So, I got wardecced

[Marc]

I have a corp with my RL mate, just the 2 of us. Anyway, we got wardecced by some lame corp called PooPooHead Bandit Crew. Anyways, they are sieging my POS, 6 BS. Fuck, nothing I can do, but I see a drake outside the NPC station so undock in my domi and lock him and he locks me. Standoff. Next thing some megathron locks me. Hear we go, random locks me expecting me to shoot him, but instead starts repping me so the drake flies off.

I get talking to the megathron pilot and he asks me whats going on so I explain the situation to him. He invites me to his alliance channel and logs his alt on and joins my corp. So him in his mega and on his widow on his alt along with a neutral repper fly to my pos. There was a domi, 3 ravens, a drake and 2 geddens, this guy kicks their asses and they run and retract the war. In the meantime my corp is invited to this guys alliance...sweet!

Anyway, they have started the war again!!!!

Except this time, by the time the war goes active, we will be in an alliance Which means it will be the alliances war too.

Bring it on!

hah, lovely

its rare stuff like that happens, good on you for getting lucky


have to say i'm feeling the itch again, but i just know i cant stand the game for long

i just never get into a corp that makes me feel at home :/

ppl generally just "do their thing" and the only times we do anything together is when the FC wants a pvp roam...

hard game to just say "hey all, lets go do a few plexes" when most ppl are 30+ jumps away grinding agents... >.<

Ok I need some help...quick!

Our pos is in reinforced mode, 7 hours left. When that ends, shields are only 25% so I have some questions.

1. I take it once it comes out of reinforced mode I cant put more strontium in?
2. What modules do you suggest for extra protection. We already have hardners, what about that white noise thingy?
3. If it is being sieged, are we allowed to take down the ammo and equipment arrays etc?

Shit this gonna be close. Our alliance is already fighting a war, I just hope they have enough personell to defend my POS. Apparantly, this lame corp have been paid 500m to attack me lol

You want lots of guns with different damage types and the skills to shoot them, that is often the hard bit!

Once it comes out of RF you can repair it. What you need is a small gang that can gank ships fast.

 

[Ctuchik]

aye, lots of guns that can get the enemy to run > resists that will just make it take slightly longer to kill it.

and what the hell, 500 million ISK?

that's almost an insult....

I also think the Mercs are pretty shit for that price.....

1. I take it once it comes out of reinforced mode I cant put more strontium in?

Nope, you need to repair shields to 50% to be able to put in more stront for another reinforce timer

2. What modules do you suggest for extra protection. We already have hardners, what about that white noise thingy?

White noise thingies are radar (amarr) specific jammers. They work fine vs other races aswell since they're way more powerful than those you put on ships

Other than that put on small or medium guns on the pos. The missile turrets suck so avoid them. Make sure to have an alt or two operating them

3. If it is being sieged, are we allowed to take down the ammo and equipment arrays etc?

No, while pos is in reinforced you're not allowed to unanchor anything that was hooked up

I guess it's too late with this advice now, how did it go ?

 

[Marc]

We lost it lol

But I learnt a lot about POS's. The new one is already up so if we get wardecced again, we will take it sraight down during the 24 hour period.

Just put up around 6-10 small turrets and keep an alt or two near there with starbase defence management 4/5

I'd imagine the "pirates" are looking for undefended poses. once they've lost a couple of bs to the pos they'll be less likely to attack.

Add some medium guns aswell to fry BS. A 6BS fleet dies like turds against a decent armed POS with a disruptor and some guns.

Only need one gunner controlling 4-5 guns to fuck it up

And yeah, people looking for undefended POS to reinforce and blow up to both grief and then unanchor mods (now that NPC stuff isn't going to be seeded anymore)

 

[Marc]

Ok so in summary, if we get wardecced again, dont bother taking the POS down, just unanchor all the manufacturing arrays and labs and put up guns and jammers and we will be ok?

Sounds good .

 

[Marc]

What if its attacked while no one is online, will the guns still do their job?

 

[LordjOX]

What if its attacked while no one is online, will the guns still do their job?

Yeah, but way less effective. They won't assist on one target but cycle through targets randomly. With a pos gunner at level 4 you can aim a warp disruptor and 3 medium guns on a target and basically fry it

Also, to incapacitate a tower with few people you also need to knock out the guns, which takes a long time

 

[Ctuchik]

you really can't stay offline for any prolonged period of time if its just you and a mate that owns the POS.

buying one as a two man corp basically signs you up for a second full time job if you want to keep it.
