"Hulkageddon" lets look at this word. "Hulk" a ship class in EvE Online. "geddon" abbreviation to the word Armageddon, according to wiki: "Armageddon (from Hebrew: +ö+++¿ +P+¦+Æ+¦+ô+++ò+¦GÇÄ, Har Megiddo, lit. Mount Megiddo; Ancient Greek: ß+ë-ü+++¦+¦+¦+¦-Ä++ Harmaged+ìn,[1][2] Late Latin: Armaged+ìn[3]) is, according to the Bible, the site of a battle during the end times, variously interpreted as either a literal or symbolic location. The term is also used in a generic sense to refer to any end of the world scenario." " refer to any end of the world scenario" So lets but the two words together now. Hulk (the ship) + a (??? english for conjoining two words that are both adjecteves) + geddon (" refer to any end of the world scenario") Therefore a hulkageddon means end of the world scenario for hulks. So I hope you learned something today about the English language and the yearly even of EvE Online

It all depends. That's my point - there are always things you can do to protect yourself in high low, or 0. You just have to NOT be AFK.

What a noob. Of course you can use smart bombs in high sec. Yes you do get a warning message and you can ignore it and fire away. If you hit any innocent targets you will get concorded. Gankers use these all the time in high sec. The favorite weapon of choice because you do not even have to target lock someone. Just get in range and fire away. Just about no way to stop this type of attack. So it becomes simple math. How many of these do you need to kill the target in one volley. Then get into position and fire target is dead. Unless you messed up on the math and did not bring enough heat. And I am only one month old to boot. I thought I was a noob. LOL! |

Players ruining other people's fun to increase their own enjoyment of the game. Welcome to eve.
You do wonder about the mentality of people who get soo much enjoyment from griefing.
Tbh this has been a real learning curve for me. It has made me realise how insignificant the losses actually are.
Like everyone keeps saying, just dock up your hulk and go do something else. If you keep flying hulks you are only providing more ammunition for the scumbags. |

As far as I can tell theyre not talking about smartbombs but about bomb launchers, two different things. You are right about smartbombs but bomb launchers dont work in any space above 0.0 security rating. If it turns out they do mean smartbombs then i guess theres been a bit of a communication fuckup. |

Derp, this is easy. Ninja salvage L4 mission runners. Most don't ever shoot back. Take loot. Reprocess. Buy Catalyst BPO (or BPC). Make Catalysts. Fit half of them with Meta2/Meta3 T1 crap you got from mission.
Do you really think that industrialists are required to make ships for gankers? Most of mine I build myself. I always christen them with a bottle of miner tears when they roll off the line.

That sounds pretty explicitly like a "launched bomb" (unusable in 0.1+ space) to me. He also mentions "lock-breakers" which is another type of Stealth-Bomber bomb. Unless he meant ECM burst, which in hisec, is just begging to get yourself CONCORD'ed in any number of loltastic ways. In irae, veritas. |

Takes you 2 weeks to mine isk for a new hulk? takes anyone else with initiative and an IQ above 75 less than a day.

A few hours of lvl4 mission running, or even mining yields enough wealth to replace a lost hulk in no-time. Lost several mining ships of all types myself, well, it's only a minor annoyance - players wihch are into everyday PvP loose a LOT more than the worth of a hulk in a few days.
Simply put, if you don't want to risk your Hulk during Hulkageddon, just don't mine during Hulkageddon, or if you really need to do, take some precautions. Mining in missions gives you some advantage, as many gankers don't bother to scan every system for mission miners, they just scout the belts, but you're always at risk.
Hulkageddon is announced weeks and months before it's actually commencing, thus actively following the community keeps you informed of such events. As I'm not into ganking, I personally see no point in actively taking part in Hulkageddon myself (neither as offender, nor a potential victim), but if people find it to be fun, it's their absolute right to do so. Also, if people think Hulkageddon is so much of a bother to them that they decide to quit, my sincere farewell to them ;) |

You aren't safe. Goons are starting to pay for mining barge kills too. And even if you mine in a T1, someone looking for that extra bit of tears will kill that too.
There is no such thing as "safe" in EvE unless you are docked. That's what makes it so damn fun.

Your average miner does not control the prices of minerals and the moon goo required to build hulks(as an example). Your alliance however does, hulkageddon is something your higher ups thought of to keep ship prices high, your alliance is as much of a reason as any other external factor so quit blaming your average high sec miner for the price of hulks, Especially when a good portion of a hulk is made out of null sec materials.
-miners tend to see themselves as victims of the terrible horrible griefer even though the griefer was the victim of the terrible horrible miner's greed first
Again an argument with no substance (surprise), many people who do not engage in industry fail to actually understand the time it takes to not only build the ships but also to ensure the bpo is researched properly. regardless hulkageddon primarily targets the high sec miner who have limited access to ores and are likely not the ones rolling out the majority of ships being sold.
Secondly being someone that has done ratting and industry I find it funny that anyone would accuse of a miner of being greedy when it is perfectly viable with decent skills to earn in excess of 60million an hour in high sec doing incursions or in null sec ratting where as there is a hard cap on miners, per toon it would be hard if not impossible for a miner (per toon) to earn around 20-30million in an hour which is half that of a ratter.
The above point highlights that miners are currently low in the food chain when it comes to isk making and that the only attraction to doing it was the fact they used to be able to simply sit back and watch a movie while mining veld.
You can blame the high sec miner all you like but the fact remains that the only people driving up mineral prices and thus ship prices are those that partake in hulkageddon not because the miner wants to spite you but because the loss of supply has upset the balance between supply and demand forcing increases in what people are willing to pay.
-miners are more likely to be angry middle aged midlife crisis types, younger kids who are new to MMOs and think ISK=real money, or hebrews who should be applying economic principles learned in eve to their real life finances instead of wasting their time on video games
Again another baseless assumption akin to the majority of your alliance, no matter what you do in a video game whether it is mining or pvping you are 'wasting time' depending on your point of view. Your actions in a video game cannot determine whether the time was well spent or not but then I do not expect you to think logically based on your statements in this post.
-goonswarm is always at fault no matter what
Something you lot take pride in, you have such a loathing for those that like to hoard isk and yet your alliance is partially responsible for setting t2 prices at fixed level as well as scamming people on a regular basis. Only yesterday was one of my alts confronted with a proposition by one of your idiotic members wanting me to join your alliance for the bargain price of 60% of my wallet in exchange for access to a vast variety of bpo's.
youre all welcome
oh ******** just realised i bumped this hardcore, my apologies
That being said some miners do themselves no favors. if you want to be safe then mine in mission areas, mine in low population areas and keep an eye on local and who warps in on you, be aligned to a station at all times and do not take any chances. High sec is safer than null but it is not safe.

The sad thing about those viewpoints is that it's producers/traders and their buy orders that exceed the cost of miner-placed sell orders in many if not most high-sec regions that drive up at least parts of the mineral price, not miners posting sell orders.
Tusen Takk wrote:-miners tend to see themselves as victims of the terrible horrible griefer even though the griefer was the victim of the terrible horrible miner's greed first
It's a shame that it seems most people believe that L4s are at least as safe as mining if not safer and more profitable as well yet still make complaints like that in light of producers/traders jacking up prices by placing buy orders with higher per-unit prices than sell orders have.

oh and just a heads up, the average miner in eve usually has a market alt so they can take care of the pesky buy/sells themselves since theyre realising that youd be an idiot to just sell your mins outright. excellent try though *golfclap*
most of the rich people in eve online that ive met are industrialists, miners, and marketers, though i have met a fair share of scammers and lucky nullsec ratters etc. and they all point fingers at each other and say IT'S HIS GREED NOT MINE. all of it boils down to carebear vs not carebears, and if youre paying money to play a game to only sit in that game making fake money and not shooting other people at all, youre probably playing the wrong game and should try the stockmarket instead of a spaceships market. just sayin. |

I lived in lowsec, I mined there, I "tried" to teach miners coming from HighSec running from Hulkageddon how to mine. My lesson started with: 1. You jump into your fast Frigate to make bookmarks. (Answer: What do i need a fast frigate for? I dont have one!) 2. Then some of you get in to a frigate with a cloak to scout (Answer: I still dont have frigate, we can use cloaks yes, so we can use cloaky Haulers, but if we scout, we cant make money!) 3. Then some of you jump into Drakes or whatnot (Answer: What? Even less Money???) 4. Then one Hauls... (Answer: Ok, I jump into my Orca or can we use a Rorq in the Belt?)... No, a T1 Hauler, that can hold a can (Answer: But that means the Hauler has to run so often!) 5. The rest of you gets into Covetors and starts to mine. (Answer: ... ... ... What is this Covetor you talk of? A Hulk or what?) 6. No the T1 Hulk, as it is expandable and insurable (Answer: But the Yield! The Yield!) 7. Get into your F...ING Covetors you Morons!
Many Highsec Miners are just not able to include losses into their ISK/Hour equation. I stopped trying to teach mining to highseccers shortly after. I am not quiet up to date, but how many Covetors can you lose before it is the same cost as one Hulk? Including insurance of course. Like ten maybe?
So basically: Loosing a Hulk: Coming to the forums full of tears, quitting the game Loosing a Covetor: Shrug, buy a new one, mine on. |

not including insurance 5 fit covetors is about the price of 1 fit hulk. my yield difference in a hulk is about 1600 m3/cycle while the covetor is about 1400 m3/cycle. i traded in 3 hulks for 15 covetors. there is now the mining barge geddon or whatever but i don't see many people jumping through humps to destroy their sec rating for a lousy 25m reward. a covetor is a softer target, but if i was ganking the isk the miner loses over a covetor just wouldnt be worth the effort / sec loss. i'd rather take out a hulk, a covetor the miner would just |

Very seldom if ever do I post on any forum, but for this thread I find I must break my silence. I firmly support any long lasting Hulkageddon, merely for the fact that I have large stockpiles of minerals, ore, ice and ice materials, just waiting to sell for high prices. Please Goons, continue with the fine work and keep this going as long as possible. If I weren't such a carebear, I would totally join in on the hulk bashing myself. Instead, I think I will head out into nullsec belts and sacrifice a few hulks to the Gods of EVE, and and two of their children, MoA and Goons.
Have fun, and release the trolls!
PS -- I want to change my avatar to a cave troll. |

Wait, what? It took 3 thrashers to kill you?
As a miner/industrialist, I'd normally sympathize. However itGÇÖd take 2 or three battleships to kill my hulk. Did you have any kind of tank fit?
On a different note, if youGÇÖre that tight on cash, you should have been flying covetors until your cash situation evened out. Never, and I mean NEVER fly a ship you donGÇÖt have the cash to replace.
Sorry you felt the need to quit, but this game can be hard on those who donGÇÖt pick up this stuff quickly.

And I know that this will get trolled to hell and back. Hiding behind some Internet Avatar and flinging big words is easy, heh? Well this was my last reply here, fly safe.
