People don't throw away Isk on Suicide ganking like miners seem to think they do. It's done for profit, and Suicide Ganking has always been done for profit (whether Freighters, Industrials, or Barges).
To be fair, either you are mistaken or some of your peers are lying. Goonswarm Propaganda not being totally accurate about their motives? Whaaaaaa???  Anyway, I will qualify it. It's only done on a large scale for profit. How many not-for-profit Freighter ganks happen? It's not simply limited to the words of Goonswarm, perhaps zealous individuals that believe the propaganda? But then that still makes it true even if self fulfilling. Also in the case of freighters the damage necessary to kill the base hull will cost well beyond the rewards the wreck will leave. The same isn't true of any of the current exhumers. So perhaps that is a bad example. Maybe transport ships? The new Skiff's going to have 2/3rds the EHP of a Freighter. How many properly tanked Hulks do you see in lossmails in 1.0 space (where you need 3 Nados at a cost of 200m)?
Lots. 2 nados take down a max tank hulk kiddo. Just fit some DPS implants and pew - pew - *BAYSPLOSIONS* - hulk dead
Also notice how max tank hulks need max tanking skills? Without you get a crappy tank. With less than max tanking skills someone can easily fit a tank on a bc or bs and also have a full rack of magstabs/heatsinks/gyrostabs. Try fitting a tank and getting even 1 mining laser upgrade online. Not happening.
I'm happy that CCP has finally done something about this. Ganks will still happen and regularly but we will have to find out how many thrashers we need again :) |

You should ask from Ishtar pilots because it's more afk friendly than Pilgrim. an ishtar that isn't fit for passive shield regen will get murdered with one volley of EMP/Fusion L next dumb comparison between a mining ship and a combat ship, please
The AFK domi is a perfect example. More tank than a crappy ishtar and yes it can withstand a bs gank. Also left alone since it only costs ~100 mil to make and also makes more isk/hr than any hulk |

If you need more deeps you dont have implants or aren't scanning their fit first and picking the ammo needed or are using meta 0 guns. |

When did highsec exploration get nerfed? Last I saw it got a huge buff so asshats couldn't hold the sites open all day to prevent people from getting the items they were trying to sell. Also didn't they just add more sites? I'm confused.
Could swear that as soon as that changed it went from no sites in a 10 system spread to at least 100m isk/hr in highsec sites |
