Hello all,

All pos have a one hour cycling. When a new cycle begin, fuel is consumed, and all reactor/mining engage also a new cycle.

My question is : when does this cycle is set ? When a pos has finished anchoring ? When a pos has been onlined ?

Thank you :)

No idea, but it is easy to find out when the tick happens.

Method `A':
1. Remove all robotics leaving only 23 (for 23 hours).
2. Wait an hour until you get a EVE-mail about low fuel.
3. Put all the robotics back.
4. Note the timestamp on the EVE-mail.
Be sure to warn corp members first that you are doing this, so nobody panics.

Method `B' (most accurate):
1. Open the control tower management window with the fuel amount showing.
2. Activate FRAPS (registered) to capture a movie.
3. Go away for an hour.
4. Stop FRAPS.
5. Fast-forward through the movie and look for when the fuel amount changes.
6. Look at the EVE clock at the bottom left.

Your method A is an excellent idea :)

Thank you :)
