If that was meant sarcastically, you need to work on your writing skills. Generally sarcasm doesn't work unless it is obvious to the other party. It also doesn't come across very well on the internet. You will notice that when Jon Stewart makes a sarcastic joke, the audience isn't left wondering if it was sarcastic or not.

0/10 - for writing style. Needs remedial attention.




Oh no! Someone insulted my writing style on the internet!

I have been dealt a mortal blow this day!

Personally, it really really really bothers me to see miners lose hulks. makes me wanna kick a panda cub over a bridge.

Seriously,

Okay number one there's gankers out there! yo! tank that dang barge!!!

number 2, guys! your cargo has been nerfed! that's a hint yeah? change those rigs to shield rigs!

number 3 take out one of those Mining laser upgrades for a Damage control unit! respect that there's pvp in this game! even though you might think barge ganking really isn't pvp, do it anyway!

you paid over 200m for that ship! it's not worth leaving it open for destruction! it's embarrassing to see you guys get blown up by a ship that's barely worth over 100k isk.

/facepalm gawd.

WTF?

Dude, how hard can it be to rig up and use those midslots for some shield tanking modules? It's better than nothing.

Let's say that both categories don't exactly shine at that. It's BvB (bads vs bads).

Mathmatical proof that miner tears are a cry for help.

If the letters of the alphabet are assigned the numbers 1 through 26 like so:
A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7 --- Z=26

Then:

MINER TEARS = (13+9+14+5+18) + (20+5+1+18+19) = 122 = (18+5+19+20+18+1+9+14) + (13+5) = RESTRAIN ME

Bwahaha.

By the way, do people literally AFK mine as in leaving their desk and just letting the game mine for them? If so, that is incredibly stupid.

Well, at least we are smart enough to realize that the loudly complaining tear spammers do not necessarily represent the majority of the miners and industrialists.

I too, enjoy making sweeping generalizations about people based on their preferred playstyle...

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some rocks to shoot.

Nooooo! Then I couldn't keep abusing the Orca for risk-free billions-of-ISK transports… Cry

…or, well, I suppose if it only dropped ore hold contents, specifically, then it would be ok. P


It would still be unscannable, and I did specify Ore Hold, after all. Blink


Orca isn't unscannable. Corp hangar used to be but it's not anymore.

Only the cargobay is scannable using Cargo Scanners.

Corp hangars are only scannable by customs officers, so you cannot carry contraband in them.


…

And how the heck do you get less than 10k EHP on a Mackinaw? It has 8k EHP before you even stick a pilot in it What?

If you don't own 17 accounts to afk mine...say maybe just 1-2. This patch was awesome for small time miners.
If you mine in 0.0 with a corp...this patch was also awesome.

If you some how mine in lowsec or 0.0 on your own... this was awesome.

If however you do own zillions on hulk accounts and mine in high sec... Well your hulk is still gankable, and you'll be forced (heaven forbid) to reevaluate how you play the game a bit.

TL DR: ZOMG CHANGE!!! MOTHER ******* CHANGE I DON'T LIKE IT!!! AND I MIGHT HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!
