What I got from the ship balancing summer update page was the more the ship could mine, the less it will tank.

I’ve spent 2 years and lots of money getting all my hulks to mine ore efficiently with a pretty decent tank, IT WORKS WELL RIGHT NOW.
It sounds to me that the change will require a hulk to need protection, if this is true it will be a huge upset (most likely game ending for me).

Please tell me I see this wrong!

i don't think the hull will end up with less tank, i think the other ships will end up with more tank.

i think the mack tank will be brought in line with the hulk's tank, then the skiff will be given a larger tank in comparison. i highly doubt the hulk's tank will be made worse by these changes, i think the hulk will be the baseline minimum. (at least, between exhumers)

I think the other hulls will just have more tank. Cry more carebear.

Risk vs. reward raise proportional. Good concept imho.

You think, which means you have no idea. Which means the only point of your post was to spew your pussy pirate drivel. Its little wonder you want miners to cry move, because they'd need to cry a hell of a lot to outdo you pirate vaginas who throw a tantrum any time you don't get your way, LOL!

I doubt the Hulk will be nerfed at all in the changes. From the info in the dev post it sounded like they were using the Hulk as the balancing point for the changes. So the Hulk will likely stay the same and everything else will just be getting major buffs. I'd even expect the Hulk to end up a bit more tanky than it already is since they mentioned they don't like that it can be killed as quickly as it can be. And as hard as it is to admit it, we probably have Hulkageddon to thank for these coming changes....so thanks Goons!

I'm interested to see what they have in mind, but I'll reserve judgement for when they share that with us.

I agree with the previous posters. I don't think that there will be any nerfs to the Hulk at all, just buffs to the rest of the Barge hulls so that they're all worth using, not just the Hulk.

I did not read into the statement that the Hulk will be less than what it is today.

It is very possible that it will be better, but less than the others after balancing.
