Either way it gives me another citadel class to build if nothing else. I do not believe that the profit of mining ICE will decrease overall, the market has always been a fickle mistress, while POS are finally getting the retirement they deserve, you also have to realize that something else shall be replacing them, so people will still need the ICE to make Fuel blocks or a similar item. This scenario will probably never happen, to much of an upset, after all you have to have something for people to go insane will doing, hence why i have a good selections of books and a very good chair.
It is being updated specifically to get rid of the POS moon mining, the eventual goal is to remove POSes all together, and the terrible legacy code that goes along with them. The Ore Anoms in NS respawn in the same system over and over, you can keep hoovering all you want and never run out. The big question will be how much m3 will the Moon goo sites be, will it take a couple of hours in a few Rorqs or way more.
If its only a couple of hours it not like that will have much of an affect on anything. You will need to decide what size control tower best suits your needs. If you are an NPC hunting corp who rarely visit 0. If you are a PVP corp that needs an outpost to safespot, reload, change ship or generally operate out of, then a Medium may be better for you. If you are an industrial corp that is into heavy 0.
When a Control Tower is online, it emits a force field around it as a shield. If a player is not in your corporation or does not have a password then they cannot enter the shield. The shield appears as a large blue sphere which completely surrounds the Tower. The strength of the shield is dependent on the Control Tower's race and size.
For a normal large Control tower this can be anything up to 50 million hitpoints, which as you can imagine, will take nothing less than hundreds of battleships pounding it for hours to take it down. This is a mode where the POS consumes fuel at a very high rate to withstand damage. Reinforced mode is automatic but will only happen if you have Strontium clathrates ice product in your fuel storage. As stated earlier, the Control Tower is used to manage all other structures - this includes turrets and launchers you anchor to protect your base.
The Control Tower can be set to fire on anyone based on standings, their standings to your corporation or whether they fire on you or the POS. There are also options to set a password so friendlies can pass through your shields and have safety within its field. Enemies cannot target you if you are within the shields of your POS. They can only target the Control Tower itself. Once you have anchored your tower, you should set a password for it for access. You will also need to enter that POS password on your ship.
Note: You have two tick box options, allow corp members and allow alliance members. This will allow both to pass freely through the shield without the need for a password. After you have a password set, you should add fuel to your tower next section.
You can begin the onlining process once you have fuel. A Control Tower runs on fuel. The fuels needed to keep a Control Tower online are trade goods and ice products. Putting up a POS in lo-sec, w-space, or null-sec is a risky operation until the tower is fueled and online. The more items that you bring along before the POS tower shields are active, the more items that you risk losing if someone attacks you. Once anchored, put online and fueled, the POS tower's shield system will come online and offer you a refuge.
Once you have settled on a location and found an empty moon, you should haul your tower out to the location along with a bit of fuel and " stront " to get the tower online. You can not start anchoring without corresponding Starbase charters in cargo.
Even one piece is enough to start process. The tower will then be moved by the EVE server to the center of that grid location. This can be up to km away from your warp in point, so you may have to look around to find it. Anchoring time varies by tower size. Small towers take seconds 7. Since you can do nothing else during the tower anchoring process, you may want to warp off to a safe-spot to wait out the timer. Preferably a "deep" safe-spot that is more then 15AU away from any celestial body and not inline between two celestial bodies.
When the timer is up, warp back to your tower's bookmark at 0km. Now you can fuel the tower and put it online. Once again, there will be a long delay while the tower goes online. Online time also varies by tower size. Make a note of the EVE time and when you estimate that the tower will finish going online. If you are worried about unwanted visitors, warp back to a safe-spot to wait out the timer. After the tower has finished going online, and for as long as the fuel holds out, the tower will now have a protective force field bubble around it.
At which point you should warp back to the POS tower and finish the initial configuration.
