Really, avoiding the situation you're in is not that hard. You can kick and scream all you want, but CCP isn't gonna change the game just for you, man. I've been mining off and on all through Hulkageddon, but I do it thus:
1. Find a system on the star map that hasn't had any ship deaths in the last hour, and very few in 24hrs 2. Fit my miner with heavy tank, not cargohold cap(You can get away with this in some systems, but NOT a dangerous .5) 3. As soon as I'm in the belt, align to station. This is the big one, and it is NOT "impossible due to the short range of the lasers", as this is how the vast majority of smart miners do it. If you are not aligned while mining, you are mining wrong. ESPECIALLY in Hulkageddon. 4. Monitor every single person who comes into Local, check their sec status, age, and corp 5. Switch belts semi-frequently, just in case
I'm willing to be that you didn't do any of these things. It sucks when you lose an expensive ship, truly. But quitting the game isn't the solution: It is to pick yourself up, rethink things, and take the first step toward earning back your Hulk. You can say that I'm "Telling you how to play the game" or some ridiculous bs, but the more civil folk in this thread are just trying to tell you the safest way to mine in a hulk. It's a specialist ship, and requires special attention to keep it alive. |

Which, if you're mining in .5, it damn well better be. |

They simply are too weak, but meh, nothing more I can say on the topic that hasnt been said.
...not sure if serious
