Or you could fit a tank and pay attention.

And its not a matter of not liking something anymore, I still rather enjoy mining as its quite relaxing,. However simply put mining for me is not profitable,.. mine a week to build 3-400mil worth of isk,.. get popped once and lose the equivilent.

what will you do when a small group of tornados kills your 2-3b mission ship?

I mean, maybe that kid wouldn't have got hurt if you weren't so obsessed with dancing frenetically for peanuts in a virtual world?

Tanking a hulk simply means it takes 2 dessies to pop instead of one, and as far as paying attention for the most part I do,. which is why I have a second monitor. However I also have to children who take priority, Simply put a child starts Crying or gets hurt,.. you dont worry about docking before taking care of the child. With the right skills being afk in a mission with an active stable tank is less likely to get get you popped than a few minutes afk in a hulk. Making mining rather a pointed waste of time for me.

You dont have children do you?

Im not saying a respec just for me,.. What im suggesting is that everone be allowed a 1 time per char, respec.
Is there anyone here who can honestly say they dont have a few skills they wouldnt mind being able to retrieve the time they wasted on it?

Let's go ahead and assume he doesn't.

Now, explain how he is wrong.

Because It doesnt matter what you do,.. children being children, especially in my case where I have two. Sibling Rivalry being what it is they will always manage to get hurt,.. or start crying because one decides to take a toy from the other. I could give a million other examples but I wont you get the point. At which point you are forced to drop whatever is you are ingaged in to see to their needs.

I think they should just increase the hitpoints on exhumers. For example, a Hulk with 3k HP each for structure, armor, and shields. Maybe a bit more powergrid and CPU.

I'm not sure why people propose huge game mechanic changes. Just balance the exhumers.

"Its ok to ignore my children because I'm playing a pretend spaceship game, but only UNTIL one of them hurts themselves."

A more tankable hulk would definatly be a solution. However we all know that is never going to happen either.

Nice try.

The hulk doesn't need a buff, it needs people to tank them in the first place.

This.

Also, hulks are the only mining vessels in eve, amirite? I love all these whine threads that pop up by noob npc alts without actually linking any killmails!

MY TITAN GOT GANKED IN JOVE SPACE, I DEMAND THEY ARE BUFFED!

Hulks are getting popped because OTEC has a monopoly going on tech, how about trying to fly a covetor which is both less appealing as a target and costs 10% of a hulk? You might not get the same isk/hr but surely its more investment viable than a hulk at the moment
