I'm sure there's a guide to this somewhere but I can't find it; if it does exist a link would suffice.

I've got a large Caldari POS and a griefdec. I wish to protect the former from the latter.

What gun/ewar/hardener setup should I use? What skills do I need to make everything work?

Thanks for your help

Hardeners, alot of Hardeners, some Warp Scrams and as many ECM Batteries as you can pack on it.
Its called Dickstar and is really annoying.

Otherwise, you can build a Deathstar with EWAR (read ECM), Warp Scrams and Guns.

All the POS guides are old AND incomplete/full of errors. Atm you're on your own (I'm writing a new one... Just tell your "griefers" to stay calm a few weeks ! P )

Example

Full ECM dickstars don't work at all (a disco domi will **** it).
You need a very high EM res, then THERM, then EXPLO. Almost nobody will shot a POS with KIN.
This POS will buy you time, but you will need a few combat ships... If you're looking for a POS that can defend itself, 1) it doesnt exist 2) it would be a matar one (or an amarr tower). Caldari's arent made to stop people.

Skills needed : anchoring lvl3. Forget about POS gunning.

if it's in highsec just online a bunch of hardeners and ECM batteries, nobody will bother it.

Cruise and Torpedo launchers. No fleet can fight that setup in highsec. As I assume you are a Caldari character and have good missile skills; you should be fine. You're POS missile batteries will improve with your missile SP, so you will do big damages and kill hundreds of the enemy. You will blot out the sun with your missiles.

Awesome advice there. Call me when you actually find someone with that setup. I'll bring the popcorn & Skittles.

Couldn't disagree with you more. I've killed fleets with myself and an alt or two manning a medium deathstar. Focusing ewar/webs/neuts/damage where it needs to go will go miles when defending a POS.
