I think without using T2 rigs, the EHP of a hulk reaches around 28k?
And i believe the only real defense against an "Alpha" is EHP.
As this can possibly have its use, it makes "Alpha" easier. |

Well, It's actually been a really long time since i mined, i think the trend going is mining is starting to cease in hi sec.
This will raise low end mineral values because every 0.0 alliance in eve gets their low end minerals from hi sec.
This will drive the 0.0 miners to hi sec because they can make the absolutely same amount of isk in hi sec as 0.0.
Furthermore, Reducing yield is like fittinig more tank on your PvP ship at the expense of dps. I believe the PvP trend is mostly to have the right amount of dps otherwise your fit is gimped. |

Even if that were true (it's not, entirely. Different fleet compositions can serve entirely different purposes), it'd be seen as an acceptable sacrifice, i.e. part of the game. Anyone who PVP's knows that if you sacrifice your tank for anything else (sacrificing a shield tank for better lock times/tackle, or an armor tank for more DPS/mobility), you make yourself squishier, and you act accordingly.
That's the big fundamental difference between the two attitudes. PVP'ers make balance sacrifices all the time, and it's seen as a matter of course. Miners, on the other hand, go full gank (yield) while ignoring the tank bonus of their chosen ship and then scream about imbalances when they end up easy to gank because of it.
(note: I'm also not really telling YOU this, as I'm pretty sure you get it. This is more of a general screed for the dumbs that post **** like "WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO SACRIFICE YIELD").
Maybe its wrong to try to compare PvP with mining. As most people don't go out in a hulk expecting to engage in combat with another player...
If there should be a comparison, then it should be the fact that PvP ships should fit more tank along the lines that you'll survive longer and have less of a chance of being "alphad".
There is some grounds of people asking why yield should be sacrificed, when people are saying that it has to be sacrificed in every portion of eve. |

I seriously love seeing highsec pubbies talking about life in nullsec.
Hint: the only of those things that actually happens on a regular basis is the first one.
Hi sec dwellers*
You want to make yourself look smart, knowledgeable, and believable?
Stop being demeaning to people by labeling them with derogatory terms.
I would also suggest that a very large amount of hi sec dwellers actually have vast amounts of knowledge of nullsec. |
