I see all these posts about unsubbing, wah wah-ing to CCP etc.
But if you want to stop the infinite hulkageddon, just start using covetors instead of hulks.
- They're much cheaper to lose - They aren't worth ganking in the long run - They are almost as good as the hulk at mining
If everyone stopped the ******* crying and stepped down to covetors I'm sure you'd see hulkageddon die pretty quickly.
(Yes I know "hulkageddon" has ended now, but I didn't know what else to call this) |

You don't understand the mindset of a ganker do you?

Exactly, and thats what would remain, the people doing it for fun. All the people who will now join the ganking just to make easy ISK (which is what the problem really is about) will stop
edit: besides, a covetor you can easily replace, a hulk, not so much.
Also if people stopped using and buying hulks the tech price would probably sink, making it harder to fund the ganking. |

Because we're only allowed to have fun the way you want us to, after all. Some people don't like shooting other people for no reason and won't ever be persuaded to do it. |

actually killing hulkageddon would be farcically easy
between creating an information resource for hisec miners detailing fits, preparation, tactics, etc; an updated watchlist of known gankers with km proof; and moderated regional intel channels, that would pretty much be the end of mass-scale ganking right there.
however, hisec miners have no interest in playing eve with others or really doing anything beyond cycling their mining mods, which is precisely why hulkageddon exists, remains so popular, and will continue successfully for the foreseeable future |

Wrong! You are allowed to have fun exactly the way you wish. Just don't come crying when someone else has fun their own way and just happens to **** your sand castle up. Zzzzzzzz.

Mining in a coverter = death to a gank
Mining in a buffer fit Hulk = not as often as you would think
Death to hulks with no tank I dont normally troll, but when i do i do it on General Discussion. |

This. Unlike the OP, some people do "get" what the Hulk is about, its about increased tank NOT increased yeild.
While the untanked hulks and the OPs Covetor gets constantly ganked, I'll be using my fully operational starba... erm... fully tanked hulk safe in the knowledge that, unless I see multiple tornadoes or battleships on my directional scanner, I will survive any ganking attempt.
Hulk Description wrote:The Hulk is the largest craft in the second generation of mining vessels created by the ORE Syndicate. Exhumers, like their mining barge cousins, are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining modules. They are also far more resilient, better able to handle the dangers of deep space. The Hulk is, bar none, the most efficient mining vessel available.
Mining Barge Skill Bonus: 3% better yield for Strip Miners per level. 7.5% bonus to all shield resistances per level
Exhumers Skill Bonus: 3% better yield for Strip Miners per level 3% reduction in Ice Harvester duration per level
Role Bonus: Able to equip Strip Miner and Ice Harvester turrets. |

The flaw in your logic is the simple fact that either Covetor or Hulk, you are still mining. THAT is what they are after - mining.
'Hulkageddon' has been a misnomer for a few years now. Mineageddon is more accurate. Ohh poor silly goon chillrens. Nobody in high sec cares about your plans to occupy jita like a bunch of dirty hippies. "....as if 10,058 Goon voices cried out and were suddenly silenced." |

Who the Fk are you to dictate what we fly? You can't tell people who pay for a subscription to step down out of a ship that takes awhile to learn to fly. You have some nerve.
The problem is that C.C.P. has to fix the way mining is done. A way to get rid of the macro users. That was the whole point to Hulkageddon in the first place. Was to disrupt macro users. Not for asshats like you to tell miners to step down in a ship. |

OP isn't dictating anything.
IF, notice the IF.
OP is showing you that by buying Hulks you are throwing ISKs into the pockets that are paying the bounty on that same hull.
Its like the mole paying to participate in the whack-a-mole. If that's your idea of fun, by all means continue.

Everyone has thier own way of fun. If I want to fly a hulk Then I will But I also will fit it out properly to be able to handle a oncoming gank. People have tried to gank me in my Hulk and my Mackinaw but It was not I who was in a pod at the end. My attackers where. ( And they were pissed )..
Anyways To all miners fly your ship fit it properly. Don't mine alone. You will live longer and save isk. Knowledge is power and power is survival. |

I think the point is: don't buy new hulks. If you can manage that by flying your old one and not letting it get blown up, then great.

How am I the first one to like your post? This is the solution to mining woes. Unfortunately it seems that the majority of vocal miners literally, and I mean literally, not figuratively, have downs. |
