My neutral scanning alt already flies a bantam, amusing isn't it?

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 ***** some concord killmails and possibly save a few miners. Why? Because it'll be funny as hell.


I like this one. This would be hilarious as hell, if I had the fitting skills to fly a falcon I'd do this in a second.

Your a good sport sir.

There are now so many ideas that you might scan down hulks yet still only find bantams when you arrive...


Shocked

Once you think you have it all, you have actually become ignorant towards everything else.

Specially when you thought you scanned down a hulk and there are still only bantams waiting, ide **** myself to be honest.

I'll just keep moving to I do find them , it probably won't take too long. A lot of miners are too lazy to even mine their ore aligned , I'm pretty sure that there will be quite a few who think that they are safe enough in a belt on the outskirts.

If you manage it though - I'll take my virtual hat off to you.

Flash test: do you mean mining aligned WHILE MOVING or aligned while stationary?

If you google, you fail the test

I think we have a challenge, and you are right, there will b miners that will think they will be safe.
Yet, i still feel good if i can manage it a few times as a surprise.

It would make my day and hopefully for many more people giving it a try.

Sorry.....did you say something ? I was afk reading a book / watching a film and listening out for my mining lasers to let me know when the cycle finishes.

To get out quick you need to be at 75% of max speed , so I'd say moving (but as I'd rather put ballpoint pens in my eyes than mine - I could be wrong Big smile)

I'm seriously considering training for a Falcon just do to this. I have cloaky options now, but the frustration of a Falcon jamming you from a safe distance while you 'splode is just perfect for the situation.

Test passed.
Except for the fact that you can't be aligned at 75% speed yet still read a book between your mining laser cycles.

I wonder how many rookie ships it would take. No insurance for concord losses? No problem. Free rookie ships!

It would, but i like my jokes better, i am just that kind of guy. I love my ego more than anything, specially if i am able to enhance it through a online spaceship game.

Just for grins: A triple-webbing frigate alt slowing your hulk down can drop its speed to 19 m/s (and that's with all L5 skills). That means you could align to your station/POS/whatever and mine for as long as it takes to fill your hold without flying out of range of your rocks.

Better yet, two hulks triple-webbing each other. If you're attentive you can insta-warp them both out.

disclaimer: I never said I'd actually do it, I'm just throwing out amusing ideas here.
