Annoying subject line aside, I am curious about using a PoS for industry stuff in 0.0. I've been looking at the modules I can anchor at a tower like manufacturing and refining but I have a few questions before I give this a whirl. The refining is the big one, if the refining module for a tower says mineral multiplier .75 does that mean it's going to have a 25% waiste and that my refining skills have no effect on it?

I guess the TL DR version is this...What are the pros and cons of using a PoS in 0.0 for manufacturing and refining?

A quick forum search or goggle would have answered this but, yes a POS refining array will have 25% waste not matter how good your skills are, they will however process ICE at 100%.

They are very rarely used as with good skills even a 35% refinery can get over 98%. They only place I have seen them used is in wormholes but even then most corp will build a roqual and compress the ore to ship out for refining before reprocessing in the hole with 25% waste.

Also the advanced ship assembly array are equally useless due to there increased material costs. most manufacturing in done in stations. High sec POSes are mostly used for research and invention. Anything else can be done cheaper in stations.

Okay I don't really care about the highsec stuff as this is in 0.0. I guess I will just have to haul the minerals then from the refinery station to the factory station for construction. Gonna need some bigger ships :P
