Topic: Post the best possible fit you can imagine that buffs the Hulk's tank to its maximum potential.

Rules:

1. No faction modules permitted. All mods have to be either T1 or T2.

2. When you post the EHP, it must be without fleet boosts. This is to get a base figure.

3. Implants are ok as long as they are required for the fit to work (ie: cpu or powergrid implants).

Here is an example:

[Hulk, 28k-29k Tank - Before overheating]
Damage Control II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core II

Medium Shield Extender II
Invulnerability Field II
Invulnerability Field II
Magnetic Scattering Amplifier II

Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal II
Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal II
Empty high slot

Medium Core Defence Field Extender I
Medium Core Defence Field Extender I

All shield related skills must be at least level 4 (5 if you are that patient) for this to be viable. Since this is meant more for maximum tank over yield, a strip miner was sacrificed. If you have a fleet booster that has Mining Foreman gang links, the added yield can somewhat compensate for the missing third strip miner. The magnetic scattering amplifier is meant to help cover the EM resistance hole that the Hulk has.

EDIT:

I know, Goose99 is trolling. Apparently he can only gank with Catalysts even though he is over a year old for an alt.

I changed the first rule a bit to allow for more modules.

Anyways, I do the best I can with the tanks. I'm always looking to stretch the EHP even further to see if it's possible. This dude hinted it was possible to get the tank to 40k, but I haven't seen that happen after experimenting. Perhaps if I fitted named/faction mods, but I'm trying to keep a budget here and I don't want to leave any expensive drops for the gankers to salvage. In fact, having such an expensive mod fitted on an exhumer is just inviting trouble.

Maybe you should remove the remaining 2 miners too, to fit some more tank, you know. This way, it takes 2 Catalysts instead of one to gank you.Bear

I call bull unless you show me the fit along with the figures (please include estimated volley damage).

I must say, that is a very expensive retriever you got there.

you'd be better off in a mining rokh.. probably same yield and more HP.

That idea is old. Besides, the idea of this thread is to have others post competing fits for an uber-tanked Hulk. I want to see how much a Hulk can be tanked. So far, no one else has posted competing fits, but we're just getting started.

Of course, it could be because the miners are hiding their better-than-mines fit from the public. In that case, I will find out for myself and make it public for the gankers to see. Twisted

EDIT:

The second point of this thread is to prove to the carebear miners that CCP doesn't need to buff the EHP for the Hulk to make it difficult for gankers. The Hulk is already perfect as it is if you know how to fit it. The tools and mods are there. Use it.

Aha! There's your problem.Lol

Confirming that if you see a Hulk with 2 mining lasers coming out of it, it will take 2 Catalysts instead of 1 to gank.Bear

Is that all you can fly?

I'm still waiting on the uber-gank fitting you use on your catalyst.
