- Create your own Hisec Mining INTEL channel with information about suicide gankers. Each time you spot any of them, call their name and the system they're in. If you've been suicide ganked, report that too.
- Add suicide gankers to your watchlist and warp-out as soon as they enter in local.
- Consort with Hisec PVP corps and/or Mercenaries so they can wardec them in order to kill them before they may act.
- Use logistics in your mining ops, fit ECM drones, tank your hulks, protect yourselves.
- Distrust anyone warping to your bell. If you have no protection, report him in the Intel channel and warp out.
- Make sure to recruite more miners and mining corps to your cause. The more you are the better.
- Stop complaining, you're just feeding their egos and CCP won't help you.
You're welcome. |

Does the m^3 per hour beat a covetor ? As far as I understand there are no goon sponsored prices on barge kills. You have a fair amount of gank clowns and killboard padders, but these are not a result of the hulkageddon. |

It's a bit harder because we're expecting people to come and gank us, but if you manage to catch a hulk and point it, it's another kill for you. Make sure to post it up in GD so everyone can laugh at the nullsec miner that got caught by a ganker.
P.S. Player-held nullsec, obviously. NPC null might be easier or harder to gank in, I don't know about there. Those who cannot adapt become victims of Evolugalbugaslugakjlwsdhvbzxd |

props Hulkageddon IS irrelevant. I once shot an irrelevant in my pajamas! How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know.

This could work but.... The spam in that channel would be far worse than Jita local. They'd be better off with no intel channel as they'd end up getting ganked from being distracted by it.

Could be that you're not seeing the forest for the trees. Not understanding someone's master plan does not make it faulty. Meanwhile I see another thread running in parallel: roleplayers complaining about the lack of storyline and here it is handed to you on a platter and all people can think about is ***** and moan. What more storyline do you need? Evil empire out to take over the universe, militarily and economically and instead of resisting, everyone ducks tail and runs. From where I sit this makes for perfect roleplay and adds spice to the game. There are options, you have power. What will you do with it?

Endless cycle, miners adapt so that gankers can adapt..etc. Most of these miners also have paid for months of training time to fly their hulks with t2 crystals and strippers so now they are just supposed to walk away from that (paid) training time because CCP is letting the lunatics run the asylum.

Just create multiple channels, named after regions: Like "GI_Lonetrek". (GI would stand for Gank Intel) Miners usually don't switch that much between regions, when mining. |

A good Mercenary corp is not that expensive and they really want targets so use and abuse of those, now with the new wardec changes this is probably waste of isk, but it's not like CCP did that intendedly

I am not a miner, I used to PvP. What I oppose is one large alliance dictating the terms on which a game is going to be played and all the brainless wonders who cheer them on. Who is Mittani (other than a spoiled egocentric *******) to tell people how they will play Eve from now on? Alliances should be more limited in size so that no one wields as much power in the game.

The terms on which EVE Online is played have not changed.
What causes you to rage is a player-driven, dynamic event. The Mittani is only telling people that Goons will pay 10mil isk for every exhumer they shoot.

No you don't ,it's obvious from your posts that you don't enjoy sandbox mmo's.

No you don't ,it's obvious from your posts that you don't enjoy sandbox mmo's. You are either ignorant on this subject or you are fooling yourself. Ah well thanks for clearing that up. Having played off and on (mostly on) since June 03' I really needed someone to come along and tell me I don't like the game.
9 years and you still don't understand the sandbox, this is just so very sad... If you want instant gratification, go stimulate your genitals. EvE is Hard, deal with it. |

I have some advice for you don't' buy ships that miners make and leave Eve...you guys are going keep pushing until the miners do form some mega concurrence and we all pay dearly for it. Oh wait they did and Hulkaggeddon is their first project...suckers!!!!!!! |

No. What high sec miner should do is fight back. It's not that hard bunching together a lot of mining corporations within one alliance and utilize this power to declare war on those whom threatens the will of high sec miners.
Listen, listen, listen! This is not a hard thing to do! No matter what we think about GSF and their allies, they have this power to dictate because they took it - and you can take it too; their liberty is not greater than yours. Imagine the feeling of you and your 200 high sec miners paying a visit to a local 50 man corporation with another 130 in their pirate alliance; imagine the feeling when you stand victorious on the battlefield filled with frozen corpses - and the pirates are pirates no more.
But, yeah, sure. I guess a chat works too. "Completely un-phased? You think I'm totally lacking in any phasing? The idea that I'm anything less than half-phased I actually find offensive. It greatly phases me." |

Effort? Have you ever mined in a Hulk? All that dragging and dropping, swapping crystals and so on is a giant pain in the buttox. Here's my solution to staying safe when mining:
(1) Buy large grav sites from explorers in high-sec so at least you need to be probed out. (2) Invite concord to come and visit as quite often I'm randomly attacked by a player called Vaguely Annoying.
(1)(a) Make sure you aren't buying the large grav BM from an alt of the very people who want to gank you (trust!) (2)(a) Vaguely Annoying loses sec every time he attacks anyone with his civilian gatling laz0r.
That is all.

It's fun for a month, but continuing it indefinitely is kind-of like that annoying little ***** who keeps telling the same joke over and over. It's just not funny any more. I'm guessing if it does continue then CCP will have to make some changes to better protect miners.

They own the moons, they provide the very T2 mineral your ship is made of. You have a bunch of low SP noobs only trained in industry skills. Some of GS even work in CCP now.
And you pretend to fight back? Good luck.
Had it been the past, that is when you faced a 10 men hi sec PvP corp, then you could fight back. But you can't fight vs 10000 who already won EvE.

An event doesn't need to have a certain time limit. It could go on for years. That's why eve is a great game. When an event that disrupts leveling activity happens in, say, WoW, what do people do? Whine about it. And Blizzard cuts the event short. When the same thing happens in eve people learn to live with it and that makes for a better experience playing the game. |

Imagine WW2 with the resistance groups within Germany. Do you think they thought they could win? Of course not, but they fought back because they had a cause to fight for. The same principle can be applied here. Do you believe you have the right to play the game your way? Then do it! Don't ask favors from God (or CCP) because even if God would give you said favors, it would feel much better if you got these favors yourself.
It's the dream we fight for; that we have a birthright to claim a certain part of New Eden.
I don't usually say this because it's not a valid argument, but if your play-style is a style which relies on complete safety from gankers, then EVE isn't a game for you. I do recommend Entropia Universe which with its RCE-economy and pve-content is a valid substitute to EVE. "Completely un-phased? You think I'm totally lacking in any phasing?

One thing I think you may have missed is that things like hulkageddon aren't restricted by high sec, low sec, or even null sec. It's an impartial event that everyone everywhere can take part in. Either by doing the killing or doing the exploding. Safety in Eve is no different. Aside from concord to do the bit of policing that it does, It is up to the players to ensure either their own safety or the safety of others regardless of where you are. Local chat is merely a tool that people can use to ensure that safety. So, if you remove it from null sec, you should remove it for every part of space. That way the risk is the same. Basically, the only difference between high sec, low sec or null sec is the presence of concord, gate/station guns and sec status hits to the players. Otherwise your in the same situation where, regardless of what your doing, you should always be looking over your shoulder or watching local as it were. So don't be stupid and think that the risk is different in any other part of space in any other way than the amount of players in it. |

You know, the op made a really good point about how you can safely mine in highsec. Just about every one of his ideas would work too, though the intel channels would probably have to be separated by regions to be effective as someone else pointed out. This is how people tend to mine in null too, when mining does happen there, and it works against many small roaming gangs out there.Despite these suggestions being so good though, everyone else seems to be raging about goons in some form, or pretending to not be mad or something.
If you're going to do that then make your own thread, don't ruin this person's good idea. I'd love to see some actual player-driven change come out of hulkageddon. I may even visit highsec with my main again if it becomes less rotten.

Mine in low sec
Seriously. You are slightly safer there.
Your exhumer is liable to be ganked in both high or low sec. However, pirates looking to reap hulkageddon bounties are looking in high sec for miners, not low. Not to mention that the hulkageddon conditions specify "10 exhumers killed in high sec space will earn you 100m in bounties" meaning those in low don't count.
The availability of slightly rarer ore is just a cherry on top. Oh, and if your have protection, your bodyguards can shoot would-be gankers first in low sec, before they have a chance to engage you (unlike in high sec).
Alternatively, mine in retrievers/Covetors. Hulkageddon pirates don't get bounty credit for popping those and the value of the loot that you drop is much less. Not only is it cheaper to replace a mining barge, some pirates might not even bother with you if they don't think you're worth the sec status hit. I don't make minerals. I just make ore 20% cooler. |

Really man... if you wanna pvp, thats what nullsec/low sec and Wh space is for.
But that is far too difficult for the people who participate in this. The same people who claim that mining is easy mode and for carebears are the ones who are doubling or tripling up on defenseless miners. Does it get much easier than that?
For all the supposed hardcore pvp that goes on in null sec, there sure are an awful lot of "hardcore pvpers" spending their time in high sec killing miners.
I don't fault them for it thou, its easy money from GS, and costs them next to nothing to do with barely any penalties. The security hits either don't phase them or they just use alts who they don't care about. It's really just CCP's fault for not providing engaging enough opportunities and fun in low sec and null sec, that they are forced occupy themselves in high sec.
And as far as it being good for the economy, there are more than enough ships being destroyed in null/low sec and by new players losing ships in missions for the economy to fair just fine. Not too mention the millions of rounds of ammunition that constantly needs to be replaced in high and low sec, the modules in low sec, and the newer players buying ships they have just trained for.
So if you do enjoy H5, just say its because you love preying on innocent players, who either lack the knowledge to know how to help themselves or are too stupid to realize what is going on. Don't use excuses about how its good for the game and good for the economy, because the game and the economy were just fine before these events, they were fine between these events, and will still be fine in the future. |

Imagine WW2 with the resistance groups within Germany. Do you think they thought they could win? Of course not, but they fought back because they had a cause to fight for. The same principle can be applied here. Do you believe you have the right to play the game your way? Then do it! Don't ask favors from God (or CCP) because even if God would give you said favors, it would feel much better if you got these favors yourself. It's the dream we fight for; that we have a birthright to claim a certain part of New Eden. I don't usually say this because it's not a valid argument, but if your play-style is a style which relies on complete safety from gankers, then EVE isn't a game for you. I do recommend Entropia Universe which with its RCE-economy and pve-content is a valid substitute to EVE.
First of all WW2 is a serious thing and associating it with a game is a bit too far. Second, I think a number of people in this game, for some reason, make it so important for them that it takes priority on whatever. For many others, expecially past a certain age and maturity, a video game is the last of the last of the last of the things to spend their energies on. EvE is not worth making your blood pressure rise, it's just a game. Sure it's epic, and big and you can have a good time but in the end it's just a game. This is why some believe it's worth pouring in whatever energies just to rise their head above the mud, and will go to great lengths doing what they hate just to hope and achieve some long term objective. The others? Won't bother. Call it laziness or whatever, it's an entertrainment and some have all of 10 minutes a day to get their little slice of it.
Example: I like to do X. I have limited time to do X. I also like doing Y, but today I am not in the mood or I just don't have the time for it.
The current dominant groupthink believes and imposes on everybody that you must do Y or die. They will concede you to do X but first - like a medicine - you must do Y.
Now, despite I actually like Y, I have a rebel nature so if I am imposed Y I will just tell them to GTFO by principle.
Being imposed a whole propaganda, a whole constant hammering and brainwashing is not what I pay a game for. I get this garbage for free every day in RL just by turning on the television or reading a newspaper.
As for the safety off gankers, it's hard for them to get me in Jita IV. I still risk about 10 billions per trade (see my website for logs, screen shots etc), which is a bit more than their expendable and now groupthink subsidized 2M ship.
When I am out of Jita I am in an Hurricane or Drake (I have several alts specced in different faction ships) roaming in The Forge seeking for -10 people to kill and assisting a mercs corp. I have just 30 minutes a day to do so though, I can't change that.
I am sure the two paragraphs above clearly indicate that I am not risk averse, but groupthink averse. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Ore yield per minute is greater than the Rokh's cargo space... To use effectively, you'd need to stagger activations and make sure you move ore to a can constantly and in a timely fashion. Finally... Mining is more exciting!

You know what? I looked at this Entropia game and it has one kind of PVP where you die and lose items costed real cash. Looks harsher than EvE.
But what hit me - an EvE and RL trader - is the fact you can gain real money. Now, I always found getting e-rich very easy but also quite pointless since you can't "redeem" the ISK into RL cash. Entropia seems to have that. I am definitely going to see this game... Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Not really. It's not for calling where are the miners but where and who are the suicide gankers. But I see that by saying where are the gankers we may expose the miners... if only not miners but friendly scouts could report too that problem would be solved. |

^ what he said. Hisec folks organising intel channels need to be aware that you never report blues. No, "o/ Soandso in Eygfe". This might seem unfriendly at first, but you will very quickly learn that blue intel gets peoples' ships blown up. That, and blue intel is annoyingly spammy.
Drag red pilot's name into chat, drag solar system into chat, hit return. Perhaps include the ship type being flown (for -10 gankers this will usually be "pod"). It is also worth figuring out who the Orca alts are, and reporting them too. |

Which is EXACTLY why local should be removed in nullsec. If you are in high risk space then there really should be high risk if you want to do just about anything... not like the current PvE heaven nullspace really is.
What they should do is
Remove local so that the nullbears can actually feel the fear of being ganked... as an added bonus that would fix the AFK cloaker problem as well. Suddenly you would have to fear the active cloaker and not the one that is AFK. Remove automatic mails about POS/SOV structures being attacked. If you dont have people present that can detect the activity you should be able to sneak around and smash whoever in their faces. Remove automatic mails about hostile POSes being put in place.
Suddenly you nullbears would have to experience a bit of that risk and no safe place in eve you love to talk about... but for some strange reason you never seem to like any idea that makes YOUR risk any greater... very strange... . One thing I think you may have missed is that things like hulkageddon aren't restricted by high sec, low sec, or even null sec. It's an impartial event that everyone everywhere can take part in. Either by doing the killing or doing the exploding. Safety in Eve is no different. Aside from concord to do the bit of policing that it does, It is up to the players to ensure either their own safety or the safety of others regardless of where you are. Local chat is merely a tool that people can use to ensure that safety. So, if you remove it from null sec, you should remove it for every part of space. That way the risk is the same. Basically, the only difference between high sec, low sec or null sec is the presence of concord, gate/station guns and sec status hits to the players. Otherwise your in the same situation where, regardless of what your doing, you should always be looking over your shoulder or watching local as it were. So don't be stupid and think that the risk is different in any other part of space in any other way than the amount of players in it.
I would not be opposed to remove local from all over. But the risk IS different in highsec compared to nullsec... actually quite a bit diffrent when you think about it.
The diffrence between is simple yet substantial. In highsec you have between 10-1000 people in just about every system you go to. Most of the time the majority of those are "neuts"... which means that you cant determin if they are friendly or not. If a new neutral guy pops into "your" highsec system you simply ignore it because otherwise you would never ever leave station...
In nullsec however you have two statuses. Friendly or otherwise. If its a friend that jumps into your system you simply keep doing what you did before the friend arrived... if its not a friend then you immediatly KNOW that you need to get your bling bling ship safe or risk losing it. The result is that you initiate warp the second you notice the neutral in local... So it is in fact a LOT easier to stay safe doing PvE activities in nullsec than it is in highsec.
So while you can't see the forrest because of all the trees in highsec you immediatly spot the cat among the ferrets in nullsec... and that is a MAJOR diffrence in risk if you ask me. By removing local you would remove that huge advantage and suddenly... suddenly the nullsec hulkageddon would be very possible unlike today when every hulk and their drones warps to safety before you grid even loads. |

I once spent a couple of evenings warning people that there was a gate camp in Amamake, with alts sitting on both sides of the gate, calling out ship numbers and ship types. I saved almost nobody. Even when warned, players still jumped into the gate camp like lemmings, and died. I have a feeling this exercise will be a lot like that one. But it's worth a try. |

Ok, let's start small guys. Feel free to join "HMining INTEL" Channel or mail me in-game to start organizing all this situation we have here. Not only miners, but anyone wanting to help would be welcome.
Hisec Miners of EVE, unite!
[UPDATE #2]
Channel is up and running. Kicked a few goons (no offense). Spread the word. Tell your friends. Let the intel flow!
[UPDATE #3] - Mailing list added: Ganklist If your name is on the list and you think it shouldn't, please contact me!
Our little enterprise is growing
I don't think this will work as you will never reach the larger mining community that does not participate on the forums.
You would be better advising miners to join a wormhole or null sec corp where they can mine something better than veldspar.

If it does take off, he'll be able to take some of the better intel into Alliance chat instead. Still not perfect, but nothing is in EvE (unless you know all involved IRL, and even then it may not be 100% perfect).
I may have come here from Myst Online, but that does not make me any less bloodthirsty than the average Eve player.
