Ive seen this on both friendly and hostile POS's, they will not shoot at pilots that are over 200km away even when those pilots are shooting the POS mods. WHY is this happenning, POS mods are supposed to have an activation range of like 300km.

AFAIK ...

POS towers still obey the 249km hard limit lock range (from the tower itself).

But yeah sounds strange if the POS wepaons with range enough aren't shooting ships firing on the tower (that must be within 249km).
Assuming ammo and stuff - it is probably a bug - try petitioning it.

Are the ECM mods offline by chance?

I'm not ********, yes they are online. additionally the attackers are neutral to the alliance, and the tower is set to use alliance standings and attack if standings are lower than 4.9

I would imagine the extra range is to allow modules on the far side of the POS to engage as well

Well yes that POS is gone. question remains as to why modules did not engage targets, especially the ECM batteries doing absolutely nothing. Petition has been sent in but still no response :\

problem is that even if that is true it still does not explain why ECM mods did not engage ships even when the ships were at 0 on the modules.
