The Captains Log 11/11
System: Hakeri, Metropolis
Station: Sebiestor Triber Bureau
Flying the far reaches of Empire space I am absolutely appalled by the amount POS’s and POS modules just left lying around with no one to take care of them. They are cluttering up good space which could be put to better use by other people. So Daquaris and I have decided to something about it.
The idea had come up while where Ganking Hulks and was fairly simple. We would set up an alt corp and put in some alts in it who could fly Amarr Battleships (don’t have to reload ammo) and then war dec any corp who had an offlined POS just sitting on moons doing nothing. Now I know what you are thinking. Why would we want to spend hours POS bashing just to remove someone else’s POS? Well there is a simple reason for our seeming madness; after you blow up the control tower the modules that were anchored around it can be unanchored and stolen. This can net a person a nice tidy profit.
So that is what we did. Daq created a couple of new alts, though they can only fly cruisers and destroyers at the moment, while I had one alt that could already fly a Armageddon and another one that already had some gunnery support skills trained, though would still have to train for Amarr ships. We located our target POS owned by the corporation R.I.P… a 10 man corperation. Well they did have 10, as soon as Daq war deced them (at the time it was just him in the alt corp) three of their members bailed out. Hmm good to see the corp loyalty is nice and strong there. We then spent the next few hours POS bashing and even managed to gain some interest from some of Daq’s old corp members who joined in for a little bit. The only highlight in the whole op was when R.I.P…’s CEO logged in system and promptly logged off. Well I guess that means he doesn’t want his POS. We would have ransomed it if he had of asked as it would have saved us a bit of time.
After a few hours of watching the shields drop ever so slowly we were rewared with the pretty explosion of a POS being removed from existence.
Destruction of the R.I.P… POS.
We promptly unanchored the two Mobile Laboratories and the Experimental Laboratory and took them home with us. We didn’t want them to fell unloved. In fact they felt so loved that they even gave us an Atron and Thorax BPO that one of the labs contained. This netted us a nice 380 million ISK.
However, the night was not yet over for me. A little latter I went out scouting for another POS to blow up and guess what I found. An unanchored Minmitar Control Tower. Well what can I say, it was now mine. Well it was after I found out I couldn’t use the Bestower the corp had, or that an Iteron I I bought didn’t have enough room to fit in its cargo hold whiched forced me run to around and buy an Iteron V before I could steal it. Another 355 mill for me : ) I can just about afforded to fit my Phenoix now.
Well we have another POS lined up to shoot, which should go a little faster considering that we should have more Battlecruisers to use on the next one and it isn’t going to be a Minmitar POS with large EM and thermal resists.

Interesting to see someone else is doing this. I have been popping some offline POSs with and alt corp for a while now. Tell me this though. I was under the impression that you could either blow up the POS mods and get the contents or un-anchor the mods and sacrifice the contents. It sounds like you took the labs but still got the BPOs. Is that right?
We are not alone in our want to kill offline POS's : ) Yes that is correct. I didn't unanchor the modules though so I will have to ask Daq what happened there. I was under the same impression as you.
I thought the same thing. I was in Rens, repacking them to sell, and all the sudden there were BPO's in my hangar.
Epic Win.
It's posts like this that make me want to move back into Empire and join you goofs xD
Make a alt and join us : )
It's isk… not gonna say it's fun sitting there pew'ing a tower for hours…
Still, you can be useful from day 1 in a destroyer, day 2 in a cruiser, and, day 4 in a harbinger.
Amarr's really the way to go. We're at Hakeri planet 7 moon 1 – Sebestior tribe if you're interested (for now anyways. As the region dries up I imagine we'll move on)
But.. But… Then I'd need a second account! xD
Nah, you can take some training off your main like I did, and use one of those extra slots
Will only take you about 20-25 days to train to use a Armegeddon, just use a alt on the same account (Its what we are both doing : )
[...] as you all know Daq and I have started to kill POS’s we find in high sec, so we started a new Corporation just do that, which we have called CONCORD [...]
Lawl, we got hatemail already
He meant "Corporation"
Im glad you liked it : )
