===Starbase Charters=== | |||
All POSs located in hi-sec space (0.5 to 0.7) require starbase charters in order to operate. These charters are race-specific based on the region where you are placing the POS and are bought with [[Loyalty Points]] from NPC corporations. | |||
All size towers require 1 charter per hour. | |||
===Isotopes=== | |||
One of the components needed to fuel a POS tower is isotopes. There are four types of isotopes and each racial tower uses one of these four isotopes. These isotopes can be refined out of the type of ice found in each race's regions. Here is the list of isotopes and which tower types they are used with. | |||
* Helium Isotopes - Amarr | |||
* Hydrogen Isotopes - Minmatar | |||
* Nitrogen Isotopes - Caldari | |||
* Oxygen Isotopes - Gallente | |||
- Need to add the pirate towers to this list (dom, true sansha, dread gurista, etc) | |||
* Small: 113/hr | |||
* Medium: 225/hr | |||
* Large: 450/hr | |||
===Liquid Ozone and Heavy Water=== | |||
In addition to the isotopes that come from ice, POS towers also make use of the Liquid Ozone and Heavy Water components from ice. Heavy Water consumption is controlled by the amount of CPU in use by the tower and is generally very inexpensive. Liquid Ozone, on the other hand, is consumed based on how much PG is in use. Due to competing demands for Liquid Ozone (lighting [[Cynosural Fields]], for instance) and the limited amount that comes from refining ice, prices tend to be 3x to 4x higher then Heavy Water. | |||
===Strontium Calthrates=== | |||
The fourth component that is refined from ice is [[POS Warfare#Strontium Calthrates|Strontium Calthrates]]. Unlike the other fuels, Strontium Calthrates are only used when the POS is placed into [[POS Warfare#Reinforced Mode|reinforced mode]]. There is a separate fuel bay for Strontium Calthrates in the tower called the "stront bay". As explained on the [[POS Warfare]] page, you should always put at least 1 hours worth of Strontium Calthrates into the "stront bay". | |||
* Small: 100/hr, 4166 max units for 41.7 hours | |||
* Medium: 200/hr, 8333 max units for 41.7 hours | |||
* Large: 400/hr, 16666 max units for 41.7 hours | |||
As a general rule of thumb, if you put "N" units of Strontium Calthrates in your tower, you should keep a spare stock of "N" units Strontium Calthrates in a nearby location. That way, if the attackers leave you alone after the initial attack, you can quickly replenish the "stront bay". | |||
===Planetary Interaction Fuels=== | |||
The rest of the fuels required for POS operation come from [[Planetary Interaction]]. Prior to the [[Tyrannis]] expansion, these fuels were NPC supplied on the market but hi-sec sources were typically monopolized each day immediately after downtime. | |||
Per hour needs by tower size: | |||
* Enriched Uranium - 1 (S) 2 (M) 4 (L) | |||
* Oxygen - 7 (S) 13 (M) 25 (L) | |||
* Mechanical Parts - 2 (S) 3 (M) 5 (L) | |||
* Coolant - 2 (S) 4 (M) 8 (L) | |||
* Robotics - 1 (S) 1 (M) 1 (L) | |||
