Alright so I learned in EvE many years ago that you don't go out and try stuff without counsel. That being said I would like to build a large POS to do reactions in. I would like to build it in a C1 or C2. I would like to have enough assets to run two simple reactors at once. A place to park ships and of course a corporate hangar array. There exact composition of the remaining CPU and grid I am curious as to how it should be used. Whether dickstar or deathstar or otherwise. http://eve.1019.net/pos/

Is what I have been using to plan. I suppose if it is in a C1 the largest critters I would have to defend from would be battlecruisers. I will have 2 characters with Starbase defense managment trained to V. I have 1 Bill to spend. Go!

The is counsel and then there is do it for me cause I'm too lazy. This seems less like the former and more like the latter.

I have built several POSs with the app - I was just using the forums for advice as to how not build the well known failstar.

Step one. Chose one of the two, **** or death:

If ****:

Get a crapton of ecm batteries, at least 2x what you can have online at a time. Distribute them more or less evenly between the four races.

If death:

Get a load of batteries, either amarr or minmatar guns seems to be the choice of the year. Set these up to hit at variety of ranges either by having different types or mix up the ammo types or both.

In both cases:

Hardener, get every resist to > 50%. This means having one or two hardener for each damage type. You may have these offline but anchored ready to be onlined.

Return **** or deathstar

Ammo does not matter when it comes to range or tracking. Can be confirmed by CCP.

Alternate design is hardstar - resists ~70-80%, around 5 of each jammer type and some small, medium guns + assorted ewar.
Have 2 neuts offline just in case - works best when a group of pos gunners are active

Thanks for all the good intel - I will be sure to employ it. I did get intel that C1 wh space was a touch safer because dreads (or BS's for that matter) can't be steppin on you as they can in low and null sec. Null sec is filled with drama 9/10 times. Low sec is filled with sociopaths. WHs are filled with stealthy people. Everywhere you can build a POS there be danger. Just trying to mitigate that as best as possible. I shall need to find a corp when I get back stateside as well. This Afghanistan place sucks for internets.
