Faction ECM is recommended for large towers in hostile environments to ensure jamming on enemy ships, even on secondary types. At a minimum, a medium tower should have (2) of each type online and a large tower will probably want (4) of each type online. If a medium or large tower will be actively defended by players (POS gunners) taking control of the defenses, then you may wish to anchor spares of each type. Some POS setups mount as many as 24-36 ECM batteries anchored with at least half of them online at all times. For more details, see the [[Example POS Setups]] page. Small towers can be fitted with (1) of each type online, but in most cases you should take a small POS down if you are under threat of a [[wardec]] or attack.

POS towers have two bays, a fuel bay and a 'stront' bay. The stront bay holds [[Strontium ~~Calthrates~~]] 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.

Never online a tower without putting at least a few hours of Strontium ~~Calthrates~~ 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 ~~Calthrates~~]] available nearby that you can re-fill the bay after repairing the shields.
