Are we growing bored yet?

They argue to have killed 6,000 ships already but we can't see any updates, can we?

Meanwhile nobody has lost a single ship in my system (for Chribba's sake!), i still meet conga lines of exhumers, orcas and the **** going out of station and i am the only moron mining in a BS. Bear

Are we sure these guys are not blowing their own unsellable Hulks? Lol

Hi guys! Congratulations!

You allegedly killed 7,000 miner ships!

Mineral prices keep steady with a slight downward tendency. Hulks are unsellable and prices are dropping to BS levels (i may buy a second one any time, eventually they will start rising back).

Also, I've seen gankers in my system for the first time since April 29th! WOAAAH!!! Of course they couldn't gank anyone and all 10 of them left the system briefly after they failed to gank a Hulk that already was warping out. Not the brightest of the breed...

Keep us updated on the astonishing success of the best Hulkageddon ever, will you? Lol




PS: i just noticed Helicity hasn't posted since May 11th, can anyone confirm he's OK? (seriously) What?

To answer a few points from your comments, the gankage is not uniform across all of New Eden. Some systems are going to be hit more than others based on certain factors, such as traffic, familarity, and stupidity (as in AFK mining).

Whether Hulkageddon V has an impact on the market or not is moot. 7175 kills and 1.41 trillion ISK is not a small accomplishment. It's an unqualified success.

The only fault I find with Hulkageddon V is perhaps it should have stuck with it's original shorter format, but that's just my opinion. Some of you probably like the month long format. Some of you probably want it to run year round.

TBH if the total amount of killed Hulks during Hulkageddon is only 7000 I'd call it a failure as the amount the months before were like 4000-5500. The difference duing Hulkageddon would then be just 2000-3000 more dead Hulks. That really surprices me as I thought Hulkageddon would have a much larger impact.

There are only so many fish in the pond. At some point more fishing rods won't make you catch you a lot more of them. The Tornados and the Destroyer-boost already made miner-ganking a favorite occupation since Crucible for many.

Miners do not buy PLEX with real money, they buy them with ISK.

You mean the isk they spend on buying another hulk? how much isk you think miners have/make? You make it sound like its the highest paid profession, which could not be farthest away from the truth.

Per hour its not the highest paid, but its so easy to put in a large number of hours it does pay reasonably well over time, and the expenses are low; crystals and ganks alone. The result is miners tend to have ISK.

Ah yes, it was irrelevant. That's right.

Good going on all the posting.

Aaaand, Hulkageddon is dead.

Helicity Boson is AWOL, the Hulkageddon V site is abandoned, Mittens is attention whoring with a "perpetual Hulkageddon" and all in all I still meet conga lines of Hulks outside the station.

That's all, folks!! Lol

if I had known hulkageddon was going to be this long and destructive, I would've bought up T2 ships and battleships like mad...
