Interesting... there is so much a...Thanx Stabs, =]<br /><br />Interesting... there is so much as re holes that goes unpublished due to ItelSec concerns and the overall 'silent service' mentality living in holes garners. One of the reasons I started bloggin on my experiences was that searching for reliable info on W-Space was a little frustrating.<br /><br />Evidently all I have read on auto-defense mechanics is not completely accurate... I must admit to some surprise as re your losses to an auto-defending POS as the only losses I personally know of are haulers and frigates lost to deth stars but those were so low tanked that it was not a surprise.<br /><br />This is the first time I have had any confirmation of a POS killing a BS in auto mode... very Interesting. I now wonder if the sheer number of anchored def mods is a greater deterrent, for those who are in the know, than I had initially believed.<br /><br />And yes I agree about 'watchlisting', but as you know, (1) you cannot always know for sure that your list of the current active members is fully accurate and covers friends and OOC alts etc., etc... But, over time you probably can get a lock on 99% of em.<br /><br />I know we always try to keep at least one guy, a scout, who never engages and tries to stay off scan and unknown just so he can call in people for just such opportunities... we expect to be watchlisted and we keep that in mind too... =]Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-23392979651334574442012-08-05T05:03:14.743-04:002012-08-05T05:03:14.743-04:00Very nice post.

We were in spider tanking BSes with a couple of Drakes. We decided to first take out the scrams. We lost a BC, argued for a bit about whether we could do it, lost a BS, agreed to warp off and lost another BS which was scrammed and couldn't warp out, all without any of our opponents being there.<br /><br />As for anchoring offline mods you should have your opponents on watch list. Anchor and load them when they log out.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-36990238626348833652012-08-04T17:15:27.017-04:002012-08-04T17:15:27.017-04:00Diskstars are useful in Empire where you can warpi...Diskstars are useful in Empire where you can warpin reinforcements, supplies, friends, allies, etc. ... in W-space you are ALONE and in a well planned and executed bash, the aggressors will camp, bubble and actively cycle your holes... When they see your probes out, they setup cloaky hole camps, etc. etc. etc. ...<br /><br />In W-space your POS is the only 'station' you can access...<br />you better have several months (or moar) of fuel & enough ammo and ships to soak up some losses...<br /><br />Cause if they can lock you out of Empire, for evey POS ther is one critical fuel component you cannot find or make in the hole... you WILL eventually run out of fuel... end game.<br /><br />Other than that, with a CAP or two for support and to rep the POS shields, and with enough people, fuel, ammo and ships... you can make it so boring and unpleasant and costly... you can break the attackers attention span... just mebbe.Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-41365063624903981122012-08-04T15:22:39.477-04:002012-08-04T15:22:39.477-04:00Solid guide, thanks!

Not sure if that is a good idea but it seems to be a deterrent..,,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
