True, he didn't say passive align, but have you ever tried mining properly aligned, even at base warp speed? Its annoying as hell, and your orca can't keep up.

Edit: random check out of your sig, and shift-click worked fine for me on sisi last week. Not that I *like* the new inventory, but shift-click worked fine.


Real men mine triple webbed. You can spend a LOT of time near a rock when you're roaring along at 75% of 11m/s. Stay awake, and you can mine safely without giving up any yield for tank (Hooray?)

I'm a miner, a real miner not a bot of afk..... i lost two retriever in this hulkaggeddon and you know what ? not a problem, if you are a real miner you earn enough isk to compensate the lost !

Stop complain and play... for the others, yes Eve die and its because CCP develops Dust or world of darkness.. because they need more resources to keep eve alive !
Its not 1000 null sec players with 5 alts each who can keep eve alive ! everybody have understand you want more easy kills.... but when there will be no more easy kills what arrived ?

Well, if you whizzed out the window of a passing car would you turn around and come back to see if you hit anything? -.-

Reminds me of the time I got a ticket for littering, when I tossed a half finished shitty chocolate milkshake out my window at a car trying to overtake me.

Only after the shake was out the window and on it's shakey way towards the other car did I notice that the car was a Crown Vic... with Lightbar... and Sheriff's office markings.

This is the idea we used a couple of years back, we tested it over a couple of days before Hulkageddon started that year and it worked pretty well.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

I'm just going to derail the OP with a fact: Subscriptions have gone up every year Hulkageddon has been running.

Sorry, back to ranting!

Wow, that's... pretty innovative.

So your hulks pair up and web each other, and you can fleetwarp to their align point? They wouldn't be able to dock though... or can they?

Do you get an aggression timer for shooting fleetmates? How bout corpmates?

Been so long since I have been in highsec I can't remember :P

I know you can't take gates, since I did something that involved shooting corpmates in fleet with my ships.

tl;dr

Doesn't using the word "hunt" imply some effort on someone's part? Cuz Hulkageddon (I'm assuming you mean that) has no effort whatsoever involved in it by either side. It takes more effort to get up from my chair to take a leak.

PRETTY sure that gates and stations use the exact same timer, so guess you can't dock up using this.

Unless you make sure the warp takes the full time til the aggro timer expires.

Problem isn't that this is fair or not.
Problem is that a lot of miners are new players and they won't keep playing this game after being ganked twice a day during a week.

Burn Jita was an awesome event, entertaining and totally fair, it was even announced.

Hulkaggedon is the sort of thing that keeps EVE raising his number of accounts above some thousands (others being alts and bots). It's griefing against defendless rookies. If only you could only gank 6 months+ players....

Maybe the game owners are happy with so few real players.
I'm not. I'd prefer to see 100 people in my local instead of 10 with 7 being alts.

Yeah, no one is convinced, go connect your booster alt, salvager alt and go ganking some 3 months players.
