POS towers have two bays, a fuel bay and a 'stront' bay. The stront bay holds [[Strontium Clathrates]] which determine how long the tower will remain in [[POS Warfare#Reinforced Mode|reinforced mode]] if attackers manage to reduce the POS shields to 25%. The more stront, the longer that reinforced mode will last which will enforce a delay before enemies can fully destroy your POS tower. This delay gives you time to rally defenders or evacuate assets before the POS is completely destroyed. See [[POS Warfare#Reinforced Mode|reinforced mode]] for a full discussion of this. | POS towers have two bays, a fuel bay and a 'stront' bay.

Never online a tower without putting at least a few hours of Strontium Clathrates in the stront bay. Common recommendations are to put 8-16 hours worth in or 30-40 hours in. The goal is to shift the timer around so that it likely falls during your enemy's off-peak time. You should also have additional [[Strontium Clathrates]] available nearby that you can re-fill the bay after repairing the shields. | Never online a tower without putting at least a few hours of Strontium Clathrates in the stront bay.
