The ones who build Catalysts are the ones you have to watch.

Basically it stopped being profitable. Hulkageddon was about Goons making profit via their Hulk BPO's & Tech Monopoly. With the new barges, and the downturn in hulks being used, less profit involved.

Nah there's nothing in Catalyst production margins wise.

There's a decent profit on capital investment, but a terrible, terrible return measured per manufacturing line hour used.

The same is true for all the other parts of a Gankalyst.

It's much more profitable to use those slots to build Mackinaws, sell them to gankees, then use those profits to buy Catalysts from the market, allowing the cycle to repeat.

Except the blog is hilarious and sounds like a fun, reading it gives people awesome goodness.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

All you're "X-aggedon" can ever hope to accomplish is for CCP to nerf Catalysts.

Y'know why? Because all those "bots" you complain about are feeding minerals into Jita, and from Jita into the nullblock groups who use them to build those 2000+ ship supercap fleets that they all love so much.

Now take a look at the CSM lineup. Notice anything? You've got one EvE Uni guy and all the rest are nullblock lobbyists. So in the end when you shoot at hisec miners what you're really doing is shooting at the CSMs... by about two degrees of separation.

So when those Catalysts get nerfed down to the point where you need two dozen to gank a single untanked Retriever, well, don't say I didn't warn you.

What is an illegal mining ship? Is it sold in the special edition section? I must buy one to spin in my hangar!

Last time I looked my alt in a skiff had 108,000 ehp to worst resist (with a mining mod and lasers fitted). Last time I looked it was easy enough to get a procurer to do 55k ehp. There is no pressing need to nerf destroyers, as having more hitpoints than a cargo orca is easily within the reach of the average miner.

If they ruin catalysts, then they also ruin the skiff / procrurer as valid fitting options.

Note that having to kill a large number of skiffs would be so improbable due to GCC consumption, that any significant population shift to skiffs would essentially give herd immunity to most miners in them.

Hulkageddon isn't an event, its a state of mind.

I'm certain that more people know the New Order than you, so why don't you come down from your high horse, you nobody. :)

Hell yeah. INSANE mineral price increases. Instead of mining all day, you could mine almost all day and fap a second time.

I'm sure life without CONCORD would be a huge shock to some people -- and definitely a huge source of entertainment for some of us, if only for a few days.

Haha do Concord have a union then? They should complain about the long hours, minimum wage and lack of benefits.

Hahaha I totally understand what you mean, but Erotica herself isn't everybody else of the New Order and it's irrelevant what they think of themselvses. The group is well known, thus it's not nobodies.

Why do you feel the need to have somebody else create content for you?

If you want to gank people then go ahead, nothing is stopping you.

How about you let go of mummies hand and try and do something yourself, you never know, you might enjoy it Blink
