* Large (LSAA) - (3) lines, T1 Battleships, T1 Freighters, T1 Industrial Command Ships

Under the old system where arrays were NPC-sold, all three sizes cost about 80M ISK. In 2010, CCP changed things so that players would have to use resources from [[Planetary ~~Interaction~~]] in order to construct the arrays. As of November 2013, small, medium and large arrays all sell for about 60 - 70M ISK. Therefore, the cost of the ship assembly array's size is not a major factor in the decision of which array to use.

For hi-sec use, where you have manufacturing slots available in nearby stations (which are far cheaper on a per-hour basis), the only real use of a ship assembly array is bulk storage. The SSAA and MSAA both hold 2M m3 of materials, while the LSAA holds a massive 18.5M m3. All sizes of ship assembly arrays have corporate hangar tabs to make organization easier. However, while the LSAA holds 9x more cargo then the SSAA/MSAA siblings, it only requires 4x the CPU and 3x the PG of the SSAA. So for bulk storage in a hi-sec POS, the LSAA is a very popular choice.

* Slots: 3 Manufacturing (0.75x time, 1.0x materials)

* Restrictions: Security level less than 0.5 (null through 0.4 sec)

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~~]]. In order to directly use a ship produced by the XLSAA, you must also anchor a [[POS Structures#Ship Maintenance Array|Ship Maintenance Array]].

===Capital Ship Assembly Array===

Line 69:

Allows for the construction of capital ships such as [[Capital_Ship#Dreadnoughts|Dreadnoughts]], [[Capital_Ship#Carriers|Carriers]], [[Capital_Ship#Supercarriers|Supercarriers]], [[Capital_Ship#Titans|Titans]]. However, they are generally only used for the construction of Supercarriers and Titans as Carriers/Dreads can be constructed using the much less expensive [[POS_Structures#X-Large_Ship_Assembly_Array|X-Large Ship Assembly Array]].

Anchoring one of these arrays will ensure negative attention from larger alliances who will suspect that you are building super-caps or titans. Very expensive to construct using [[Planetary ~~Interaction~~]] (the BPO alone is 500M ISK). Note that in order to move these around, you must have a ship with an 850k m3 cargo bay.
