Gah - thats where experience tells over theory
I'm only getting my first Cloaks today (Electronics V was the slow bit) so need to experiment...

Yup - although a fair number are currently bugged so if you attack after the daily maintenance period they only have 50% shields which would save a bit of time

Hmm - I hadnt considered carriers - would you take out all the POS weapons first? Otherwise it would surely total a lot of fighter drones?
I'm going to hang back a bit longer before going POS - I dont really need it just yet and I think the idea of making money from moon mining has probably gone so I'd just stick it anywhere for research.
I'm looking to set myself up in the capital ship components market initially and then move onto carriers and fighter drones - I just love those capital ships
In the mean time I'll focus on raising my faction to 4 so I can launch a 0.4 POS - plenty of moons to choose from at the moment in 0.4 and you can even mine.
The Corp I'm in is big enough to take a POS moon by force if needed but I'd rather wait till I have a few carriers.
I guess eventually I'll want to head out 0.0 but initially 0.4 space seems safer for research on costly BPO's.
Thanks for all the advice so far - I avidly read the official forums but theres so much to process and I'm still pretty new to all this
