easy mode isk. I lost absolutely nothing in the 3 months I did this, except on the very last day when I was unanchoring my tower and some random in a cloaky proteus decided to gank my itty 5 with med gal tower in the hold. -150M. Meh, already replaced.

If you're talking about moon goo reactions, your needs will be a little different. There will be hauling.

Having to scout an entrancr and work around mass limits is a pain. Make friends with a 0.0 corp or rent space. Set up a few poses in sov space (cheaper on fuel this way too), have cyno toons in place and a jf.
