Let me say first that I don't mind killing miners, in fact I would do it myself but I'm too busy in low sec killing frogs.
anyway, what's the big purpose behind this ? If I look at it economically, the miners win I think. since your killing miners, eventually if this continues, the supply will decrease or just stop. The demand will still be there and eventually will increase. This will drive mineral prices up. The ship market price will go up too.
Did I miss something, except the killmail and the emo rage quit that is ?
PS: from a pvp'er point of view, prices for ships must go down ...right ?

Hulkageddon is a great stimulation of the economy. A Ship builder's wet dream. Why assume that all the PvP'ers involved in the carnage are solely PvP'ers...?
Also all that stuff about tears, lulz, and KM braggin rights....

this tbh. Also hulkageddon is one of the few totally open eve-wide events around at the moment. |

Yeah, huge economic impact, especially If you think of how many gankships and fits are being burnt on this and that it is a much larger amount then the actual hulks killed (because of group kills and failed kills).
I agree with everything Barakkus posts. |

Yup, same as last year.... Hulkageddon starts, and suddently a bunch of people with no clue comes in and starts acting like they know the numbers for the market in EVE. Miners are not giving a big supply of ore compared to drone regions, missions and convoy spawns out in 0.0. So no, they are not the main part of the echo systems, they are just a bunch of people who likes torturing themselves with mining.

I'm no miner and I'm not even a mission runner since the last 2 years but even so I am sitting on about 500m in materials. The chance of a weeks disruption affecting anything other than the immediate availability of hulks, and to a far lesser degree, tempests, dessies and other gank ships and low meta modules for them, is minimal. There are still plenty on the market just at a slightly inflated price.

I've made money from the event.
That's the main reason I'm doing this, and it's the main reason I do most things in Eve.
As I've told several industrialists today, your job in Eve if you're into making money is to figure out how to make money off anything that happens. If tomorrow we decided to kill every Raven in Empire space that we saw, all you need to do is determine how our actions can profit you.
You might be best served by producing Ravens, or stockpiling and reselling Ravens, or figuring out what hulls are most popular for the suicide ships killing the Ravens, or what guns those suicide ships are using and building them, or any number of other things. You might be best served by going out and carefully choosing Ravens that have a high chance of dropping modules that, after insurance, you can sell for a profit less the costs of losing your ship.
Almost any one of these is, in one form or another, an adaptation to a shift in what's going on around you.
Hulkageddon is no different, there are just a lot of miners who only want to mine, and they can only say "Hulkageddon killed my mining ship and it is preventing me from mining, therefore Hulkageddon is killing my income." This statement doesn't have to be true. If I were an industrialist and all I did was mine, I would not be mining right now, but I would certainly be very busy making money off the fact that many fewer people are currently mining than would usually be mining as a result of the high risk to their ships.
