Not so elegant solution to Hulkaggeddon Infinity

Eve now has Hulkaggeddon Infinity. Realizing Eve is about figuring out how to get around limitations, I just had to start thinking about mining from the standpoint of "What can a miner do?" So here are a few I've come up with while bored at work.

Take it on the chin, dock up the hulk and:

Go back to mining in a Covetor is one obvious solution. Besides being much cheaper if you get ganked, this is Hulkaggeddon Infinity, not Covetorggeddon, so maybe you will get left alone more often.

Battleship mining. It has been a long time since battleship mining was common, but battleships do have massive tanks and if I remember correctly from all those ages ago, 7 high slot mining battleships get good solid numbers comparable to a covetor.

Dont take it on the chin, keep mining in the hulk and:

Mine in backwater highsec systems and run when more than 2 neutrals are in system.

Scan down gravimetric anomalies. Whether thats in wormholes or highsec ( correct me if I am wrong about gravimetrics being in highsec )

Mine in those level 4 missions. This is still possible yes? ( again correct me if I am wrong and something changed )

We all have been affected by others in game to one extent or another. Ganking of highsec mission runners for their shiny things still happens. So level 4 mission runners adapted by making themselves less of a loot pinata by taking off a few shiny things. My Gist B-Type X-Large shield booster is sitting in a can to this day and I never was ganked.

Lowsec gatecamps are another common occurrence players run into daily. You can sit there, complaining, or you can do something about it. One man filling your regions intel channel on the gate camps movements is one thing you can do. Another is hoping in a throw away frigate and sensor dampening the insta locker of the camp. ( I find this hilarious actually )

You see fellas, Eve is about adapting to the changes the players and game mechanics throw at you. Fly safe. o/

There is no safety. Instead of pretending to fly safe, fly smart.

I can't believe you people put up with that crap. High sec is supposed to have a huge population. Grow some balls and attack those damn griefers already. Even if most of you die horribly, you have the numbers to throw at the problem.

Might as well use a goon approved solution to dealing with a problem.

This. Get out of your starter corp, fit some guns, and play the other 90% of the game! Pirate

Yep. Blobbing is a great tactic in EVE Online, a MASSIVELY multiplayer internet spaceships game.

Bigger is better <3 <3

Anyone ever wonder if the people who post on the forums even bother to read posts before they respond? Also wonder if these same people are so used to typing in hate filled drivel they are unable to post any other way?

Your solution is psychological. Those involved have the attention spans of gnats.
They'll forget what they're doing soon enough. Wouldn't be the first time.

The right to free speech doesn't automatically carry with it the right to be taken seriously.

They'll remember when they see that catalyst warping to them at zero ...
