Dear CPP, would you please add a few more defensive slots to the Exhumer. The spineless trigger happy noobs have identified an exploit and they have all but taken the fun out of this game. Dock up in your pod, grab a rookie ship and go blow up a Mackinaw. Seriously ?!

Get out.





Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Can you explain this exploit and how it works?

Maybe with less foam and rage spewing from random holes on your face?

Yeaaah I don't see how a rookie ship can take out an exhumer......

If they're using an exploit, you don't need more slots.
If they don't, you're not using the existing slots properly so more of them won't help.

Either way, you don't need more.

Most of those exhumers are fail-fitted (no DCU). And as far I can tell, none were killed by noobships, so your claim is utter bullcrap.

First AND foremost... Catalysts are NOT! noob ships!

Secondly... Welcome to EVE, suicide ganks tend to occur!

Third and finally, tank your ****! A 650-800 DPS GANK fitted Catalyst should be able to bring down Exhumers! Especially when there's multiple of them!

Example: *snip* Posting of kill reports outside of the Crime & Punishment forum channel is prohibited. ISD Ezwal.

First loss on the list you provided...

Add a couple of armor plates, maybe a sheild extender or hardener.

When you mine don't be AFK, align to a station. When you see hostiles on grid, warp to the station.

Nothing sub-cap is gankproof, welcome to Eve. Don't fly around with a target on your back and you should be OK.

My anti-gank fitted Mack?
High is whatever I'm mining.
Medium is Medium shield extender with hardeners.
Low is DCU II with Hull tank.
Rigs are more tank.

And most importantly!

Always be aligned, never be afk, and warp out the moment you see a GANK ship on grid...

1) Tank your mining ship, sacrifice yields if you have to, can't mine if your ship is dead.

2) Keep yourself soft-aligned for quick warp-off at the very least.

3) Keep an eye on local, add known gankers in your area to your contacts under bad/negative so you can easily see when they're in system. (Also make local chat box larger, or use compact list to show more people).

4) Don't whine, that's what gankers want most of all.

I agree, lots of fail fits (again, here is the link for those that missed it):

But surely this game has got to be more than putting up with noob gankers too scared to look for quality targets in low and null sec. Its an exploit...
