If a miner is smart he would tank fit his Hulk and haul with his alt.
Just here to rustle some Jimmies.   I'm not saying  I'm just saying.

Goons use Drake blobs nowadays...

If you gankers want me to use Skiffs instead of Macks, could you guys be so nice and give 4 of those.


Are you now claiming that the Drake and the Abaddon are the same ship? Because you claimed to be seeing Shield Abaddons and when called on it, you respond with "people fly shield Drakes."

The words don't even look similar.

Not entirely.

2 Macks will easily out mine a Hulk and a hauler and be safer.

250 m/s for a mining barge isn't half bad. Of course most miner scrubs probably don't have Navigation V, but that's hardly CCP's fault, is it?

Skiff's base speed is 200m/s. Procurer's is 90m/s.
It's like, the #1 reason I fly Skiff over the other barges.

Interesting.

So, how effective is speed tanking in the context of suicide ganking? Where speed tanking = drop a jet can and orbit it while mining.

wouldn't the firing ship's position be relative?

They fly only Drakes now because Drakes are just better ships. It's as simple as that.

So where is the battle report with Shield Abaddons?

You claimed, quite specifically:

I've seen many Abaddons with shield buffer.


So why is it so hard to show us where you saw them?
