One more item of note, it's mostly ECM (6x of each type) and then guns onlined to fit (beam/pulse small/meds only).

What are the recommended guns?



Don't take this the wrong way but you are being WAY too soft,This is eve if someone accidental decloacks near your pos you blow them up regardless of "peaceful" intentions. Don't worry about provoking people no one will bother if your pos kills their ship because they are retards anyhow for decloaking near a pos in something that doesn't warp away fast enough.


I don't think we are talking apples and apples...if my corp sets a trap, the only mistake would be warping to the moon from any aligned celestial to be decloaked (aligned bubbles at optimal range of guns with cans to force decloak).

I completely understand the point of "make it as dangerous as possible" however, here is the current logic: My corp is a small industrial corp. Say someone from [insert any big wormhole PvP corp/alliance here] comes to checkout the POS and is promptly decloaked/popped by the "POS Trap"...all of a sudden we antagonized someone large enough that maybe inclined to come remove our industrial corp from the hole. Now, say that same pilot shows up on a d*!kstar and is simply annoyed due to guns/ECM/hardeners and warps off to find some more fruitful PvP elsewhere. Note, we are a corp focused on maximizing profits - not PvP.

I know it sounds "soft" to some but in our opinion it's a tactic to protect profits.



speaking for one of the larger corps in wh space i can say fairly certainly if someone from our corp got decloaked and killed by a pos we really wouldnt care. Thats part of wh space. If on the other hand you dont set you pos up to kill stuff some one will most likely take advantage of that fact

most of the bigger corps dont hit pos's cos some one screwed up got decloaked and get popped, On the other hand we have hit a fair few towers as soon as we realised they wont shoot back.


confirming this. we would also make fun of him for the next few months untill he did something else equally stupid

just online some scrams webs and small guns. if someone takes a shot at your pos, ignore it. if they really want to do damage, your pos should be able to kill them as fast as possible.

ps: big alliances/corps dont care about c1 pos attacks. thats like work. come to think of it, save for a few noone in wh space likes anything related to POS

Agreeing with everyone here, scram and blow up anything you can. Why would you leave a potential active scout in your system if you can pop them? It won't antagonize anyone because its expected, and is a mistake on their part that they'll probably laugh at. A large POS in a C1 is too much of a pain to bother with anyway.

... and if your POS is configured to shoot everything with sanding < 0.1, you get realy entertaining kill mails now and then.

This is truth. We would also laugh at the member.

Improperly set up POS are the trigger for evictions so fix this. And a POS not firing back at all? Hilarious to the attackers, and simply broadcasts incompetency. I realize yours is configured to attack, but just sayin' in general.

When 3 or 4 guys plinking away in T3 BC's for a while can take down a POS, you are eventually doomed. However, if your POS is properly set up (good gun mix, ECM, warp disruption, neuts), that requires a more thought-out fleet, and the effort is not something most people are interested in putting forth without a damn good reason (Caps sitting in the POS shields or smack talk).

Yes, if you have to ask yourself the question, just assume we are watching you...
