And exactly as it will remain when the re-balance hits TQ. Thank you for acknowledging that there is no problem here.
Not with the original SISI stats. A Midslot tanked Hulk would be able to fit 2 MLUs and enough tank to be unprofitable.
A Retriever and Skiff would be off the charts.
The new set's fine for the Hulk (the Mack doesn't need to be taking so much of the Skiff's tanky limelite). The Hulk is going to be fragile. D-Scan will be the tool to determine profitability, instead of a ship scan.  EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

CCP stated ganking was not intended to be profitable but a valid mechanic to disrupt someone's activity.
This clearly implies something was wrong or just badly implemented and you guys just used/abused/overused this bad implementation mechanic/ships and now have the feeling this is some kind of "deserved" stuff.
Flash news: it isn't
You can still gank, just put the necessary effort to disrupt your target activity. Simple to understand isn't? brb |

It wouldnt be profitable if the miners fitted a tank. I bet we would make a profit from ganking any ship with no tank. |

Because this dev hasn't been massivly wrong in the past. The Door ring any bells? Plus the fact they they are listening to us and changing the stats back to something less overpowered would say they are listening to people like me more than you.
And if they do that's just a horrible day for Eve, because if you just go away you represent less than 5% of the ganked population, therefore irrelevant for the game, you can move on no one will miss you.
And another flash news: the game will not die because 5% cry babies move on to some other game for a couple months, actually no one gives a crap including majority of null sec players. brb |

Your point has no meanings when you clearly don't want to recognise the initial point: ganking is not intended to be profitable.
All you do is fake propaganda and crocodile tears, point blank, so cry me a river.

So why did CCP alter the stats again so that they were not stupidly overtanked?
See unlike you I am looking at more than "lol gankers cant make money anymore" and pointed out some rather big flaws in the plan. The irony of all of this is I still thing the procurer and retriver need more tank. |

Yes, you are absolutely ******* right. I cant run a mission, buy 10 thrashers for me and 9 of my closest friends, and kill a miner. How stupid of me to think that I could both run a mission and gank a miner. I cannot possibly do 2 things in eve.
I really used to believe you were not just a troll. I simply cannot believe that you don't understand the simple concept I am presenting. So I have to ask, do you really not understand that gankers DO NOT need to profit from ganking itself to be able to sustain the act of ganking indefinitely?
In order to run missions you have to stop ganking. Make a profit on ganking and you can just keep on ganking. Not even the goons could keep up ganking miners forever at a loss, the funds run out. The burn Jita weekend was great fun but again, that kind of level of killing cannot be sustained at a loss. Go ahead and look at the KBs, you will find just about every single gank victim who died was worth more in loot than the ship that killed him. This is the very simple fact of ganking, 99% of the time it is done for profit. If I just want to kill for the fun of killing why would I go for a supertank hulk when I can kill 10 untanked hulks?
My industry toon is good for 100 mil a day passive, easy. After I pay for 4 PLEX that leaves 35 million to gank with. I can easily gank on the other 3 accounts the whole time, and use the industry toon to scout, salvage, loot, and mine. |

79 pages of ganker tears. I posted back before the gank nerf was announced that this would happen. Any time an activity gets out of control CCP nerfs it. There is a long history of this. No one should be surprised that after 9000 exhumers dead CCP decided to do something. |

That point has already been acknowledged, and is completely irrelevant to current situation on the server, and the situation post fix.
You just don't understand the mechanics of the game well enough to argue about it. |

Doesn't matter if Hulks get 50k EHP et 35 and/or decent PG/CPU/Slots to fit a dam tank, you'll find ways to cry anyway, you fool no one else around but yourself.

What is a fact is that before the recent changes the skiff was redered useless. Now that CCP have reduced the buff to HP the skiff has a roll to fill.
There are other issues but the biggest has now been solved. If you want to all but garentee survivability buy a skiff. |

None, because I'm not a ******* halfwit. I would just use destroyers and friends/corpies. I would then have enough ISK to do it approximately 6 times.

I'm fine with the current Hulk stats on Sisi. Brick tanked, it's ~22k EHP. This means that, if you're not willing to take active measures to protect yourself, you are better off in a Mackinaw.
Now, I think the Mackinaw's tank should be nerfed a bit so that the Skiff has a role. If that happens, it will be best to AFK in a Skiff because of its 17k Ore Hold. Which should be nerfed a bit so the Mack has a role.
I don't care how big a tank the Skiff can fit, it's job is to fit a big tank while mining. I'm fine with 200k EHP, so long as it's got a ~Hulk Sized Ore bay and the current SISI yield.
I don't care how big an Ore Hold the Mack has, it's job is to fit a ton of Ore while mining. I'm fine with 37-40-50k m3, so long as it's relatively flimsy (brick to ~30k EHP), and the current SISI yield.
The new Build Hulk looks fine to me. Flimsy, small Cargo, but great yield if you can protect it and haul for it.
This way, none of the 3 Exhumers step on each other's new roles and there is a real choice between them. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

No, to be fair in Baltec words the proper rebalance is mining barges with 1K ehp 1 mid 1low 1high and -25% tank if using drones, so he can kill those with a T1 rifter and say "hey fit a tank"
This thread and arguments is going beyond any possible reason and it's exactly what makes Eve so sad. Keep listening scrubs and make a scrub game, when they have nothing left but other scrubs to target and it gives the crap of null sec you have right now.

This thread is really awesome and self explanatory of the game it self.
So the biggest alliances known guys/posters are crying because they can run their multiple xxxxxxxxx 10 high sec neutral and probably NPC alts but will have hard time ganking the eventual miner afk for peanuts/beer/fun with his wife or whatever.
So this is what is all about? -Eve got really really really down the hill in terms of mature community. brb |

You say this while the "evil gankers" are saying we are happy about the skiff getting a new roll as a brick tank that gankers will avoid attacking. |

Nice way to give roles. "I make this crappier so they will use the other. But hey, let's also make the other ship more crappier so people will have to pick the less worst".
Made with this mentality, the current Retriever keeps a fraction price tag and is almost a copy of the Mack.
I suggest you file for a position at CCP, the results would be pyroclastic.

They're ALL getting buffed, and RADICALLY so. The question is how to buff them so that they're ALL viable options.
With the changes as currently PROPOSED, the Skiff is entirely worthless, because the Mackinaw is not reasonably gankable (not being reasonably gankable is the Skiff's job). The only way to fix that is to reduce the Mack's PROPOSED tank. Then the Mack becomes worthless because of the Skiff's Ore Hold (having an enormous Ore Hold is the Mack's job). The only way to fix that is to reduce the Skiff's PROPOSED ore hold.
It's not a Nerf if the result is better than the current TQ, unless you've already decided that you're entitled to the SISI stats. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone
