You need four silos. Each silo only has one input and one output. Not 100% sure about the rest so I'll someone else take it ;)

for #2, anything that needs CPU to be onlined (e.g. assy arrays, labs, ewar, hardeners) will be offlined, and cannot be onlined until such time that the POS comes out of RF'd.

While in RF'd the POS cannot be targeted, and the shields are locked at 25%. Once the RF timer expires, the shields will recharge at their normal rate. You cannot re-stront a POS until it has 50% or more shield HP.

Last I knew, you cannot take from a silo while the tower is reinforced.

there will be -- it's called "the other guys have to grind through the last 25% of the POS bubble".

Granted, you have to be *GOOD* on the timing, because if they bring caps, you're looking at a relatively short timeframe (on the order of 30 minutes or less). If they only have battleships, well, it'll take a good deal longer.

In order to best defend against this eventuality (i.e. keep people from screwing with you the first weekend the tower goes up...), the following modules will go far in keeping smaller groups from harassing you.

1. Shield Hardeners. Preferably 9, in a 3,3,2,1 configuration, fit to your tower's resists (i.e. the two at 0% get the 3 hardeners each, 25% gets 2, and 50% gets 1). If you can't fit this after the reactors and stuff, then 5 in 2/2/1/0 formation.
2. Guns -- lots of them, to the point of leaving offlined extras hanging there. If you're running an amarr tower, lasers. Projectile on anything else. Large guns are "OK" but really only good at hitting slow/stationary targets (i.e. dreads and/or webbed BS ... but even webbed BS are hard for these to hit).
3. Ewar -- Scrams, Webs, and jamming modules. There are other modules that can be useful, but aren't 100% necessary.

In addition to these POS modules, the following ships/skills are very helpful in keeping things alive.

1. Osprey (and or whatever the Minmatar one is)
2. Shield Emission systems
3. Exequror/Aurgoror
4. Remote Armour and Remote Hull Repair
5. Energy Emission Systems
6. Skills that are high enough to provide cap stable (or stable with remote energy coming in) shield/armour/hull repair ships (should be cruiser 3 and remote repair 3, assuming you already have 5/5 capacitor skills)

They will most likely not save the POS against a coordinated attack, but you'll be able to do any needed repairs to the guns that get incap'd. If you have Ospreys when you're setting the tower up, you'll be able to help give it a kickstart in the shield dept (all POS start at 50% shields, and regen up to 100% over a 24 hour period).
