Line 56:

Faction ECM is recommended for large towers in hostile environments to ensure jamming on enemy battleships. At a minimum, a medium tower should have (2) of each type and a large tower will probably want (4) of each type. If a large tower will be actively defended by players (POS gunners) taking control of the defenses, then you may wish to mount additional spares of each type. For more details, see the [[Example POS Setups]] page. Small towers can be fitted with (2) of each type, but in most cases you should take a small POS down if you are under threat of a wardec.

===Strontium Calthrates===

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 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 1 hour of Strontium Calthrates in the stront bay.

* Small: 100/hr, 4166 max units for 41.7 hours

* Medium: 200/hr, 8333 max units for 41.7 hours

* Large: 400/hr, 16666 max units for 41.7 hours
