If my corporation in the FW enter our POS in HS can be attacked by enemies? Or HS keeps everyone safe?

You'll be able to be attacked by people in the opposing militia. Though they would be being attacked by the faction navy.

Woo! CSM XI!

That's something I've been thinking about lately. Can a large enough force be assembled to do the necessary damage to a high sec tower, given that an ever-growing fleet in Navy ships would be firing back? Is the Navy damage negligible to a force of enough size to threaten a medium or large POS in high-sec?

I'm wondering about the effectiveness of the Navy fleet given the time it takes to bash a high sec POS...

My advice, if you are worried about the POS, just drop from your corp while you do faction warfare and rejoin later. Yes, the POS *probably* will be okay. But everything the POS was built for will be threatened, whether that's researchers, mining ops, resupply shipments, and they will all be subject to small gang ambushes anytime they move around.

Can you dock up within a POS that is in enemy space and avoid being attacked by Navy?

If it's a small POS, it's very possible that a big enough fleet could kill it. They could reinforce it, wait out the timer, then come back and finish the job. A midsized fleet of BS's and BC's could probably do it -- particularly since a lot of hisec POS's are not configured as deathstars. Lots of them don't even have offensive weaponry, just shield hardeners and maybe some ECM.

I wonder what would happen if you would have your POS up and running (deathstar) then go join opposing factions then jump in system go to pos wonder if faction navy would attack your POS then POS attacks faction navy.

The NPCs will not attack the POS, the POS will not shoot the NPCs, but they can hit the cowards hiding inside the FF.

But I wonder what would happen if somebody uses a POS gun to shoot at a NPC... Pirate

Yes, I have also wondered if you would get concorded if you aimed the POS guns at a non-war target and fired. It is a little too expensive to try it out as an experiment.

When I tried a long time back (i'm talking 2008 here) It won't let you shoot a non-war or legal target. You'll simply get an error message.

As for the OP, chances are if you place your POS in an backwoods system in highsec it is unlikely that an enemy force large enough would even bother to go after it. In FW it is always more appealing to go after lowsec towers as you don't have to deal with the NPC navy, plus you can use dreads and such.

Now if you set up a highsec dickstar then chances are it would be unlikely an enemy force will be able to crack it before the npc navy can weaken them.

Worst case it gets reinforced, and you leave FW until it comes out and you can repair it.

(You can leave FW immediately whenever you want, right?)

you should contact bad messanger, He and the PERVS set a POS in GAL high sec then had the corp join Caldari FW. Tthey had it there for like a week it caused alot of flac but he would be able to tell you what the NPC's will behave like. AS for the original
post, the tower should be fine as long as you make it a **** star, in a system that isn't in a main-line pipe. To answer the other guy it use to take 24hrs to get out of faction war.

Yes it can and yes we will. High sec keeps noone in FW safe.

Not an FW kill but a corp we wardecced recently that held a POS in Minmatar high sec. The principle is the same. FW is an open war dec to any member of the opposing faction so I can shoot you and your POS anywhere in any system without incurring CONCORD.

As a sworn enemy of the Minmatar Republic I will always be attacked by the Navy in Minmatar high sec but it is possible to tank this if you know how (as you can see from the number of kills our alliance racks up in Hek). The only rule is that you cannot agress neutrals (then CONCORD will intervene). Finally, yes, you can dock in Minmatar high sec stations.
