Ignore Jessica. Any gun will work. Blaster batteries, lasers, citadel torps.

If you are owning a station fitting guns is impossible
If you own a POS (Control Tower) then you can add guns and helpfull defense modules

Diffrent races have diffrent towers and these have diffrent bonuses

Caldari has missile and ecm bonus
Amarr has laser bonuses
Gallente has a bonus on hybrid weapons
Minmatar has bonus on projectile weapons

Its better to use the gun type corresponding to the tower

Also a good idea is to use support modules like

Warp scrambler batterys
Warp disrupt batterys
Ecm batterys
Sensor disruption batterys
Webifier batterys
Energy neutrilization batterys
Wie
Defensive modules like shield hardeners are helpfull too

If your tower is in highsec dont fit large guns because they dont work as good on smaller targets than capital ships


Mix your fit dont use only long range or short range use them both
Dont fit only small guns use mediums too
Dont forget support modules scram web ecm ect.

Anchoring :
Get the guns in your cargo go to your pos right click gun in your cargo and then click
Launch for corperation after you done this right click the gun in space then click anchor
Drag the wapon in position and right click one of the arrows and anchor
After you ancored right click and online the weapon

Dont forget to fill your guns with ammo whithout they are useless
Try to cover all ranges with gun and ammo combination
Guns use normal ammo such as the ships do
You can use faction ammo to get more dps

Anchor your guns smart not on only one side
One group over one group under the other groups around the force field

Apparently your question was answered...

(though, IDK if it's right ... don't have any outpost owning experience)

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

if you want guns on your outpost/station, deploy players in ships, thats the only way. it seems only empire station owners have figured out the voodoo magic needed to place guns outside their stations.

I do recall reading a couple years ago, where the developers talked about allowing sov holding alliances to anchor guns at outposts and stargates in the systems they hold sov in. The same blog discussed the possibility of allowing multiple outposts in the same system. (it may have been CSM minutes I do not recall where I read it)

To bad it never made it into the game.

this was brought up in 2006, 2008, 2010... and not to long ago in the last expansion... but i have to agree with the people saying that its not possible with current game mechanics.
