Yes it's a target, Hulkageddon is the one time when an Orca isn't relatively safe in high sec. Normally if you tank them properly (AKA not for cargo capacity) and never move anything of value in the cargo hold they will be ignored by gankers who aren't just looking for lulz. This doesn't really change during hulkageddon save that there are a lot more people out ganking specifically for the lulz. |

It takes more than 10 seconds to plan a orca gank, especially if it has a tank which can run 200k++.
Keep moving, don't run on autopilot and unless you get really unlucky and fly into a larger suicide fleet anything that does attack you will be concorded before you go down.

An Orca can fit a tank that would make most battleships jealous. But I don't think you quite understand how suicide ganking works if you actually think your basi is going to save your Orca from a competent gank squad. |

I do understand, im just assuming they dont get it right and dont all shoot at the exact same time, if like a few shoot and get me down and i get some reps off, then the rest shoot and i get some reps off i have a higher chance to survive.. Obviously if they all fire and shoot at me the exact same time doesnt matter how many basi's i have with me.
Not knowing is gunna be the fun part i mentioned earlier :D |

If you watched Helicity Boson's gank squad taking out an orca recently you will know what i mean.

Sounds like a you tube clip title... maybe i should record it and upload it when my tears start :p
Fair enough have fun ;-), if nothing else you should be able to farm a few kill rights. |

objection !!!!
orca isn't classed as a freighter and so can fit what tank it likes
freighters can't fit anything to my knowledge and so the tank is just raw HP. |

You refuted your own argument.

I wasn't intending on posting anything of substance in this thread, but I figure it's worth a compromise to point out that you never know what you're talking about ever:

And add in a double invuln double shield extender loadout in the mids and that thing is built like a ******* tank.
It will still die though. Hulkageddon is purely for the lulz, not profit. Regards,

you are still safe in a orca if you tank it properly. If you are constantly jumping from system to system you are fine. The amount of tornadoes that you would need is more than the average highsec corp has players. Let alone finding you out of the blue and setting up the gank. Only people who will get gankin in a orca are the ones in a belt. I have more space likes than you.-á |

Can't help but know your mistaken there, chose the sec status of the system right and even a max tanked Orca (not many of them about I bet) will be a slowly expanding cloud of gas and wreckage for a reasonably small outlay in comparison to the killmail gained.
By the way, there are these things called Combat Scanner Probes, real useful when looking something to pop and the larger and slower it is the quicker you find it. |

more or less this.
You can fit a tank that could surprise most gankers ....once. after that they will bring more fire to bare. Eventually they will take you down unless they have no friends and give up. [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a208/DawnFrostbringer/OldST.jpg[/IMG] |

A well tanked orca has more ehp than a freighter. Most participants wouldn't bother with blowing up well tanked orcas when they can blow up tons more hulks, macks, cargofited orca (only have 60k ehp) with the same amount of ships needed to blow up a well tanked orca. |
