So.

I am bashing an offline POS in high sec as they are all littered with offline ones Ugh and wondered how the mechanics work as its something ive never done before. I have usually just followed an FC and blapped a POS with all the rest and not really give much thought to offline ones.

1. do the shields regen or reset after DT?
2. can the pos be popped stright away seen as its offline?

3. Can CCP nuke all the offline pos's in high sec or change it so they unanchor by default after a set period of days/months???

It's been a while since I've attacked the Tower of an offline POS...

I believe the shields continue to naturally regen... As such, you need to bring enough dps to power through the shield regen when bringing down the POS. If you leave and come back, it will have gained some shield back, but it takes a while to regen "all" the shields back.

If the POS is offline, there is no RF cycle to worry about... so yes.... you can pop it in one attack...

You can petition to have a tower removed... and CCP will occasionally just remove a tower from space under "special" circumstances. Those circumstances include disbanded/inactive corps, among other tings.

People have requested changes to the tower mechanics, and you should do a forum search, specifically in Features and Ideas or the Assembly Hall to look at player suggestions.... Then comment with support if you like it...

The two Common Proposals fall into:
1.) Reducing their HP: Like Offline towers should have 0 shields...
2.) Tower Hacking.... Allow people to "hack" a tower, and thereby take control of it.
