Ok mechanic wise I'm not sure if this would work but here goes. You first have a high sec pos set up, arm it with artys for high alpha, you have one guy manning the guns. You get an alt to convince someone in local to warp to them(sitting 50km off tower) tower locks them up and one shots them. Now could easily work with miners promising them fleet bonuses warp a cloaky to there belt and warp fleet option to tower, not sure how the whole concord thing will work out but this was just an idea that popped in my head while sitting at work, opinions? Comments?

POS's take a looong time to lock; this is easier to do in a wormhole. We used to have a guy with us (bit of an *******, but that's another story) who would convince newer players in battleships to enter a wormhole with him to run sites. Then he'd fleet warp them to his POS and scram him with his own ship long enough for his POS to lock them up as well. You get a killmail out of this method as well.

Didn't know poses took that long to lock, and what about afk ice miners? Could still be used on them, any idea what concord's response would be to something like this?

In highsec the tower won't do something that causes a GCC if my memory serves me correctly

Even if the control tower's guns are being controlled? That pilot can't use them to create a gcc? Also this is a stupid question for someone who has been playing as long as I have but what are the chances of attacking and killing a concord or faction navy ship?

You're right, that is a stupid question.

Destroyers, Cruisers and battlecruisers are cheaper, more agile and easier to setup the a POS...

pos guns can't be controlled in highsec because of this

Find a low sec system that has people passing through, drop a pos (might need to be .3 or lower), death star it up, pick a spot and drop a bunch of cans around, light cyno when some one enters local. Log on your pos gunner. Tackle guy that came to kill your "JF" (make sure they can't use directional scan or float one) and laugh.

And you are a dumb-dumb boo-boo head. CONCORD can't be tanked/killed, but Navy ships can.

I used to tank CONCORD, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

I fully expect one of those jokes to make it into the newspapers before next week.

This means stop using them they're old.
