Test Server POSes

We have been setting up a couple of POSes on the test server in X-B. This system is right next door to the combat system on the test server and since the whole thing cost 10 mil isk on the test server to set up I encourage you log on to the test server and good take a look. It will give you an idea of whats going on if you have never seen one thats friendly to be at. They are both a bit scary and impressive all at the same time.

Scary because a correctly setup POS can KILL a dread, and they cost around 600+ mil to set up.

Impressive because they can kill a dread... and can make a huge diffrence in the future of alliances and corps.

They are not completely setup yet although they are being worked on quite a bit.

Recon One

I encourage anyone who has never seen or interacted with a POS to follow Recon's advice. POS's can be shit magnets once setup, especially if another corp decides they 'own' that space. Learning how to access and defend one under fire is *not* advisable. So go check out the test server. If possible get rights to fuel, and move modules. There may come a time when your in the best position to add more guns or add more fuel when things go sideways, and its 100% in the best interest of everyone if you don't choose that moment to ask "How?".

Oh and don't let the 600M price tag fool you. Often if they're worth the space they occupy they can easily be worth more. All capital ship BPO research takes place *only* in POS labs. So you figure a few high end BPOs, a full tower of fuel and stront, in 0.0... yeah your talking no single op replacements here. The good news is risk = reward, and tower earn CASH. Seriously I had a friend whose only purpose in life was operating his towers until about feb when he went MIA. His wallet when last I spoke was over 10B for a 1 man corp. An no, the greedy bastard didn't even give me a parting gift Matter of fact he went MIA with my Raven BPO! Grrr.

But back to the point, read up on POS's folks. Its really good to be in the know, and an attack can come at any time once they're up. So nows the time to learn what to do.

As a general rule if you catch me in game or more effectively on the test server I will give director rights to whoever to give you a chance to play with the POSes. IF there is a server mirror let me know and I can go reset the roles again. As well as rebuild the POSes Which is something that takes a bit of time.

Matter of fact he went MIA with my Raven BPO! Grrr.

Ouch.
