I just want to point out some obvious circumstances for you that Gankers know but those miners that think they can still mine in a barge donGÇÖt. 1.Ganker collateral loss est. 1 mill loss at cost for destroyer not including mods 2.Miner collateral loss est. 250 mill at cost for hulk not including mods, loss of ore 3.Miner collateral loss est. 150mil at cost for tier 3 battleship not including mods, loss of ore
DPS 4.Destroyer cat 1000+dps or Damage per second! 5.Battlecruiser Talos 5000+dps or Damage per second!
Tank 1.Hulk EHP 20,000+ varies on skills and fits eg ..heavy armour plates and extended cargp holds will slow you down also warping, even if your aligned correctly.
Time to destruction Destroyer will destroy your Hulk in less than 4 minutes maybe 3 Minutes Battlecruiser trier 3 will destroy your Hulk in less than 2 minutes 2.GÇ£Logi supportGÇ¥ Gank logi first 1 minute; 3.Gank Hulk second as above 2-4 minutes
Note any carebear that runs missions should realize you canGÇÖt tank this much DPS even if youGÇÖre NOT afk. Other factors Most of the time you canGÇÖt warp off because they fit warp scramblers. CONCORD will NOT get there in time, most of the time. They know where to find you You donGÇÖt know they are coming! previous Ganker characters can sometimes be irrelevant and they create new characters each time, you havenGÇÖt been war decGÇÖd so the likely hood of you seeing them in local is small.
Suggestions DonGÇÖt Mine! Gank them before they Gank you GÇ£unlikelyGÇ¥ Form a PVP defence squad to shield the miner, but you need a few PVPers as the Ganker will bring more friends the larger your squad is. Mine in a battleship, not practical because of the small cargo hold but it is mining, or use orca support or giant containers Mine in missions Mine in gravimetric sites Ninja Mine Mine into a giant container with a disposable mining ship like an Osprey. Mine in a T1 Mining barge with insurance but expect to get Ganked.
Facts These arenGÇÖt new facts, donGÇÖt fool yourself. This is a war that miners cannot win as most characters mine alone in Hi sec, but you might not get seen for a while, thereGÇÖs always a chance. This isnGÇÖt your fault even a Ganker couldnGÇÖt save a Hulk against another Ganker.
More As I have never Ganked or been Ganked, please could Gankers/PVPers post their optimum Kill rate/ stats/DPS and fits to validate claims, I have only used estimates on DPS/time and EHP. All stats that I have used are only ESTIMATES!!!

Thats a better ratter than a battleship due to such a small sig, and on par with my carriers DPS output. Inappropriate signature removed, CCP Phantom. |

DPS is completely irrelevant. As soon as a ganker shoots his guns, he'll be jammed, neuted, webbed and scrammed by concord by the time his second round is loaded and ready to be fired.
So, what to do? Simple, get a ship with the highest Alpha (first-strike) you can fit. No tank, no fancy modules, just alpha increasing mods, guns and ammo. A catalyst usually flies with a full rack of guns with only 1 or 2 rounds of ammo loaded, mids usually empty save a sensor booster and lows are all gyrostabilizers and tracking enhancers. Hell, even the rigs, if fitted, will be to improve damage.
Lock, fire your guns, die in a fire and laugh at the expensive tanked exhumer that just died, costing you almost no money.
As long as the Alpha (first-strike) is enough, even logistic backup won't help you. Yes, increasing your EHP and resists will make for the gankers to need to team up to be able to beat said exhumer.
For 0.0 or low-sec without concord, all the above simply doesn't apply as the ganker doesn't get shot by Concord and will come with a completely different s |

lol Good advice.
A lot of people are still getting away with mining. I know a group (one is a RL friend) who are still using hulks ect because they are well protected and mining tactically - Im not going to mention where or who for obvious reasons...but I am trying to get a few isk off him for keeping it disclosed haha...im an awesome friend aint I? haha
I think they are doing it more in defiance though and try and use the miniing as a lure and excuse to kill Pro goons ect...which so far is working. I'll see if he can send me a screen shot of people raging in local because they keep failing to get the kills lol.
If your desperate to mine, then I agree...have protection. Im not mega skilled in this area so cannot comment much. if you simply hate this anti mining phase, just use them as bait and gank the gankers. |

If you're "aligned correctly", you will always instantaneously warp out right when you hit the warp button. Also, Hulks should be shield tanked and if fitted properly, will always have 20k+ ehp regardless of skills (well unless you can't fit a T2 tank).

so, you're sayin it's impossible to gank Hulks now? Note : suicide gank relies on alpha, ideally a single or 2-3 salvos, not dps. It's a whole different thing when you're tanking for missions.

This is a good thing.Mine in a battleship, not practical because of the small cargo hold but it is mining, or use orca support or giant containers - Orcas make very attractive gank targets that get the attention of multiple member roaming gank squads. Be careful with them.Mine in missions - yepMine in gravimetric sites - yepNinja Mine - use AFK miners or suspected botters as a shield / more attractive target.Mine into a giant container with a disposable mining ship like an Osprey. - takes far too long to get anywhere. Use a Covetor, or even a Retriever if you're short on money or skills for proper mining shipsMine in a T1 Mining barge with insurance but expect to get Ganked. - yep. The market manipulation of technetium and Hulk prices means they're not really economically viable for risky mining ops in belts.FactsThese arenGÇÖt new facts, donGÇÖt fool yourself. This is a war that miners cannot win as most characters mine alone in Hi sec, but you might not get seen for a while, thereGÇÖs always a chance. This isnGÇÖt your fault even a Ganker couldnGÇÖt save a Hulk against another Ganker. Failure to assume responsibility for ones own personal safety is a large part of the problem. 'Entitlement' players who fail to grasp that ganking is an integral part of EvE whine the loudest and give the rest of the industrialists a bad name.MoreAs I have never Ganked or been Ganked, please could Gankers/PVPers post their optimum Kill rate/ stats/DPS and fits to validate claims, I have only used estimates on DPS/time and EHP. All stats that I have used are only ESTIMATES!!!
Corrections to ESTIMATES!!! :)
Additionally, it has been shown in many posts that a Hulk can be sufficiently tanked to resist any lone destroyer chancer that comes along (and yes, even a lone Tornado if you have the skills and fit for it) - this forces gankers to bring a bunch of friends or heavier equipment which makes the gank a whole lot more "fair" as they could equally gank pretty mch anything if they're going to bring friends and hardware to the party - which is how it should be.
The best advice reiterated here is to use grav sites and mission pockets. Scan probes show up on DSCAN you know...
