POS Setup: Difference between revisions

In reality, faction tower fuel savings require about a year or two before the fuel cost savings will outweigh the cost of the faction tower over a regular tower.

Assembly arrays are mounted inside the POS bubble and are used to construct modules, ships, and other items.  They function similar to the manufacturing slots in NPC stations.

- need short blurb of how to use, where can the BPO be located, where can raw materials be located, where does output go

There are (3) sizes of the regular ship assembly arrays.  There must be a Ship Maintenance Array (SMA) within range (2500m?) of the Ship Assembly Array in order to use the production lines.  When ships roll off the production lines, they are stored in the SMA.  These arrays '''can be anchored in all security classifications''' (hi/lo/null).

* Small (SSAA) - T1 Frigates, T1 Destroyers, T1 Fighter and Fighter Bomber Drones

Large Ship Assembly Arrays are also commonly used as bulk storage because they hold 18.5M m3 (18.5 million) of stuff and have corporate hangar tab organization.  While an LSAA uses up 4x the CPU of a SSAA (250tf vs 1000tf) and 3x the PG of a SSAA (100k MW vs 300k MW), the old NPC prices for a LSAA vs SSAA were both 80M ISK.  In the future, now that [[Planetary Interaction]] is in place and ship assembly arrays are player-made, the prices between the three tiers may be different enough to matter.  For the record, a SSAA holds 2M m3 of cargo and a MSAA holds 2M m3 of cargo compared to the 18.5M m3 on an LSAA.

- T2 ship construction

- should not be used for regular ship production due to 10% increase in materials required

Allows the construction of large ships such as T1 Battleships, T1 Carriers, T1 Dreadnoughts, T1 Freighters, T1 Industrial Command Ships and T1 Capital Industrial Ships.  This array '''cannot be anchored in hi-sec space'''.  Fitting requirements are identical to that of the LSAA, but are more expensive to produce with [[Planetary Interaction]].

Allows for the construction of capital ships such as (need to insert list...).  This array can only be anchored in player-controlled null-sec where the POS corp owner has system sovereignty.  Anchoring one of these arrays will ensure negative attention from larger alliances who will suspect that you are building super-caps or titans.  Holds 155M m3 cargo space and is extremely expensive to construct using [[Planetary Interaction]] (the BPO alone is 500M ISK).

- not in hi-sec

- T3?
