EVE General Discussion

And what happens if Hulkageddon is never over?

I'll be amazed if you actually manage to stretch it out. Impressed even.

I used to play eve with 4 accounts, never used a plex to pay for gametime.
One toon is pure combat toon, missions and pvp, one is combat / miner and two are pure miners/builders basicly without any combat skills.

None of my mining ships have never been ganked. (few tries byt my hulks and orcas are tanked to the boot even in highsec)
I have been away for few months because my reallife can sometimes be really hectic and busy but I have always returned.
If general attitude towards miners is KOS then I have to rethink about activating all my accounts. I can bore my self to death with one account doing missions and pvp.

But as always, In Eve the darkside of human nature really pops up ;) (or whenever you get to do anything anonymously in internet)

You, too, can be a professional Exhumer Ganker.

Your bounty: 100million for every 10 turn-ins of "Exhumer-Class Ship Killmail".

Collect and turn in. Make ISK. Enjoy~ The cost of this program isn't all that large compared to reimbursements when on an active war footing. You can check the audits of the alliance money to see how much the latter is.

It's an excellent business plan, but stuff like this can't last forever. Honestly if something like this manages to stretch out it would be the fault of the victims for not doing something about it. Indoctrinating people to become gankers isn't the answer as it simply isn't everyone's play style.

If I were at the top of that violent pyramid i'd be the one crafting the hulks to be destroyed. This has already been said, and I could care less if someone has a legitimate defense against it. It would be dumb not to take advantage of something like that,but lets be real here... extending HG for the sake of good graces is probably one of the most far-fetched excuses anyone could come up with in a game like EvE.

The part I can't figure out is how miners got it into their heads to allow themselves to become victims when they were fully warned that space wasn't safe. Risk aversion can be easy if you put some thought into it. Suicide ganking has been around long before hulkageddon V.

People will adapt. Eventually. Once they get around their self-absorbed notion that they are entitled to 100% protected mining.

that's a lot more effort than charging hundreds of millions for the mats

More importantly, we have the finance people to understand the math.

Shocking I know.

Aren't you the guy that accused us of bot moon mining?

Enlighten me. How hard is it to pull up a spreadsheet and calculate the HG revenue for the week?
As I already stated, I don't know goon income, but I don't believe you'd be dumb enough to pull a publicity stunt without a budget.
I can see them setting aside some isk to fuel their little game. As long as there are no diminishing returns on that budget, you could keep it going.



Those who think that are the ones preparing to leave in the first place due to lack of willingness to accept the nature of the game.
Honestly, it can't be that serious.

Just reading the title again...

Since when is there a war against miners?
