This is not true. I run a Hulk on Screen 2 (or a Mack) while I am "doing my thing" on Screen 1. Screen 2 pays for Screen 1..


In high sec? I'm calling bullshit right here =)

Why?



Because i can't believe that anyone in their right minds would mine, with one hulk, alone, in high sec enough ore to amass 380.000.000,00 ISK in under 30 days. Even on a second screen.

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.

Oh. lol. No. Didn't say PLEX. It pays for Screen 1 loses/mods etc...

I pay all my accounts off the ol' CC.

But just so ya know, you could make 380m a mth on a Hulk but it'd be many hours of work and you'd be "out of your right mind" true as. What?

Conservatively, 2m / hr x 8 hrs = 16m/day. Make that in about 24 days though.

the only way to help is to contribute to the problem until it is game-threatening enough to make ccp come up with a fix.

Ask them really politely not to do it and inform them if they don't that you will have to ask again and this time you wont say please?!

I like mining bots. They keep the price of ships nice and low.

Why do people complain about mining bots, apperently they earn 1.5 plex per month with 23/7 hours of mining? You can make that in 4 hours of high-sec incursions... -.-'? Seems like their electricity bill is higher then what they make. Not to mention the effort to keep the bots running I imagine.

It's the people trying to pay for Screen 9 with Screens 8,7,6,5,4,3,2 and 1 that get on my case. Kill 'em all...


10 legit miners are fine. 1 bot is not.

I suggest a gank-fit battlecruiser or arty BS like a tempest; fit low meta or even T1 turrets, don't bother with any tank, only mods that improve your peak or effective DPS. If you can find a friend to work with you, a pair of geddons phoons with 8 large smartbombs can wreak havoc on those all too blatant tightly cluster bots. If possible have a friend or alt on hand to scoop loots. The occasional lucky drop can pay for several new ships. Don't forget to platimum-insure!

So you're saying that because mining bots have depressed the price of minerals to the point that only bots find it worth while to mine, we should leave mining to the bots?
