Fit a proper buffer tank, then they won't alpha you easily and a simple osprey will save the hulk(s). Depending on how much yield you want and how you rig it, a hulk can get somewhere between 12k and 30k EHPs.
If you get suicide ganked by a single Brutix, you are a failure. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Originally by: Morton Subotnik but why suicide a hulk?
For the tears usually.
On rare occasions because you want to have the belt for yourself and other resource warfare reasons.
Some may claim they do it for the loot, but that only works for completely bufferless and/or deadspace fitted Exhumers, so it's safe to say, the people that claim that are just trolling. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Originally by: Morton Subotnik what's the point of the game then?
The point of EVE, as with any other game, is enjoyment, entertainment, achievement. How you acquire that is defined by every individual alone. Get out of your mind, if you want to understand the motivations of other people. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Originally by: Merbusent Attacking mining peeps is a great way to get a 100 million isk bounty on your head
Those aren't clever mining peeps then, because all others know putting a bounty on someone's head is basically the same as giving that very person the ISK directly with "give money"...
Only when you add a greater bounty than a clone costs.
Use the bounty system to mark bad people with the bounty symbol on your overview. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Originally by: Shade Millith It's incredibly simple.
You don't want people to suicide gank you? Fly a covetor. ~20 mil, fully insurable, and nearly gets what a hulk does.
Yes your paper thin, but why would they bother with you if your not gonna loose anything? And if they do gank you? So what? It's cheap.
I have to object on the "paper thin". If you use T1 strips, you can fit a MAPC I a named DCU and MSE II for almost 10k EHPs. -------- Ideas for: Mining

A typical suicide BS gets around 900 DPS. A max buffered Hulk gets above 30k EHPs on the weakest resist. CONCORD takes some 30 seconds in 0.5 to arrive. That's 27k damage vs 30+k EHPs.
If you tank appropriate to the security level you're mining in, a single BS will never suicide gank you. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Check your facts bro, that was nerfed. It is now 13 seconds.
I see. Tried once to find those times listed somewhere but only got the 30 second figure.
Only reinforces my point really. You'd need 4+ gank BSes to suicide a max buffered Hulk in 0.5 then. There's really no excuse to not fit at least some kind of buffer to your Hulk. Even yield fitted and with cargo rigs you can get to 10-11k EHPs. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Originally by: OninoTimmo Fit small shield boosters (Gistii B-Type is good, Pith if you can afford it) and as many small shield extenders as you can manage, and Core Defence Field Purger rigs. I've survived half a dozen failed jihads using that fit.
Don't put faction or deadspace stuff on your hulk, it just screams KILLME!! on a ship scan. Don't mix active and passive tank. A Hulk with a passive tank can tank any highsec rat easily. Don't add purger rigs when fitting for buffer, fir extender rigs. Don't forget the damage control and other resistance modules. -------- Ideas for: Mining
