Just wondering, if you attack a pos that has a couple scram batterys will they still cycle on and off , or would a single ship pretty much be locked down the whole time?

thx

Automatic defense will cycle between multiple targets randomly. If there's no one else you will be targeted continuously.
A viable tactic is to send in some guys in rifters to draw fire and then follow with some big guns to take out the warp batteries.
If the POS has a gunner present things are different of course.

You don't need a POS gunner (the skillset) to point scrams at someone; you just need the role within the corp. i.e. a day old alt can point the EWAR at you.

You only need the skills trained for pointing the guns on a target.

I'm not sure I buy that... Pretty sure I've tried before. Almost worth installing sisi to test though. (also on my to do list for sisi POS tests is to try to get concorded while controlling guns.)

Maxim 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

I can point scrams on this character - it has anchoring I
If that's not the case, it has changed very recently.


As for CONCORD - you simply can't shoot a non WT in highsec, it doesn't let you.

EDIT: I will retract my comment about POS EWAR and the roles until I have re-tested it.
