Line 165:

* The anchor limit does not count the unanchoring of a tower. (needs verification)

Before setting off to go anchor the tower, you should make a list of things to bring along. [[Orca]] ships make wonderful POS builders, but you can also use a T1 or T2 ~~industrial ship~~ to haul the tower, modules and fuel. Keeping in mind that T1 ~~industrial ships~~ are extremely fragile and a POS tower plus modules makes for an attractive gank target. The list of things that you should bring:

Eventually, all things must come to an end and it is time to tear down your tower, or move it to a new location, or just go on temporary hiatus.

===Tearing down a POS Tower===

Taking a tower down is faster then putting it up, but you should still allow a few hours if you have lots of modules anchored. You will need some sort of ~~industrial~~ ship (T1 ~~industrial~~, T2 transport, orca, etc.) to scoop the modules to your cargo hold. If you are working on scooping up batteries outside the shield which are spread apart, then an afterburner module will be very useful.

* You must be within 3000m of the module to initiate the offline/unanchor process.
