POS Warfare: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

All towers have shield, armor and structure like normal ships, but during the initial phase of combat only the shield HP comes into play. In addition, each tower as a set of basic shield resists that vary according to the race/faction of the tower. One of the resists will be 50%, one will be 25%, and the other two resists will be at zero. You should add shield hardeners to shore up your weaker resists.

As a general rule of thumb, "array" structures are mounted inside the POS bubble while "battery" structures are mounted outside the POS bubble. If the module targets enemy ships then it must be outside the POS bubble. This is enforced by the game when you attempt to anchor the structure at the POS location. Batteries should be evenly spaced around the POS bubble in order to avoid dead spots or weaknesses in coverage. See the section on [[POS Warfare#Offense|offense]] for more discussion on this.

In general, "battery" structures will need to be at least 5km away from the edge of the POS shield bubble. See the section on [[POS Warfare#Offense|offense]] for more discussion on this.
