Corp standings and High sec POS

I have some question on the above topic that needs a bit of outlining...

I know that to deploy a POS in high sec you need at least 5.0 corp standings with the appropriate faction.
I also know that the corp faction standing is an average of all members who have standings with that faction, have been in the corp for 7 days.
Lastly I know that the average does not adjust instantly when someone leaves, but adjusts over the course of days.

Knowing this, my questions are as follows.

If I am the only corp member with high enough standings, then the others that contribute to the standing need to leave so standings can increase and the POS be anchored, correct?

Secondly, Will they have to leave until after the standings have gone up and the tower is anchored? or can they leave an immediately rejoin due to the 7day delay in their standing contribution?

And Lastly...
Is it only the Control Tower that needs the high standing to be anchored? or does the anchoring of all the other structures need the same standing?


I realize these are very specific questions and I'd be very grateful for any help as no where else seems to make clear exactly what I need to know.

Yes, they need to leave for your standings to go up.

Have them stay out about a week your standings go up/

Once you anchor the POS you are good to go.

They can rejoin and you can anchor modules as needed.

The POS will remain once anchored even if your standings fall to 0.

@Pewty McPew has it spot on although I believe booting them for one downtime would be enough but that would give you limited time to anchor the POS if anything goes wrong getting them to leave and rejoin after the pos is anchored / 7 days makes sense.

I would just add it would probably be worth getting your corp mates to grind standings also or run the cosmos missions because if you ever need to anchor anothe POS you will need to boot them again. POS are like chocolates... One is never enough

I thought that was potato chips?

Also note there are Corp forming/boosting and POS anchoring services available giving you instant access to dozens of corps/stations for jump clines/missioning agents etc.

You pull out all isk except their fee, make them CEO, everyone leaves corp, a week later you rejoin.
Your POS is anchored and you have standings for a week to install jump clones wherever you can, get research/mission agents you didn't have access to, join FW, etc.

My alts corpmate does this. He is 9.93 with caldari state and 10.0 with caldari navy and a few other corps.

Thanks for the offer Pewty, but my standings are sufficient, it's my corp mates which are the issue haha.

As for wanting more POS are concerned, I figure 1 high sec POS will tide us over till we are ready for lower Sec, but one step at a time!

Corp standings are adjusted at DT. Once someone leaves, it's 24H + a DT. They can immediately rejoin, as those standings take 7 days + DT to count again. If you want to be safe, don't let them rejoin until their name is gone from the list in the standings.

You only need standings to anchor the control tower, after that you can change modules at will.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

You can always anchor more than one tower even if you are not going to use them all to start off with. Then if in the future one tower is not enough, on-line another.

Sorry, but another thought just occurred to me... If the member with the high standing were to leave and form their own corp, would the new corp's standings immediately equal his? or would it still take several days to increase?

It would require a period of time to raise... it did not take long with my corp. Quicker than it used to take.

Standings is for the tower's anchoring, not the structures. People need to leave for 7 days and stay gone for 7 days. Then you can anchor the towers. Then people can re-join, and it will take 7 days for the corp to adjust the average standing again, giving you a 7 day "window" to continue to anchor towers.

Note that absolutely none of this is necessary in low sec. However of course your POS can/will be attacked by low sec corps and alliances. Unless you figure out which alliance owns which piece of low sec and negotiate "renting" a moon. This can be done and it's much cheaper than you think. No standings hassles. Ability to anchor nicer POS modules AND moon mine. And although the low sec people will not "protect" your tower (the fee is usually for leaving it alone), low sec itself is enough protection. High sec war deccers never go to low sec...

Another option is to just have the Anchoring character leave. I find it easier to shuffle the Anchoring Characters and have yet to see a need to have a POS up for more than a month so gutting an active corp is never really worth it.
