I thought it was just a small percentage, but obviously Shadow Cartel finds a lot of them and easily.

It is indeed true that most barges do not fit tanks. They never have, not even at the hight of our interdictions.

Hell, they arnt even using macks! They pick the big bay barge that CAN be ganked for profit!

So I keep hearing about Hulkageddon and I know how expensive they are and what not, but what exactly is it that draws gankers to hulks in high sec? I can't imagine its the minerals they've mined so far or just for griefing (though I'm sure this factors into it sometimes). So what is it that draws people to ganking hulks?


hulkageddon died when they made it a quartely event figure of speech , reapeating it too often and with short intervals took all the excitement out of it
and the goons prgram last year that followed didn't helped much either
also the fact that you can't solo gank a tanked hulk anymore has something to do with it aswell, remember all the gankers shouting that shooting single hulks was justified since EVE usn't a solo game , very sarcastic

I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire

There is no more Hulkygeddon because gankers now have to work together to gank ORE ships instead of having an EZ solo button


Naw... It's not hard to put together a gank ship still but that is part of it.

It's the composite of a bit more expense with tradable killrights. A ganker goes "lulz!" and nails a miner. They then get in another ship, undock and *pop* as they fly out of a station or enter a belt because they now have a bounty on their head. Repeat 3-4 times and the fun disappears pretty fast as the lossmails stack up.

If they do arrange it, you'll probably find as many bounty hunters out as gankers. That would be one hell of a fun hulkageddon to witness vs the old victims & victimizers shtick.

It also had a problem with "expanding qualifiers" - first mining ships. Then mining and haulers. Then mining, haulers and salvagers. I was wondering when shuttles and free-flying pods were going to join the list. You know, any not-desgined-for-combat class flyers.

Also, I always wondered - who the hell came up with the idea that mining in lowsec was a safe way to go?

The original intent of "hulkageddon" was to try and discourage afk mining and, to the best of my knowledge, any of the final list of ships for a hulkageddon would be pretty much dead anyway in lowsec - let alone "AFK mining". So as they expanded the list and included *ALL* space, it got pretty far from it's roots.

The entire thing was a fubar mess by the time it died but at least it was a fairly quiet death.

Dilution isn't always the solution. When you broaden your focus, the 'exclusivity' and hence the challenge start to slip away. No challenge, no fun, no hulkageddon.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Add to that the announcement of making Hulkageddon permanent and it becomes pretty clear why most people lost interest in it.
Sometimes I wonder why Mittens even did this- I always thought he was a smart guy, so he should have known that it would kill the event rather than prolong it.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

There was just some really strange stuff going on during that time period, even for EVE.
