Considering ISK isn't an issue, what would be the best POS setup to deter anyone from trying to attack it?

A shield.

No honestly it won't take much, you wont have to deal with battleships, but lots of ECM is always good. You aren't likely to be attacked anyway.

Caldari POS. Few guns (not missiles). One or two neuts. Rest is ECM.

No one would dare to attack you unless they build capitals inside the system.

Chitsa, what would be few?, in my setup (c3), I have tons on anchored guns ready, in case one get incapacitated, and of course ramdomlyspaced ecm mods around.

Bob Artis, you will be missed.

Even without any defenses bashing a large pos in a c1 with BC down is no fun

I'm thinking of putting Dark Blood Large Tower with enough fuel to last a while and a lot of medium and small lasers + ecm (all faction as well)
Would this be enough?

Yea definitely go all faction. Because nothing offsets the annoyance of a C1 pos bash like an opportunity for overly expensive tears.

Good point.
Maybe just faction tower, or would that be too much as well.

Why bother. Unless you already have one the ROI on faction towers is absurdly long. Standard large amarr with lots of ECM and some guns will be ignored

Nobody is going to attack to kick you out (C1 isn't worth it)

The only other reason would be if they thought there was worthwhile loot (faction mods, labs with juicy bpos)

Or to get a fight. Especially if you build a cap inside and they think they can draw it out.

Honestly you could probably even get away with a medium. I ran a medium minmatar d1ckstar for 8 months without any issue.

Have 4 of each type of ECM online minimum and atleast 4 of each anchored - this is probably one of the scenarios where having sensor damp batteries is useful to as they take up hardly any fitting on the tower and if you have a good number online it will make it even more of a pain to bash with BCs.

as many as you can get online as possible ( mix of all 4 jammers maybe more amarr and cal jammers) then double it and have the extra offline, its so anyoning having to spend ages incapping a mod only for defenders just go ok and onlin e another new one online

I lived out of a defenseless small pos in a c2 for about 3-4 months a while ago, worked fine, only got bashed once. (It survived)

But yeah ecm is gud, should probably do that.

Use a large tower, fill up the stront bay to the max. From there just do a normal POS setup (I prefer **** stars because people hate super ECM jammers).

The biggest deterrent is having a strontium duration that is longer than the duration of a wormhole (24+ hours). This will prevent any roamers from bashing your tower because MOST people don't feel like waiting around for your stront to run out.

If you really **** somebody off, nothing you put down will stop them, so don't worry about that too much.

Thank you for advice everyone. I'll put up a Large Amarr Tower with a full storium bay + shield hardeners + ecm + small & med guns.

No such thing. OP probably popped out a couple times in Amarr space and made an assumption. It'll just be a LS static.
