Let me know if this is the wrong subforum, any similar threads I found are here.

We recently poped an enemy control tower, and proceded to attempt to loot the other structures laying around. However, when I try to unanchor them, I get "The Mobile Hybrid Sentry cannot do that at this time as it is currently incapacitated.". Of course it's incapacitated, since we killed the control tower. What am I doing wrong?

if it has armour or structure damage you need to repair it before you can unanchor. most people just shoot these modules as repping them takes ages.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

As above: repair the module's armour and structure before unanchoring (destroys contents), or just destroy it (and get a chance at something dropping if it holds anything). You don't have to repair the module's shield.

I though that as of Rubicon, repping the armour was no longer necessary (their hull is at 100). Do I need to rep all 100k armour?

Got a question in the same vein,
So, if you destroy a control tower of a POS that has, say, a large ship assembly array currently operating. Say for instance it was making dominix battleships, whatever. Would the blueprint and materials potentially drop once it’s been unanchored? Or would it all vanish?

The BPO returns to where it was when the job was submitted. If that is in the array, then it has a chance to drop, but most smart industrialists will do remote research & manufacturing, and leave the BPO in the relative safety of a corporate hangar in a station in the same system as the POS.

The materials associated with the job are lost. Anything in the array's storage has a chance to drop.

There is mention of this in the EVE University Wiki, stating that it was tested on SiSi, but I haven't yet found confirmation that it made it to TQ.

EDIT: May be related to SMA loot drop changes, but still looking.
