Unanchoring laser pos batteries with damaged crystals

I can’t remove damaged faction crystals from laser pos batteries. Moving within 2500m of the laser battery does not let me do this unlike hybrid and projectile batteries. These pos batteries cannot be unanchored until the crystals are removed, and in turn the pos tower cannot be unanchored until all the guns are removed.

It’s been a long time since I’ve managed a POS, but try loading another crystal into the battery’s storage and see if the other one pops out. I remember this being a problem, but don’t remember exactly how to fix it. You might also try to see if there’s something esoteric in the right-click menu.

Ran out of the exact crystal used (faction Multifreq). Tried replacing with a different crystal (Radio M), would not let me. Also had to bring the tower online to do this. Will try again later after I get the same crystal again.

I’m pretty sure this is a bug on the part of ~CCP~ but good luck getting them to fix it properly. I’ve heard, as a previous poster said, that you can add a working, non-damage crystal of the same type and then successfully swap out the damage one.

Personally, I’ve done it differently: I anchored/onlined 4 large pulse batteries and went to town with my POS gunning skills, which makes quick work of the armor and structure on an anchored gun.

If you have friends with a supercarrier, they can also help speed up the process a lot.
