:facepalm:

The fuel blocks a tower consumes are based on the tower's race, not where it is, in the same way as the use different isotopes now.

So your shadow towers use gallente fuel (oxygen isotopes) and your DG tower will use caldari fuel (nitrogen isotopes).

My first guess would be that the towers have retained their racial fuel requirements (whic type of ice fuel they need to run) as the fuel blocks are composed of the same items that were required to run the POS.

In short a Gallente tower will require a Gallente fuel block because the block is composed of the ice that Gallente towers need.

Looking at your situation, simpy swap the blocks you are using the Shadow and Gal based Dread tower> Shadow needs Gall blocks, Dread needs Caldari.

I think you confusion stems from the fact that location makes a difference regarding Starbase charters, but not fuel blocks

Hope this answer is ok, apopolgies if I'm barking up the wrong Control Tower

Funny that ppl have expensive Faction PoS'es but did not know which fuel they need.
Normally the fuel u need should be shown in Information Window.

It's a bit concerning, actually.

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

Indeed quite concerning. Rich people should be omniscient



or at least be able to figure out that since there are four racial towers (plus pirate variants), and four racial blocks where the only difference is the isotope going in (Hydrogen, Oxygen, Helium, Nitrogen) that the towers are still tied to certain racial fuels...

There are people in eve who get their kicks from killing you

They are, statistically much better at killing you than you are at not being killed
