First thing you need to take care of when planning a POS are the defences. Nothing attracts people like Torpedo or Cruise missile launchers, no Warp Disruptors and lack of any kind of E-War or hardners online at the POS. | First thing you need to take care of when planning a POS are the defences.

Large POS's are strongly recommended in W-space. Small ones or even Medium ones are very easy to attack and take down. Most of people don't bother with Large ones. It takes too much effort to bring a large POS down, it's a logistical nightmare, but that doesn't mean people don't do it. It is quite common for corporations to attack other people in W-Space for isk and loot. Even the best defence won't keep people from destroying your POS, if they are ready to do what it takes. Having a good setup however will decrease the chance of getting invaded and will probably save your assets. This is EvE and you always need to be prepared for the worst. Keep that in mind.<br> | Large POS's are strongly recommended in W-space. Small ones or even Medium ones are very easy to attack and take down. Most of people don't bother with Large ones.

If you are planning to leave your system for an extended period of time, consider using additional POS defence modules, put your laboratories and corp hangers offline to free up some powergrid and anchor more guns, ECM, and anything that you have handy. This setup is called a 'Death Star Mode', and will keep your assets safe when you are away. No one will even think of attacking a POS like that. <br> | ||

Once you are ready, jump in the hauler, anchor the POS, online it as soon as possible, make sure you have enough fuel to run it for at least a day and a significant amount of Strontium. Once the shields are up and running, you're fairly safe. Next thing you need to do is set up the guns, ECM, warp disruptors and everything else you've planned. Start moving in the rest of POS modules you wish to have there, and start moving in ships. Always have a spare scanning ship in the hangers, you never know when you'll need it. Take the time it takes to online the POS modules to set up off and on grid [[Safe spots]]. | [[Image:Pos ships.jpg|border|left|250px|Pos ships.jpg]]Once you've got all of this, scan your way out to K-space, get your hauler ready, scan your system multiple times to make sure there are no new incoming wormholes, and make sure that you are actually alone in the system.
