I would be a tad better if 100% hull actually meant 100% hull.

I was just wondering. If someone had a tower under attack in high-sec, could a swarm of neutral logistics come around and keep the tower repped up 23/7 without the attackers being allowed to shoot at them? Are there mercenary corps specialized on repair contracts? I mean, it may gain in demand with the POS placement changes.

Neutral logi will go suspect afaik.

actually its not a bad idea, repping mercenary.

30-40 ISBoxing scimitar accounts can rep a tower fairly quick.

40 Scimis with perfect booster rep 66 mil HP in an hour.
40 Basis with perfect booster rep 99.5 mil HP in an hour.

So a tower can be repped in 20 minutes.

It is only a question of cost then. Miners make 20 mil an hour, so 40 accounts for repping duty are worth 800 mil an hour, minimum +profit, +mark-up for skill requirements and danger, etc.

So roughly 1bn per hour for 40 toons, or 500mil for 20 toons.

Is it worth such money?

Maybe..

The only scenario I'd see them being paid for is to save a tower coming out of RF. Which is going to involve a lot of dead basilisks. thus being expensive for the multiboxer and thus never worth it for the contracting party.

Neutral logi in hisec will go suspect. I've saved two towers this way. Bring more logi than the other side brings ships, hope the closest trade hub doesn't get wind of all the free unarmed targets, and it works just fine.
