EVE General Discussion

Don't buy Hulks

Let Goons shoot their feet off.

Mine in anything t1
Don't mine in a Hulk.

Solved.

Right. And if your right eye offends you, pluck it out. There's a good solution for you.

or y'know lrn2tank a hulk to withstand the solo or pair of oppertunistic gankers. No hulk will withstand a determined gank from a group of people but you can stack some odds in your favor.
No one in their right mind is going to attack your hulk even 1v1 with a battleship or T2 ship, that's counter-productive. They'll hit you with cruisers or destroyers mainly. You can in theory tank a hulk to withstand an attack of that sort until Concord arrives.

Do not carry drones, belt rats in high sec don't do that much damage to need them. no drones = less income for the ganker if (and when) they pop your hulk. Use T1 strip miners and T2 defense mods, ditch the shield booster it's useless. An invul + damage control - activate them the second you undock.

Flesh out the rest of your fit as you want - the goal is resists + EHP = suvivability until Concord arrives. That's all you gotta do is hold out long enough for the popo to show up.

It's not rocket science.


Happy mining in your hulk even in this day and age.

ECM drones would actually help

If you leave the rats on you for an hour, they will chew down your shield bar till some point where natural regen matches their dps, leaving you with 10% or more lowered EHP. hobgoblin 1s are are not even worth the time to scoop for a ganker, and a flight of them will kill any highsec belt rat in 5 seconds. Mining drones are cheap too.



Realistically a non station dead end is much better protection than any of the above, beyond ensuring your hulk is solo cat proof. Some highsec systems have useful local channels, and some don't. Local is less effort to use in a useful local system than d-scan in a busy system where you'll get false positives all the time.

I didn't read your post because I was too preoccupied with your portrait.

Nice ****.

If you log in to EVE you've already lost. Never stop not logging in.

I was.. about to log in.

But then the PvP on the General Discussion forum called out to me. And I think I lost EVE even harder. Thanks, GD posters.

I like the OP's suggestion.
Let's screw those Hulks and Macks.

Mine in T1 stuff. Goons won't put bounties on those and if they do it won't last long since their income doesn't get padded extra from the tech sales to replace all them hulks and macks.

Towerowners use T1 retriever or covertor, the yield is lower but as good as no chance of losing your ship to gankers.
Mine for your own need a bit of ice or have someone in your corp do it against payment and your set.
Deny the OTEC lords as much as possible tech revenue. Use T1 stuff and meta 4 mods from loot.
The less tech they sell the more they will cry

All of a sudden the 7 trillion ISK per month becomes what it should be. A bubble that can easy pop by virtually nobody falling for it. And the bubble bursts.
The value of moongoo is only valued when it actually moves. Now imagine it not moving anymore.

So want to hurt 0.0 as they hurt you? Stop using Tech 2 where ever you can. Use meta 4 gear or meta 3 and take a bit longer to get certain stuff done. But when it's done you can also say it didn't bring any of the moongoo brats a single ISK.
Keep that up a few months, let the movement grow.
The only and best way to give a signal to 0.0 is to hurt them where it really hurts.
Their collective wallets.

I already do :) And just like the Goon way it needs time to pick up.
