How much CPU and how many refineries in a POS?

We're adjusting our tower for additional refining capabilities, and it seems there's no limit on the CPU. Currently up to 10,000tf on an Amarr tower. How high can we go?

If that is real and not photo shopped it looks like you have a bugged POS. Keep it a secret or you will loose it.

I am sure taking advantage of such a bug would be considered an exploit.

Photoshopped? No.

Exploit? Hardly - we can't even tell what's using what right now. Just huge amounts of CPU and Power being consumed is all we know...and I'd rather know our consumption, than see this silliness. We've already filed a detailed bug report, as well as a petition (which has been updated 5x's now), and continue to wait for a followup from CCP. Maybe we're being ignored because this is an intended game mechanic in wspace?

Naming your POS ''HAL 9000'' gives you unlimited CPU duh, I thought everyone new this?

Naming your POS ''CCP Spitfire'' gives you 10% extra shield,

Naming your POS ''CCP Vincent'' gives a bonus to all lab copying and invention jobs.

There are a few other one's but I've forgot.

Huge thanks to GM Ninjaprate, GM Huginn, GM Spiral, and a mysterious trainee - for spending the combined ~7 hours with our corpmates and myself to sort and cleanup the wonky tower.

Yes, But if your POS was bugged so that you could add unlimited modules without ever maxing it out, and you took advantage of that to create a POS with defense and output far beyond what should be possible that would be considered exploiting the bug.

Aside from that, glad to hear you go it cleaned up, and sorted out. Good thing this didn't happen when higher CPU meant more LO fuel. What would th LO fuel required be for 10 mil CPU??
