Just bad luck of the draw for you. One member (who was german but actually living in India, our corp was entirely multi-national) decided he'd have some fun with you and set up a small pos purely so we'd likely get a fight. The reason we left the shield at 47% (actually, we repped it for all of 10 minutes, one guy stayed and sort of afk repped for about 12 minutes more, and we then collectively went, "fuck this, fun had" and figured the worst case scenario is passive regen would put it up to 50%) was as I said, pure laziness. <br /><br />Your POSfu is somewhat weak though. You don't resistar if you plan on defending the POS, which we did. those mods eat a lot of CPU (which on a minnie POS isn't so plentiful) and get in the way of tackle mods.<br /><br />We were planning to stay a day or two at best. The corp was a merc corp, but we lived in 0.0 to keep us sharp. Albeit, it was fun beating up on you guys and finally doing some small gang POS warfare. <br /><br />Hope you're still around, maybe one day we'll go find you and have another day or two of fun.Shinmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-38749805395837751902009-05-20T10:29:46.717-07:002009-05-20T10:29:46.717-07:00@x1376 - very true.

And as such I was perfectly willing for the alliance to sustain otherwise high loses in order to learn the art. Strangely enough the corp that dropped a tower in did not re-appear after we cleared out the small.Letrangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433319509081349521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-86552766164395060952009-05-13T06:37:00.000-07:002009-05-13T06:37:00.000-07:00It is not so hot, I would say.

One gets the best performance--good locking time, hard hit, good tracking--and kills without troubles even on a really long distance. What kills RR BS by competent POS gunner team is alpha strike of two successive volleys.<br /><br />As a POS killer I have to yet see POS that cannot be killed by RR BS fleet. We usually attack from 40km even deathstars. It is only about paying attention to broadcasts, nothing other.<br /><br />Hardeners do not protect guns, just make shooting taking longer. While it makes life unpleasant, :), it does not stops determined force either.X1376https://www.blogger.com/profile/15521814396579600945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-69339879309024861532009-05-11T09:57:00.000-07:002009-05-11T09:57:00.000-07:001) The lack of hardeners means we could do damage ...1) The lack of hardeners means we could do damage to the shields as quickly as possible (kinetic or explosive damage preferably)<br />2) The guns were a poor mix for taking care of an RRBS gang. In this case the Mediums are to protect the POS and the smalls protect the guns themselves. With only 1 far reaching gun they were a little short on the type of firepower that could be concentrated against a sniping BS fleet (not that we were).Letrangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433319509081349521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-89737367440889549152009-05-11T09:48:00.000-07:002009-05-11T09:48:00.000-07:00I can certainly elaborate on POS warfare as I have...I can certainly elaborate on POS warfare as I have seen a shit ton of it against goons. <br /><br />Agreed on first point small POS just not enough grid to put up the right defensive arrangement.<br /><br />Second point did you guys snipe? if so then it would have to be some gun to hit you at 150KM plus. I normally snipe around 175KM or thereabouts to avoid the smaller calibre gunfire.<br /><br />Third point POS gunner are deadly.<br /><br />As for the setup of the POS placement is critical as is the mix of what you put up. There is only so much power to go around. Deathstar POS ( preferrably a large POS) are balanced with large numbers of Big guns both on the top and the bottom and ewar and smaller guns evenly around the middle. That way you can jam/scram/nuet whatever comes near and your guns can pound em.<br /><br />The downside is the cost to keep a large POS running.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-67697530726913715382009-05-11T06:00:00.000-07:002009-05-11T06:00:00.000-07:00Could you elaborate on the POS's flaws?
