Corporate Roles

Config Equipment

This skill does not have any effect on POS structures.

Config Starbase Equipment

Do not hand out this role lightly. Allows:

• Viewing contents of Ship Assembly Arrays.
• Access to the "Force Field" and "Defense" tabs of the tower management UI.
• Take from Ship Maintenance Array.
• See the true capacity in use of Ship Assembly Arrays, but only view/take according to corporate roles for each tab.

Starbase Defense Operator

Allows:

• Pilot to take active control of POS weaponry.

Starbase Fuel Technician

Allows:

• Deposit into Ship Assembly Arrays, but not view contents or capacity used.
• Deposit into the tower fuel bay, and to view fuel quantities.
• Deposit into the stront bay, and view stront quantities.
• View "Structures" and "Processes" tabs of the tower management UI.
• Take from silos(?).

Setup

Anchoring the Tower

- note that a corporation, not in an alliance, can only anchor 1 POS tower per day per system

- alliances can anchor up to 5 POS towers in a single system per day (same corp or different corps makes no difference)

- the throttle may not apply in w-space, but definitely applies in empire / lo-sec / null-sec

Q&A

- Q&A section or random tidbits that don't fit elsewhere

- secure containers cannot be anchored inside the POS bubble
