Just recently started trying to set up siphons on some enemy towers in NPC space near our home as something challenging to to do in my spare time.

Does anyone have any experienc with these and tricks that can be done with them? I have 2 of them set up on a tower and was surprised to find out they both worked but I cont tell if its diminishing returns or not and if its even worthwhile.

Just looking for some tips for anyone who has made a successful hobby out of this.

Much thanks in advance

Dev Blog: Siphon Units in Rubicon

Siphon units can screw someone up if they're running reactions because they probably have everything optimized. 100 units harvested per hour, and 100 units consumed by reactions. If they get less than 100 units for long enough, you could wear down their buffer and force reactions to slow down, harming their income.

I'm new to siphon units. How do you anchor one at a hostile POS? I see that the POS won't target the siphon unit, but how do you deploy one without getting popped?

You're young, you'll adjust. I'm old, I'll get used to it.

You deploy it and warp away
