Fun to see people whine who's motivation clearly is to only pvp when their targets cannot defend themselves :)

I doubt they can even see the joke in this.

96 pages of ganker tears.

And before this thread fills up with endless gloating threads from miners....(and why shouldn't they gloat? They think CCP just handed them the keys to the kingdom - removed the LAST risk they faced in highsec....)

Realize this: if you are a miner who is reading this thread, chances are YOU are the Third Little Pig.
The one that stands to benefit from knowledge of good fits and how to avoid a gank.

Sure, in reality the Wolf won't try to blow your door in. He'll move along and kick down another straw house....

but allowing the stubborn...the new....the bots to feed at the same trough 'without risk' means an impending crash in mineral prices - and the smart miners end up suffering.

So, gloat away......

No, I'm not, you are!

this is way off. because beefing up low end mining barges wont make miners mine more.... It wont make miners yield more. it simply takes away the ability for effortless griefing and gives ships that were ignored a use again after reaching the hulk.

You've clearly read none of them, since there are actually no ganker tears to be found.

I don't know what's worse; that you actually think people will buy this drivel or that you believe it to be true yourself.

No, the low level ones are useless and have no purpose. The only reason Macks are flown is because of their ice bonus.

...instead you're getting ganked because you whine and tantrum over it...

I think what's even worse is that you seem to feel entitled to safety in hisec.

A long-needed buff to mining ships does not equate to the end of suicide ganks or risk in high sec for that matter. That you're having an emotional breakdown over this is really not justified at all.

No, you fail to understand.
Nothing to do with mining 'more'.

Ganked miners mine less. Supply is impacted, driving up mineral prices for those who mine intelligently and protect their T2 300M investments with 4-5 Million in T2 mods.

Stupid miners die, smart miners get higher returns on their efforts. As it should be.
Do all miners fail at economics as badly as you do?

You know in six or so months from now when you're crying in a thread about crashing low ends I'm going to laugh so hard and point you to this thread.

Too bad that will never happen.

Are the minerals you mine free?

Nothing is free

A Retriever is clearly on the same advancement level of a Vaga.

Except my love.

Correction: Nothing is free save the things that you aren't sure you want.

"I've been playing for 3 months and I keep losing Stabbers why are they so weak."


Actually, given the SP Reqs for a Retriever (14d),

"I've been playing for 3 months and I keep losing Maelstroms(8d) why are they so weak."

You've clearly read none of them, since there are actually no ganker tears to be found.

Never came close to risk losing a stabber, but if you are low SP and go pee in a Retriever you really risk coming back and find it popped by 3 NPC frigs.

Making something easier attracts more people to the profession which means more minerals will be being mined. More minerals being mined means more supply available which drives cost down. I never took an econ class and even I know that when somethings more common it generally gets cheaper.

... and how is this a bad thing?
