The last time I was involved in a high sec POS bash, it was simply to remove a dead tower from a moon we were wishing to occupy. The owning corp was closed and it was just sitting there inert. We paid the wardec fee and made a party of it. It took a little over 5 hrs to drop with Torp Ravens and SB's to drop the medium "vanilla" tower. If it wasn't sitting on "prime real estate" we wouldn't have bothered.



Interesting, can you remember the number of pilots involved in that?


I couldn't recall the details, so I went back into my killboards and found that I was wrong about a few details.
1) It was in lowsec (0.2) not highsec...
2) It was a small tower not a medium...
3) There were 7 of us involved, 5 in SB's and 2 Ravens... and there was a Crane transport for ammo resupply.

Even in low sec POS bashes are not so common.

No matter where the POS is, taking down a POS is long and boring. Nobody will bother just for fun because it is not fun. It is more boring than mining. unless your POS is in someones way or they are mad at you for something else, there is little chance anyone will bother taking it down. Not to say it will not happen, but you have a good chance of survival. In high sec POS bashes are extremely rare and are almost never random targets.

Most POSes in high sec that are taken down are generally done AFK by large lasers on a groups of BS's and/or BC's. and this is not done on towers that have any chance of defenders showing up.

Thank you for checking, pos bashing is one area I have not been involved with so far, its good to get some figures. And it seems even small pos are a pain to remove without capital support, that explains the offline pos littering high sec.

In hindsight my post should have had more psssshhhh
