I see all these posts about unsubbing, wah wah-ing to CCP etc.

But if you want to stop the infinite hulkageddon, just start using covetors instead of hulks.

- They're much cheaper to lose
- They aren't worth ganking in the long run
- They are almost as good as the hulk at mining

If everyone stopped the ******* crying and stepped down to covetors I'm sure you'd see hulkageddon die pretty quickly.

(Yes I know "hulkageddon" has ended now, but I didn't know what else to call this)

You don't understand the mindset of a ganker do you?

My Tinfoil hat has been sugically implanted, so no,it is not for sale.....

Exactly, and thats what would remain, the people doing it for fun.
All the people who will now join the ganking just to make easy ISK (which is what the problem really is about) will stop

edit: besides, a covetor you can easily replace, a hulk, not so much.

Also if people stopped using and buying hulks the tech price would probably sink, making it harder to fund the ganking.

Excuse me, I'll just sit in my ******* battleship and mine if im bored. Not that I'll ever be bothered to even buy the Mining skill.

This could be fun.

Some days I wonder why the heck people dont just adapt to the gankers, I mean for **** sake. "oh noes he killed my retriever omgQQQQQQ lemme go post on forums about it" Yes, I blew you up, Yes I had fun doing it. Oh NO, you didn't have fun being blown up by me!? HOW DARE YOU?!?! If I had fun blowing you up, I'm sure you'd have fun blowing me up. ADAPT OR DIE.

This could be fun.

Because we're only allowed to have fun the way you want us to, after all. Some people don't like shooting other people for no reason and won't ever be persuaded to do it.

actually killing hulkageddon would be farcically easy

between creating an information resource for hisec miners detailing fits, preparation, tactics, etc; an updated watchlist of known gankers with km proof; and moderated regional intel channels, that would pretty much be the end of mass-scale ganking right there.

however, hisec miners have no interest in playing eve with others or really doing anything beyond cycling their mining mods, which is precisely why hulkageddon exists, remains so popular, and will continue successfully for the foreseeable future

Or just step down into covetors which is alot easier and alot less work :p
Sure there'll be some trouble in the beginning but just endure it

edit: or yes battleships

Mining in hulks, hell exhumers at all, is NOT A MUST

Wrong! You are allowed to have fun exactly the way you wish. Just don't come crying when someone else has fun their own way and just happens to **** your sand castle up.

Mining in a coverter = death to a gank

Mining in a buffer fit Hulk = not as often as you would think


Death to hulks with no tank

This. Unlike the OP, some people do "get" what the Hulk is about, its about increased tank NOT increased yeild.

While the untanked hulks and the OPs Covetor gets constantly ganked, I'll be using my fully operational starba... erm... fully tanked hulk safe in the knowledge that, unless I see multiple tornadoes or battleships on my directional scanner, I will survive any ganking attempt.


Hulk Description wrote:
The Hulk is the largest craft in the second generation of mining vessels created by the ORE Syndicate. Exhumers, like their mining barge cousins, are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining modules. They are also far more resilient, better able to handle the dangers of deep space. The Hulk is, bar none, the most efficient mining vessel available.

Mining Barge Skill Bonus:
3% better yield for Strip Miners per level.
7.5% bonus to all shield resistances per level

Exhumers Skill Bonus:
3% better yield for Strip Miners per level
3% reduction in Ice Harvester duration per level

Role Bonus:
Able to equip Strip Miner and Ice Harvester turrets.

The flaw in your logic is the simple fact that either Covetor or Hulk, you are still mining. THAT is what they are after - mining.

'Hulkageddon' has been a misnomer for a few years now. Mineageddon is more accurate.

Who the Fk are you to dictate what we fly? You can't tell people who pay for a subscription to step down out of a ship that takes awhile to learn to fly. You have some nerve.

The problem is that C.C.P. has to fix the way mining is done. A way to get rid of the macro users. That was the whole point to Hulkageddon in the first place. Was to disrupt macro users. Not for asshats like you to tell miners to step down in a ship.

OP isn't dictating anything.

IF, notice the IF.

OP is showing you that by buying Hulks you are throwing ISKs into the pockets that are paying the bounty on that same hull.

Its like the mole paying to participate in the whack-a-mole. If that's your idea of fun, by all means continue.
