When suitable hardeners are fitted which provide ~65% resists to all damage types, the DPS is about 150 in total on a Stratios. A Moa sustained ~228 DPS with a 62/59/69/74% resist profile. The damage radius is approximately 14km from the Power Terminal unit itself. | + | Normally, without being aligned, the Power Terminal area of effect damage cloud does 600 DPS to a regular Tech 1 resistance profile, assuming no hardeners.

| - | While this room can deal huge amounts of damage, it is not completely untankable. There are a couple of ships and fits that are viable for the job. | + | |
| - | When a ship approaches the Storage Depots, the initial Sentry Towers will begin to aggress the player around the 10km mark measured from the warp-in beacon toward the Hyperfluct Generator. Assuming the alarm has not been activated, their activation range is ~10-12km. As the ship continues, hidden Sentry Towers are activated in predefined spots as the ship moves around the area. In total, 10 Sentry Towers can be activated by proximity and 6 are from the initial spawn. | + | While this room can deal huge amounts of damage, it is not completely untankable.

| - | For fittings intended for attempting this method, see Ship Fittings, above. | + | |
| - | The basic strategy is to ignore the Remote Defense Grid Unit hack entirely, and hack only the Storage Depots. If the 16 Perimeter Defense Towers are online, the previously-mentioned fits may not be sufficient to tank the incoming damage. In that case, pilots can elect to fit a buffer tank and bring in logistics cruisers to compensate. However, any fit that can survive the Archive Room indefinitely (repping in excess of 2000 EHP/sec) won't have a problem, and may simply continue on hacking. | + | When a ship approaches the Storage Depots, the initial Sentry Towers will begin to aggress the player around the 10km mark measured from the warp-in beacon toward the Hyperfluct Generator.

| If there is doubt as to whether the Alarm is active or not (i.e. if someone else may have tripped it), swap out the two armor repairers for a pair of 1600mm plates and have a look. There is enough buffer to survive without reps for about five minutes. If the Perimeter towers are not active, but all 10 proximity towers and the initial 6 towers are, then the tank should last for about 6.5 minutes. Using Pyfa's numbers, one Exequror can repair about 2000 EHP/sec onto a plated fit and may be a good alternative. As long as the logistics ship does not steal aggro (just sit near the beacon), this approach should work nicely. This also has the benefit in that an overtanked Maller may only need to swap out for all EM and Thermal Hardeners, as 90% resists are pretty effective at reducing the incoming DPS. | If there is doubt as to whether the Alarm is active or not (i.e. if someone else may have tripped it), swap out the two armor repairers for a pair of 1600mm plates and have a look.

| The Perimeter Towers (and the initial Towers if the alarm is tripped) themselves have an activation range of 120km. Beyond this point, they will switch from a red box to a yellow box, but will re-engage if a player approaches within that 120km limit. Because of this, a sniping battleship can be used to clear out the Sentry Towers if desired, however this does take some time. To do this, when landing on the beacon, immediately turn the ship around 180 degrees from the area near the Storage Depots and then hit the Micro Jump Drive. (This allows for the maximum distance jumped from the rest of the Towers: hopefully only three or four Towers will still have active aggression.) Use 1400mm Artillery, Sentry Drones or probably large beam lasers. Then it's a matter of carefully positioning around to make sure the Towers in aggression range are limited so it doesn't break the tank, yet still engaging them within optimal of the battleship. Attack battlecruisers like Oracles won't work because those cannot fit MJDs. | The Perimeter Towers (and the initial Towers if the alarm is tripped) themselves have an activation range of 120km.
