I made a choice when I started playing this game either I was gonna be a great pvp pilot or an industrialist/miner....time has come for me to move on from mining in hi sec. I need some tips on equipping a Hulk. Halada's guide recommends: High:3x T2 Strips Mid:1x Gistii-A Small Shield Booster 1x Eutectic Cap Recharger 2x Gist-B NPC Specific Hardeners Low:2x MLU Does this seem reasonable? Also any tips regarding where to actually go? My skills are geared to be able to tank as well as mine so I think I'm ok to handle npc's but not sure how i'll do vs pirates. I need out of hi sec to get my juices back there's only so much mind numbing mining I can do anymore. Thank you for any constructive advice.

Edited by: Braaage on 31/03/2009 12:45:14 That's exactly what my old setup on my hulk used to be when I mined in the RIT triangle in deep 0.0. It can with the right skills (passive shield tanking skills are a must) trained up tank a triple BS spawn.
You wont survive against pirates or in PVP at all, then again it's a mining ship so don't expect to
As for where to go, your best bet is to join a 0.0 alliance. --

with max skills, I don't think you need the two gistii hardeners anymore. t2 will suffice cpu-wise. You only need them if you have two drone mining augmentors. _______________ <Q> QUANT Hegemony QUANT is rebuilding, EVE-Mail me for recruitment info. Item Database |

In all honesty tanks not that important.
In 0.0 if you're in a good mining system they'll be people around for npc's if you can't tank.
If you let a pirate come up and kill you, your own fault. No tank will help you.
In all honesty join a good alliance you'll know when a red is coming your way. And hopefully most of the time you'll be mining with others, and there should be a few pvp dudes around.
Good luck.

Something not mentioned, as far as tank goes... if you know who you'll be dealing with (Rat wise) you can go with a couple shield resistance rigs (for the appropriate damage type) and significantly increase your tank.

In 0.0, I would probably drop those MLU's and go with maybe power diags. Throw in 2 shield extender rigs and you have a pretty good tank.
Regardless, of who is around me in 0.0, I always plan for the worst. I'd rather have to make numerous trips vice drop my tank to make room for more cargo and loose a ship.

By all means, youre wrong. The tank on the hulk is one of its best weapons.
My 0.0 fit was simple:
3x t2 stripminers 2x t2 invuln fields 2x pithi b small shield boosters 2x capacitor flux coils II (I think) 2x ccc rigs
Tanked any 0.0 spawn ive seen. I was attacked by a lone arazu, a hulk is usually easy fodder for a recon but my tank + pretty much maxed droneskills and 5x hammerheads II quickly killed his drones one by one. It was stalemate so i warped in a commandship alt to chase him away and so I did.
A 0.0 miner should provide his own tank, its not a good thing beeing dependant of others when youre in a isk makin machine. Its much more appriciated if you pull youre own load.

What I currently have is:
High: 3 T2 Strip Med: Invul T2, Pith-A Shield Booster, T1 Boost Amp, (Survey Scanner II) Low: DC II, MLU I
You might need high Electronics Skills for this to work but this setup served me well

This is old setup, grom the time, when you had to pay 100M for gistii shield booster and 500M for Hulk. Now it's 100M for Hulk and 200-300 for shield booster. In newest guide Halada proposed 2x CCC, but keeps cap recharger. Dunno why.
