POS Defense

Introduction

Player Owned Starbases are one of two types of stations that can be operated in space by corporations and alliances. Starbases are an important and sometimes critical asset for many alliances, as they are used to construct advanced capital ships, store ships and supplies deep in space, conduct advanced blueprint research, and mine and combine moon metals necessary in the production of T2 ships and items. They are also used to gain and hold sovereignty in unregulated space, and can serve as well-fortified defensive combat stations and rally points. This article will discuss Player Owned Starbases, and how individual pilots can assist in defense by manually operating starbase weapons.
