Hey,

Im not really able to set up a Pos, but i wanna know more about the whole thing because the concept sounds really interesting.
so i did read some stuff about pos setups in the wiki and there are some things that confuse me a lot and i would highly appreciate if you could answer me thoses 5 question.

1. You set the Tower Defense Settings - now i read in Highsec you should only activate "attack on war" - which makes sense.
But what do you do in low sec ?
Concord aint gonna help you, they only help you at Gates/Stations.
So it would make sense that in System < 0.5 you set the Pos to Attack everything.
But what if a Neutral Person flys by ? he will get shot, for no direct reason, if he dies, what happens ? Didnt my Pos kinda do a Criminal act in that Moment ? But Concord doesnt come in these systems, so what are the Consequences ? So whats the best way to set up the Tower Defence Settings in low-sec then ?

2. Im kinda confused by the way you set up your pos. So basicly if you only have a small industrial, you would put the Tower and some fuel and Strontium in your cargo, fly somewhere anchor the tower, the timer starts, but you can only put the fuel in after the timer is finished right ?
so you fly away, once the tower is anchored, you put the fuel in it and put it online ?
can you place Turrets or other stuff while the tower is getting anchored ?

3. moon taken ? This is something that is really Strange. So lets say i warp to a Moon, and theres already a Pos. Cant i just fly 500 km or a few 1000 or 2000 km to the left and build a Pos there ?
Or can there really be only 1 pos per moon ? What if they moved it many Km away, then i cant even tell if its taken without scanning ?

4. Silos, items, ammo Mixing
So lets say i have a tower. 1 Moon Harvester, 1 Silo, 1 Ship Maintance Bay and 10 Turrets.
Do i have to put the Turret amo in the Turrets ? or in the Silo ?
Can i put items in the Silo even tho the Moon Harvest put its Harvestet Items in there ?
Can i also put ammo and fuel and ships in the Silo ? or is there no Item Mixing ?
And does Turrets or the Tower take there Ammo or Fuel out of that Silo ?

5. this is kinda a dumb question but yeah.
So lets say you set your pos up that it Attacks everything. If you now leave your ship and kinda park it there inside the bubble, or outside if you cant park them inside, and its proteced more or less by your pos. How long will it stay there ? I mean is there a decay ? Or does it vanish after a downtime ? or does it stay forever if it is not destroyed ?

So that are all my Questions.
Sorry that its gotten long and so many. But yeah.

Many many Thanks in advance guys.


EDIT
damn i think i should have created this threat in the "EVE New Citizens Q&A" Forum, would be nice if a mod could move it there for me, i feel like i choose the wrong category here - sorry for that.

2) Afair, only one thing can be anchoring at a time. So tower, then turrets, then arrays, etc, etc

3) 1 POS per moon. They 'snap' to a spot close to the warp in point when anchored, so no, someone can't move it many KM away.
Though, d-scan is easiest to find POS, rather than warp to every single moon. D-scan from in orbit of the planet, adjust the distance and you can check where the POS are

4) Ammo goes in turrets, fuel goes in the tower. Silos only hold certain materials, and ships aren't it. They hold mats needed for/produced by reactions only

5) Things inside POS bubbled don't disappear automatically

Set:

* Attack on war.
* Attack on standing lower than 0.1

Control towers have a permanent safety; they will never go criminal.
