Once the POS shields have been lowered to 25%, the POS tower enters reinforced mode where it can no longer be damaged. This reinforced mode lasts for as long as there are Strontium Clathrates left in the stront bay. If there is no stront in the tower, you can continue straight to final destruction of the POS. Otherwise a timer will appear in space by the tower saying "Reinforced" with the remaining time listed in days/hours/minutes until the Strontium Calthrates run out. All stront bays hold a maximum of 41.3 hours of Strontium Calthrates, so the timer will always be less then 41.3 hours. If there is less then one hour of stront fuel in the stront bay when the shields hit 25%, then the tower will not enter reinforced mode. | Once the POS shields have been lowered to 25%, the POS tower enters reinforced mode where it can no longer be damaged.

The POS will exit reinforced mode once the Strontium Calthrates run out. At that point in time the shields will start to regenerate on their own. The owner of the POS can bring the shields up to the 50% mark by using logistics ships with shield transporter modules. Once the shield has been repaired to 50%, the owner may online any modules/structures that require CPU power. They may also re-stront the tower so that it will enter reinforced mode again if the shields are lowered again to the 25% mark. | |||
If the attacking force wishes, they should leave a harassing force in place to prevent the repair of guns or other modules outside the POS bubble. | |||
