EVE General Discussion

Have you not mined lately? Trit and other materials are now 2 to 3 times more expensive then they were a few months ago. Means you make about 15 mil to 30 mil an hour depending on your skills by just sitting their afk all day killing a rock that doesn't move. I think isk is getting too easy to make these days. Back in my day hulks cost 400 mill so I wouldn't be complaining about the cost to replace a hulk. But I would be happy to gank it for you. We take a loss too and its just for the kill mail. I can't wait for inferno when they get rid of the dang popup windows that warn you, that you are ganking somebody with no way to turn them off. Finally fixing that in inferno. I'd rather not fight the UI to play a game feature and mechanic.

lol pull your head out of your ass

Destroyers - Buffed = 2x pocket rocket catalyst banging poor fitted hulks for 5 million
Tornado - 1400mm love rod comming your way, but wait there is more! Dude just has to bring a friend!

Don't matter what you do dipship, solo or in a team a hulk will die to a determined individual or a small party. If you can't kill it, you either gave up because you are a risk adverse pussy that didn't want to lose a Tornado or 3 in your gang to CONCORD because the destroyer is so much cheaper and/or your connection went down just as you started locking. I am betting more the first option for you though, because so many players shoot hulks because they require less effort then ganking a Dominix or Raven mission running ship with **** mods of no value. You ever see Mission-ageddon? No, because it requires you to lose more then the hulk pilot then a destroyer, who may be trying to recover the isk he spent on the second hulk after losing the first one...only to lose it possibly with in the first week of getting it requiring the purchase of a third hulk, valued far higher then any other T2 ship excluding battleships. You on the other hand, easily recovered your destroyer from the first kill from a cargo expander or strip miner while looking for another hulk. You are never inconvenienced out side a sec hit, the miners are always inconvenienced as it takes 4 months to fly a hulk well, 4 months of subscription, and its oblitterated by a dude flying a throw away destroyer that requires 2 days effort to train into.

But if you want to continue to say "fit tank mods" then you must mean "Player is responsible" for the result that happens...here please sign this "Un-nerf Titans to January 2012 and make Super Carriers act like after Dominion" so we can get more Whinebears that belive their ****** battleship blobs are supposed to defeat cap ships and they have to take responsibility for losing because they don't have a cap ship of their own. Remember, the player has to take the appropriate actions to not lose...so CCP doesn't have to step in by nerfing them and fix the problem other players will encounter with cap ships.

But you were selectively reading, decided to edit it out the second paragraph and forgot how I suggested you don't give up. BURN THOSE ******* SHIPS AND POD THOSE MINERS! THEY DESERVE TO DIE.

Also, lets get CCP to reduce the extra PG / CPU for other T2 ships to make it difficult to fit 1600mm plates and medium sized guns (not cruiser gun, the middle selection of any gun size. You know, the combat ones that get a really nice damage bonuses AND really nice hitpoints without having to sacrifice for one or the other to much...unless you really want a massive wall of hitpoints for your armor tank but then again you can still fit guns without compromising that much. Miners...will always die to a determined individual...you think 1899 hitpoints to shield with a 37.5% resist bonus to shields isn't a ******* joke? I would never want to structure tank, BECAUSE THATS THE LAST BARRIER.....wait you know what...nerf the **** out of damage controls. Its too over powered, it gives 60% resist T2 for 1 cap while energized nano armor and invulnerables give a fraction of that...plus we need to get people of that ******* crutch so all ships die faster (this is a buff to miners, as they have higher demand for minerals AND a buff to gankers since the hulk will die even faster now! WIN / WIN!!! )

edit: I also have not flown a hulk (didn't lose it as well) since a month before the first hulkageddon was announced, because I know the ship was trash.

I clearly mine more than some people read, and I used reading as a prerequisite to mining.

Just have some fun instead

Active Alignment doesn't work either if you are afk until you change directions :|

You Sir are a brilliant internet spaceships man!

Fit tornado, scan haulers at gate, target, shoot and make a few billions per hour instead. Stop being lazy, stop mining

For the record, when I say aligned, I mean moving because that is what aligning is (in EVE).

And yes, the whole passive align thought that goes around annoys me greatly... as much as miners whining when they lost their ship because they were afk.

For myself I'd estimate about 10 hours to mine the minerals to raise enough ISK to buy a new Hulk.


Hulks are quite slow even when aligned, try warping out after the gankers land ontop of you in a belt, I bet they can lock you and press F1 before you enter warp.


This, I have yet to lose a Hulk to gankers.

Thank you for the announcement. Now every ganker who read this will find you and put your claim to the test.
