Wasn't much profit except for a few with the prizes... so more for the fun of tear extractions Pirate I thought Lol

If a new Hulkageddon does come about I bet Helicity will be the Catalyst. Helicity sure makes a lot of folks mad with these ganks, she post mails all the time about how people want to Thrasher. Either way Hulkageddon will cause quite the Tornado on the forums. Some say it was the Tempest for re-balancing the barges. Some people don't complain but try and fight of these invaders who come to Hi-Sec like mighty Talos swimming around Create though usually they fail.

Sometimes I think gankers over fish the belts like whalers spearing Orca's near to extinction on ancient Earth. I fear most counter strategies won't save barges from being turned to Hulks of scrap. It would take a Rokh hard ship to mine through an Apocalypse as big as Hulkageddon. Though ships that tough come with quite a price tag so only real Covetors of wealth could ge them. Industrialists need those minerals for their Ventures so they better hope there are some good Procurers who can find a cheaper option to defend themselves.

Common Hulkageddon! Start again! Nothing makes us richer than you pushing up the entire market's prices! Cool

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

That would be a good reason.

I've heard this rumor too but have seen no evidence. It would explain a lot.

So I keep hearing about Hulkageddon and I know how expensive they are and what not, but what exactly is it that draws gankers to hulks in high sec? I can't imagine its the minerals they've mined so far or just for griefing (though I'm sure this factors into it sometimes). So what is it that draws people to ganking hulks?


There is going to be no hulkgeddon this year. Instead there will be a mackgeddon. not as flash a name but the name does reflect the times. This is, after all, the year of the robot.

Huh? I've seen a number of ship solo ganked. If more miners took the time to throw a fit together in EFT then there would be a lot less of them.

Oh but they do.

The occasional dweeb does not represent the entire group.

Edit: also, as they have tanked, you won't see a killmail, derr.

Gankers are wankers unless they do skiffageddon.

People who fly skiffs generally pay attention, and fit a tank. That's enough to discourage most gankers, especially when there are many juicer targets who do neither. Why work harder than you have to?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

If I do another one, it likely won't be for a good while yet.

For one, I think after 5 editions it's gotten a tad stale, and on the other hand I no longer really have the vast amount of time it takes to run available to me for the forseeable future.

I still don't own a Hulk BPO, but I do accept donations (also, please tell me how to use BPOs, I have no idea)

And it has nothing to do with the exhumer changes (which I think were ace) as demonstrated by some enthusiastic corp mates of mine:

Nice work.

The cycle has already started to shift back to Empire belts being full of poorly or untanked Hulks again... and people are already starting to relax their fits in the other Exhumers due to complacency, negating much of the benefit they derived from those buffs (as predicted).

If you find the time in your schedule to organize it again I'm sure you will find many willing pilots eager to participate in the next Hulkageddon.

The issue really is trusting someone with the Prizes.

Chribba is about the only one unanimously trusted, but I'm not sure if he's amenable to that sort of participation for this particular event.

Of course.....it could go Prize-less. For the lulz only. But then that's too 'everyday', so what would be the point ?

You could always be the face of the next one and help run it from the side lines.

Wow, wow, wow.

Makes me embarrassed to share the same profession.
