Weaselior GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 3373	Posted - 2012.06.14 03:01:00 - [1] - Quote Greetings friends! I'm here to tell you about an exciting new phase of the behavior correction program Goonswarm is sponsoring for the benefit of the EVE Community. We've all grown to loathe the highsec miner - entitled, bleating that he deserves to mine in perfect safety in highsec. Demanding that highsec be made safe, that his hulk be buffed, and anyone who would be so unthinking and savage must be banned from the game. Hulkageddon V was a resounding sucess: cutting highsec mining in half and butchering over one trillion isk worth of ships. Hulkageddon: Infinity has continued this work, tearing those miners who had merely hid in a station for a month before bringing out their completely untanked hulk they wanted to afk in to shreads and causing nearly another trillion isk worth of destruction. This has been a fantastic educational program for the EVE community, and with your help we can make it even better. Now, as you may have heard, our joint efforts against miners has caused a number of these pigeons of eve to flock to covetors. They reason that, because a covetor contains no technetium, that they will be safe from harm and able to once again mine in the absolute safety they crave. That people ganking them are the small-minded isk per hour cretins they surround themselves with. Secure in the knowledge that it would not be profitable to scourge them, they have taken to mining untanked, unaligned, afk: the very definition of the entitled human bot we have all grown to loathe. We know that's not the case, and that's why we're proud to announce Hulkageddon Infinity: Jr. League. For every 10 mining barges - covetors, retrievers, and procurers - you gank, you will be reimbursed 25 million isk - more than enough to fit the 10 t1 fit destroyers needed. Now, of course, we'll continue paying you for the exhumers you gank: we would hate to slacken the pace of the exhumer slaughter. But if you find a field of covetors all busily botting away, there's no longer any need to leave them alone while you hunt down an exhumer to kill! Due to their weaker tank, they can be killed with a pure t1 destroyer - no need to fit t2, allowing you to continue your ganking indefinitely on the mining barge bounty. In fact, some mining barges are so lightly tanked that if you're willing to make the sacrifice and go -10, you can pod them with the very same destroyer that killed their ship and bask in the +5s and +5% mining implants they had plugged in. Many of these people believe that people cannot actually be podded in empire: the stern thrashing given by destroying their alpha clone may even prevent them from such activity in the future as they lose skillpoints. We hope that by extending this behavior correction program to mining barges as well, we will finally reach those poor deluded souls that can be saved from venturing down the path of mining and to dissuade young impressionable eve players from making this terrible choice to begin with. With your help, and your vicious flogging of miners, we can make EVE a better place, where nobody mines peacefully, unaware of the world. Payouts will be handled in the same way as regular Hulkageddon Infinity bounties: we are upgrading our software as we speak and the Jr. League bounties will begin immediately.

Mine more moons and come back with a better offer... or stop trolling the forums. 1/10 As mentioned, this offer is not for people interested in isk per hour. This offer is to support those who play EVE in its best form, so they do not need to think about isk per hour. Regrettably we cannot increase the payouts or we risk people attempting to defraud the system, or we would happily do so.

It'll give you some good practice.

I mean surely a 7 second barge bash cant be all that exhilarating, even if the killer is anti miner It is, it really really is.

How to tank a covetor you shouldn't have to tank one or a hulk. It's a mining ship. Do you think BP or Shell half fill their ship just incase they sink, no they brim the sh!te out of them and get the oil to market a fast as possible. they do when they pass somalia!

Honestly once you're going for t1 mining ships its not a question of "what do I need to kill it" as "how many can I kill at once". My record is 4, but there were only 4 in the belt. In any case this has the potential to be more profitable than ganking exhumers since you can earn a payout every 2-3 GCCs. Holy crap, that's going into the first post.

Only after the mining barge hunt fails as well, new bounties are put on mining battleships and any vessels found mining, that and also fails to drive mineral prices back up. And they're on a deadline now that CCP announced exhumer changes for the winter. Should be fun to watch tho. lowends have skyrocketed: it's highends that are slumping, but you can't mine highends in empire so if we had 1t in minerals but were losing money it would have to be highends sorry but your allegations don't even make any sense

Unlike the afk miner, playing EVE as if it were a particularly boring single-player game, real eve players play this as a multiplayer game.

Yet another illeterate who could not read the Sandbox Memo. GTFO. I prefer to think of the term "sandbox" as encouraging me to rub sand in your eyes and hurl buckets at your head until you leave.

This is bannable. The work around is throw away trial accounts, which has been done heavily every time. Nobody's defending this practice and I've never seen any evidence it's actually common, merely wild accusations from highsec miners. I personally, as you may note, am -10, I own two more characters that can't enter highsec (one -10, one a shameful -6.3) and have never ganked on anyone else. Well, except for my concord-pulling alt who is -1.9 and got trained into a 0.0 industry alt.
