http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13162422

3,662,980,000 Isk

As seen in te channel I saw te kill linked "spent 2 billion on a single invulnerability field, and another half a bil on a shield booster, he could have gotten like 10 hulks for that price. he spent 2.67bil on tank mods and apparently didn't even use them. luckily the mods dropped"

Theres always people with more money than brains. AFK mining during Hulkageddon in a 3.6 billion isk Hulk lol

No different than other blinged ships that end up getting ganked for the mods thinking they are safer in highsec. Or hoping isk will save them from their laziness.

I doubt he felt it. Anyone who fits their Hulk like this and goes out mining either is extremely rich or extremely unaware of anything. Possibly that he has not yet realized that his Hulk is gone. Mining can do this to you.

One should check out his other ships...

Someone got killed using expensive mods....To the forums!

This is nothing special or uncommon at least not enough for a thread over it.

However, putting it into perspective.. It is a game and the isk is virtual - you could say it is pixels and really has no value. The person flying the hulk fitted it thus because he could. The entertainment value was worth the fit

Why are you surprised?

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

-50 for the botting program that doesnt turn on a tank

Hey do Goons mine? Ive heard they dont but then I heard from a Goon (ironically in the Mining channel) that you guys do now that theres no drone poo

Im asking the goon in the thread lol

Wow... glad there is someone feeding the Hulkageddon Machine...

Invul field is just an expensive drop if its not turned on...

This is a lesson in fitting:
Do not go to the Market and buy the most expensive thing you can fit thinking it is the best.

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

Ironically the news was showing a bit about a billionaire in Australia who is building a Titanic II thats an exact copy of it. When asked if itll sink he said "yeah if it gets a hole in it *laugh*"

Wonder if he realizes he SHOULDNT copy the schematics on the inside of the ship given that the ship sank largely (along with many many other reasons) because the bulkheads inside were designed like an ice cube tray?

I like your motorcycle.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

This is true, Mainly because you **** things up with these stupid "Look at what I killed guyz" threads, in order to feel important. If you want to do that at least post in the right section which would be Crime and Punishment.

Maybe you care more about the isk than he does?

Karma Reid is my alt and i got all the loot and salvaged the wreck. I was looking for easy ganks then i scaned that hulk. I phoned my friend to come help to make sure it died. Shame we didnt get the pod.
