Imagine you were to shoot a pos corp hanger or lab, or whatnot.

Would these drop the contained items?

I've been looking left right and center and come up with a lot of conflicting results.
Honestly I do not think they do, but may be wrong.

Please reply and give me the source of your information.

Thank you

Shoot the modules: NO drops. It will be destroyed.


Shoot the tower and then scoop the modules: YES. you also get what is in the CHA / Labs / Silos

No source other then own personal experience Lol

Hang on, from experience i know thta you get a warning popup saying that if you unanchor, the contents will get destroyed. Did they change that? If so, when?

Yes. Same drop rules as for ships.

You have a choice: unanchor and lose the contents, or destroy and take a chance something will drop.

You are better-off unanchoring labs if there is a station in the system.

Then go to the test server, setup a pos, and test it yourself.

The only current limit on drop is that it must fit in a jetcan (27,000 m3).

Nope, you said that shooting the mods will drop stuff, but destroy the mods,

J'poll stated that looting the mods will get you both the mods and the stuff in them.

Which is kind of saying like fire and ice are the same thing :p.

Don't get me wrong I appreaciate the willingness to help, but you are saying different thing.

I probably will end up testing it myself anyhow, it's just such a hassle.

Labs and assembly arrays and corporate hangars have drops, if they contain anything.

Turrets and missile launchers do not.

Ship maintenance arrays do not have drops.

No idea about silos or reactors.

Other modules do not hold anything, so of course they don't have drops.

Drops must fit into a jetcan.

Last time I unanchored modules (long time ago), I got a pop-up that the contents would be destroyed.

You have much the same issue I have. I believe all the above is correct: but in my case as well it was a long time ago. So I'm not sure if they changed it. Especially as I do see several varying opinions.

I guess the only real solution would be to test this out in sisi. IT's just gonna be a mayor hassle to set up. :p

Every POS shoot I have ever been on they kept anything that is silo/hanger/lab to see if repackaging it would cause anything to drop.

I do recall shooting a silo and it dropping a can, and so we grabbed the stuff. But my memory is a bit unreliable.

You might be better off asking this question in the wormhole section as those guys blow up POS'es all the time. Big smile

Tau I recall shooting an SMA and having ships come flying out of it. As I recall one was a noctis...

After testing these are my conclusions:

Mods (labs, corp hangers, silos) that contain items drop them in a can.
Killing a ship bay will drop the ships.
unanchoring these modules will destroy the items inside.


Not sure about guns dropping ammo, didn't test that.

*Shrugs*, may just be on sisi.

Edit, or may just be that I tested it with frigates
