I predict nothing will come of your pathetic attempts to waylay my event. Thousands of hulks will die, and nobody will care about your tryhard spamming of C&P and General discussion.

Move along sonny.

Summary of thread.

Hulkageddon isn't just about exploding hulks. Anything that even slightly related to mining is fair game including Orcas if you really want to blow enough ISK with a group of people to take it out of the sky. Industrial ships too. Your bantams just provide people with a very soft target to explode with pretty much anything they have lying around.

I don't see how this is getting back at the people who participate in hulkageddon, the point of which is to make mining ships explode. You have not suggested anything to reduce the number of mining ship explosions.



I know why you dont see the point yet post in this thread.


I enjoy posting in train-wrecks of threads because it sexually pleases me to be an activate participant in the self-driven embarrassment of yet another barely literate carebear.

This is what this thread is.


Nice to know someone was able to make you come.

I beg to differ. I say the best way to enjoy the tears is to tank your exhumer as much as possible and mine to your heart's content. If you join fleet with FCs, WCs, and/or SCs that provide bonuses, then your tank will benefit from it.

The reasoning behind this is simple (two fold actually):

First, the stronger your tank, the more alpha it will take to kill your mining vessel. This means more ships needed (if flying anything smaller than a BC), better modules and ammo needed (if solo ganking), or more than one Brutix is required or perhaps a single Tempest or tier 3 BC that is fitted for maximum alpha damage (if it takes this much to kill your ship, you're doing an ok job).

Second, demand for minerals, modules, and ships increase with every ship lost. This means that if you have minerals posted in the sell orders, they will go out quicker as more ships are built to meet the demand. This should make it worthwhile to go out and mine in a Hulk while the event is running.

Of course, some gankers will scan their target for fits ahead of time to see what kind of damage is really needed so that they don't have to blindly gank to gauge their prey. If you find yourself being scanned (which is impossible to tell due to passive targeters unless the scout is stupid) then you have two options: stay and see how long you can survive or just run. More than likely you won't have time to run if you're not aligned and they are already on top of you with their "get-ready-to-be-pwned" gank ships.

Maybe not, but it will still make the suicide-gankers look pathetic for having a killboard filled with dead Bantams, which, as we all know, isn't a big feat.


I fail to see the difference between killing a defenceless Bantam vs killing a defenceless Hulk. The only difference is cost, neither is "more manly" or less pathetic than the other. It's all blowing up people's stuff.


It does make a difference to me, i think the difference is hilarious, specially the intention that lies behind it.

So? Killboards don't tell you how long a victim has played. It just tells you what gear they used. And if you have 200 Bantams on your Killboard, it might as well imply that you're only good at picking on new players.


This is a bad thing?

If you want anyone to take you seriously, then it should be. But if you just want to look like you are good at PVP, and don't really give a damn about the quality... then go ahead and kill defenseless ships. I'm not gonna stop you.

How do I know?

Because the upcoming Hulkageddon is Hulkageddon FIVE. If highbears actually read these forums and read the warnings, it wouldn't have got past Hulkageddon one.

Fun with hulkageddon:

Mine in groups of properly-tanked hulks. It's a lot more efficient to do this for a group than one-by-one, and having extra EHP makes the difference in whether or not you lose a ship.

Park a cloaked Falcon near your mining fleet. As soon as the gank starts they'll get a criminal tag and your falcon can lock and jam them, spoiling the gank AND getting you a killmail. Troll away, collect any tears that come, and enjoy the highs that come with beating other people in Eve instead of mining rocks.

edit: I gave up mining at all months ago but I do think I'll spend HAG prowling the belts looking for likely targets so that I can whore some concord killmails and possibly save a few miners. Why? Because it'll be funny as hell.

That is way to much fun for the geddon crew, i rather just point and laugh.

But sir, i do take my hat of to you (mean that). I just have a different sense of humor.

I think that this is a wonderful idea. I applaud the OP for his inventiveness , it really is nice to see carebears capable of thinking outside the box.

As a participant in the upcoming Hulkageddon the prospect of many bantams mining the belt fills me with joy.

Did I mention that my neutral alt (the one that scans hulks , that I warp to to gank the hulks) will be flying a bantam?
