This isn't the New Player forum, so he can actually get some good advise here. If you're going to fly a barge other than a tanked procurer, then you should consider buying a New Order permit. We're not the only gankers in Hisec, but we are the most prolific. So a permit isn't a bad recommendation at all. Our rates are reasonable after all.
OP, no mining equipment you buy will sufficiently protect you solo outside of hisec. In other words, solo mining is only viable in hisec no matter what you are flying. In hisec you have to survive 25 seconds or so while the space police come to smite your attackers. Everywhere else, there are no space police. Your attackers have unlimited time to kill your mining equipment. No matter what you pack in it, they will eventually kill you. For mining outside of hisec you need friends. I know violence isn't the answer. I got it wrong on purpose. |

Hulk? Oh lord.
When flying a hulk, name it "Please Gank Me". It will make sorting out the dscan a little easier. Do miners really give out this sort of advise? If you must mine in a T2 hull and don't want to use a Skiff, the Mackinaw is the only reasonable choice. It at least has a decent tank assuming you actually fit tank modules. Do a good job tanking it and we would need 4 T2 catalyst pilots to kill it. And bonus, it has a larger ore hold than the Hulk. I know violence isn't the answer. I got it wrong on purpose. |

Lies and slander. We do not gank code compliant miners. Buy a permit, don't mine AFK, we don't bug you. The only way shuttles get ganked is by flying them on AP otherwise known as AFK. I know violence isn't the answer. I got it wrong on purpose. |

This is the best advice evar! If you get a little unwanted touching, quit playing. You'll be PvP'ing with the leet gods of nullsec in no time with that beta male advice. Often seen in local is some take on this dialog:
p1> Did you see the way that guy logged off? p2> Freakin' epic man. p1> That guy is my hero, the way he can just, quit playing like that p2> Yeah, that is some leet logging off skill he has.
I wonder if this advice can apply to other situations?
"If somone 0.01isk's your order just log out." "See a scam in local just log out." "If you see your alliance is getting creamed on the undock of your staging system just log out" "If someone starts mining the same asteroid as you just log out."
Yeah, I think it works great. You're really onto something with this. "Come to Eve, if someone messes with you, just logout" would be an excellent marking slogan. Maybe put it in "Be a Little ***** in a Video Game" magazine or something. I know violence isn't the answer. I got it wrong on purpose. |
