Got myself a mack and a hulk today so far. They still aren't fitting tanks. http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=14268989

The OP does seem correct. There is a ton of crying in the newbie npc corps. Despite the mackinaw giving much better actual yield for solo players they still want their hulks to be everything.

People will whine over anything, the people whining about whining are far worse to listen to. Nice kill by the way, always a laugh to see absolutely nothing in the mid slots of these ships lol.

Would be nice if CCP started letting Ore Holds drop their goodies.

Apparently the hulk is supposed to mine the fastest while hauling the most, CCP must have missed that memo.


You might want to actually read the patch notes before saying ******** things.

The hulk is meant to have the highest yield while hauling the LEAST. It is meant to only be used with orca and hauling support.

Dear god.. there has been like.. THREE dev blogs on this subject. You would have to be pretty dedicated to maintaining your ignorance to miss them.

The miners just haven't figured out yet that with the new barges and exhumers it's a case of either ore

I love it. Retriever now equals Covetor + internal jetcan + tank. An AFKers dream sure to irritate serious professional miners everywhere.

Stare at the rocks, it increase yield.

He didn't fit anything in his midslots? And no rigs?

WTF?

Dude, how hard can it be to rig up and use those midslots for some shield tanking modules? It's better than nothing.

Nooooo! Then I couldn't keep abusing the Orca for risk-free billions-of-ISK transports… Cry

…or, well, I suppose if it only dropped ore hold contents, specifically, then it would be ok. P

If that was meant sarcastically, you need to work on your writing skills. Generally sarcasm doesn't work unless it is obvious to the other party. It also doesn't come across very well on the internet. You will notice that when Jon Stewart makes a sarcastic joke, the audience isn't left wondering if it was sarcastic or not.

0/10 - for writing style. Needs remedial attention.

It would still be unscannable, and I did specify Ore Hold, after all. Blink

It was pretty obvious to me.

The "CCP must have missed that memo" line is what gave it away.

In today's news: A modicum of independent thought is being asked of the eve mining community until cookie cutter mining fits get plastered over the internet.
