Loot an abandoned POS?

So... Let's say you're roaming a far away corner of lo-sec and you come across what appears to be an abandoned POS. An offline tower with various hangers, arrays and weapon batteries sits there naked and begs you to scan its contents... Behold! - A mini-fortune awaits the ambitious capsuleers who can crack it's shell...

But seriously, can a guy (or a fleet...) just bash the anchored structures like a pinata and start picking up the candy? How much of that loot typically drops from the hangars, maintenance arrays, mobile labs, silos... If any?

Once the tower is toast, is it possible to reclaim the various weapon and defense batteries.? Without blowing them up first I mean.

Thanks all,

Ghost

Once the tower is destroyed, everything can be unanchored and scooped.

The effective hit points of POS modules, aside from defensive modules are negligible, a single destroyer can pop a lab in a minute or two.

You would be amazed with what people will stash in their space castle.

Kill the modules, forget the tower. Unanchoring mods destroys everything inside.

Be sure NOT to shoot any modules you want to unanchor. You can't unanchor anything that has armor or hull damage. You'd have to rep it first.

Also, be sure to kill anything that might contain loot... SMAs, CHAs, reactors... since you lose everything inside if you unanchor it.

Then again, there's no need to kill the tower if it's offline, unless you want to claim the moon for yourself. Just go straight for the loot pinata modules.

Note that if you destroy the tower you cant anchor one in that spot till everything has been destoyed, even 1 mod left over stops you from putting a new one up
