Dude, me and my alts/corpbuddies have been killing hulks for ages anyway, we're not gonna make an extra special effort to get silly isk prizes.
Exploding hulks are their own reward.

They're doing exactly what we do but on a larger scale, therefore %s should hold true.

I'm still unclear on what makes Hulkageddon so special. I mean, you can just go pop a Hulk whenever you want. You don't need Helicity to tell you when.
If you're ganking for profit, you've got a network of trials in Catalysts already.
If you're ganking for fun, well, you're probably out ganking already.
Someone explain? |

Strange...My alliance runs the same scheme yet we produce no Tech and carry out no grand market manipulation. It's almost as if there's certainly a lot of profit being made in excess of what is needed to maintain ship replacement. But surely not... Goonswarm has to replace a lot more ships than you do. And many many capitals. Not according to our auditors. Ship reimbursements are a big thing, and sov-related stuff.
That said, I guess we could pay for titans like some ~elite pvp~ groups but that's just wrong. Besides, I'd be interested to see your alliance losses per person in terms of isk. Not just losses but reimbursements per person (per character, whatever). Go on.
P.S. You forgot to say you're happy and we're definitely all miserable. Don't worry though, Jita Local has got you covered. You can even double your isk. Those who cannot adapt become victims of Evolugalbugaslugakjlwsdhvbzxd |

Helicity, how's that there are still no prizes for bomb killings and Orca killings? EVE residents: 5% WH; 8% Lowsec; 15% Nullsec; 72% Highsec. CSM 7: 1 highsec resident out of 14.-á
CSM demographics vs EVE demographics, nothing to worry about... |

Someone explain? This is ganking with the purpose to beat other gankers in certain challenges. So its double the fun.
My take on it at least. |

Why is it called a "fair warning"? Not that I want to compare Hulkageddon to murder, however when a psychopath announces a series of kills then it is called a threat and only the psychopath might call it a warning. |

That one takes months, even years of long slow patience to pull off well, unless you get jollies from stealing 200 Thrashers like some kind of MMO Panty Raid.
I'd only do it if the scale of the theft would be Legendary. There isn't anything left for you to do to Carebears. -áGo, kill them some more.

With the TiDi Concord bugs in Jita showing how bad Crimwatch's coding is I suugest you all double down on patch day of Inferno Hulksters!!! You are liable to find out tons of wardeck expoights which effectively silence Concord thru out High SEC. Right now GM's backlogs I suspect are outrageous... The Incursion nerf has more then DECIMATED that community & I see plenty of questions about mining. I suspect your goal of creating as much unsubs as possible thru rage quits will be met and then some To the whiners : CCP Soundwave "Incursions are not a big issue in terms of isk globally" |

I didn't want to create a new post to the forums about this, but I do hope that it will not be overlooked here either.
I have some questions on this event if I may.
First: which ships are the targets? Obviously, Hulks and Mackinaws according to the website Helicity has provided. But the Goons kill board also mentions Orcas as well. What about Skiffs, Procurers, Covetors and Retrievers? Assuming they are not included in the reward system, one might argue that it is not efficient to gank those as it will only result in a loss of the ship that destroys the miner, and it will not be counted or rewarded at all. In this perspective, what about industrials? I've seen a fair amount of new players mining in those as they do not have a large ship yet that can hold a substantial amount of ore (regardless of how inefficient mining in an industrial is). Are all industrials included as well, or just the ones caught mining?
Second: what could players do to protect themselves? I have no Hulk ship or any mining barge for that matter (I hardly mine anyway), but assume that a player (miner) in a corp has some friends that want to protect him. Now, knowing the Hulk pilot is a target, they fly some Covert Ops ships and lay in wait. Ganker comes along and opens fire. What can the corp do to protect him without CONCORD destroying all their ships as well?
Is it possible that, assuming the Ganker opens fire first
A: because the ganker opened fire on a corp member, all members of that same corp are allowed to fire back, even though the intial assault was not directed at the players, but at the Hulk pilot? Is this also the case if the players defending the Hulk pilot are not in the same Corp, but are in the same alliance?
B: If the description of A will always lead to CONCORD attacking the corp/alliance members as well, it is only possible to legally return fire upon a ganker if all members are part of a fleet, including the Hulk pilot?
Third: the possibility of scarcity
It has been announced that the event is going to last for an entire month. This is a new record as far as the length is concerend, but assuming all participants are quite skilled in reducing the number of Hulks and Macks, could it also be that the supply of targets eventually runs out in the last week? Obviously, there are plenty of Hulks and Macks around now, so you all have your work cut out for you, but isn't it a concern that mining in High-Sec will be reduced to a standstill and only the larger corps in 0.0 sec are the only ones using Hulks and whatnot, thereby making the event a lot harder as 0.0 corps have the resources available to defend their mining operations?
It would be nice if some participants would be able to respond on the matter. |
