Fitted Properly, a Hulk cannot be profitably ganked right now..

Instead of giving mining ships a unique role and letting the miner determine which tool is the best for the job we're just going to make them all the same and let the trisomy 32 miners fly the 500mill isk ship that is clearly the best because it costs 500mill isk.

Yes, he's completely wrong. They're not buffing the tank on the Hulk: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1481903#post1481903

They're just shrinking the cargo hold and adding an ore hold, which cargo expanders won't have an affect on.

If miners fit a hulk for max yield, they'll still have a wafer thin tank. The other mining vessels will be more tanky, so miners will have a bit more choice, but how is that a bad thing?

Gankers were already handed both the Tornado and a destroyer buff. This is just balance.

It's done for profit, and Suicide Ganking has always been done for profit

you're right, CONCORD should be removed, that way you eliminate suicide ganking entirely

99% of miners dont go anywhere where there is no CONCORD and will jump corp when wardeced. CCP are about to make mining as risk free as its possible to get in space as well as very bot friendly.
