Tanking a Hulk was indeed not easy to do. Esp. for those who used not so well skilled alts to pilot them. Sadly you choose to make it hard to gank without any fitting decisions on side of the pilot. You made the game easy. You could have turned them into armor tanks and give them enough PG to fit a plate instead of filling all lowslots with mining upgrades.
You can take sand out of the sandbox if you like. Just keep in mind that when the sand is all gone only the cat poo will remain.

Of course the slaughter house still exist.

Look what you brought into the thread, CCP. I think there are more then just pigs as the basic farm animal in this game that needs saving. I think the donkeys, are getting too ******** as well. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

The typical response is usually "well hurr the ISK loss isn't balanced" - since when is anything in this game balanced around cost? The Hulk is a 300M ship, sure, but at the moment it can out-mine literally any conceivable setup on any ship in the game even without a single MLU fit. An untanked T3 or recon will also die to one 1400 volley of RF EMP L. Should that be changed as well? EVE Online: Trammel (or NGE) |

getting blown up and podded before you can react is something that does not just happen to miners
the hulk miner also has the option of reacting by seeing a tornado landing and getting out of there - of course, he's AFK and sitting still, but if they're really accounting for bad choices, well, 'heh' EVE Online: Trammel (or NGE) |

So many good quotes you have, and so hard to multi-quote.
You bringing up alpha and how awesome it is, might be a bit foolhardy. CCP just stated they are for tiericide, since it allows other ships to shine, that were once shafted. If alpha is too good, then CCP might tiericide it, so other ships will be used.
Yeah the isk stuff, True a Hulk mines more then a destoyer, so its fair for the destroyer to blow it up. But effort then (like you goons like) to build and have a hulk, takes alot more effort, then to build and have then whatever ship you talk about. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

perhaps not so valid when we're talking about nados but i'm almost sure a destroyer can land on grid and bump a miner before they're aligned? Reading my posts is like panning for gold; most it will be useless, but occasionally you'll find a nugget of gold. |

So you do support this patch then? With how this buff makes it unfair to you? And how this patch ruins all you worked for? Maybe we should change the mascot for this patch from pigs, to you. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

You deserve to be working hard in your farm, in over 100 degree heat, just to have bandits come in and **** all your family and burn all your crops down.

I haven't ganked miners since the interdiction but I don't believe that they should be given the ability to AFK mine without worries because anything that sneezes at them will be nerfed. EVE Online: Trammel (or NGE) |

orca bonuses give you extra strip miner range

You ugh.. you're um, blending a reality with a non-reality. You probably shouldn't be doing that.
Besides, in "real life", most places have sec status too. You know, it tends to separate the pissholes from the productive environments.
- "Should I rob my neighbor's house, and deal with the concordokken that soon follows?" - "My neighbor could be armed, and might shoot me without fear of concordokken, when I get flagged for can-flipping his house." - "I could get a machine gun that volleys over 9000dps, but people in certain houses might see that as unfair." - Not everyone likes live in a Renter Alliance country, and other countries might take offense to their breached sovereignty.
(Also, obligatory mention that people complaining about barge changes - spend more time posting about mining than the amount of time the majority of players actually mine.) |

This has never been, and will never be the case, ever.
You can be popped anywhere.
This update really changes nothing, even in the smallest sense. It just encourages the use of other barges, and is obviously a step in changing not only barges but everything else that is affected by limited "progression tiers". It's been explained, a lot.
Essentially, "Adding more ships to EVE, without having to actually add more ships to EVE." |

CCP Ytterbium wrote:Because, once again, this has proven how dangerous it is to jump to conclusions from a work-in-progress Singularity build; Mining Barges and Exhumer numbers are still being adjusted as we speak. EHP, cargohold, ore bay values are still up in the air. . Who, us? Jump to conclusions? Why, that would be pointless! That would be like producing pages and pages of argument concerning the benefits and detriments of Singularity specifications that we've already been told are going to change. Which is exactly what happened when I tried to post some questions about cargohold size.
So, I'm totally onboard with the fact that things are still up in the air. But I am also trying to understand the goal of the Hulk's relatively tiny cargohold size, especially in relation to size of it's "ammunition" (i.e., mining crystals), and in the other Exhumers, which have fewer strip miners to be kept fed with mining crystals.
As things stand at the moment, the Hulk's cargohold is 350m and each T2 mining crystal takes up 25m of space. At least 25m of space has be remain "open" in order to have space to change out crystals. So, the cargohold can hold 13 crystals to cover 3 strip miners. A player can therefore carry a full set of 3 crystals for one ore type in the strip miners themselves, plus another 4 full sets for 4 other ore types in the cargohold (plus one other spare crystal, in case one of those 12 other crystals should expire).
In other words, each Hulk can head out to the belts with enough crystals to fully cover 5 different kinds or ore. Which sounds like a lot, until you realize that there are 16 different types of ore in the game, and 12 different ore types in the Large Ore Clusters that appear in null space. Being able to hit only 5 different types of ore is perfectly fine in hisec -- where the belts have, at most, only 4 types at a time -- but it's pretty limiting when mining in null or in wormholes.
This limitation might be totally intentional. The idea may be that, since the Hulk is a ship that needs fleet support, haulers should be required to both take the ore away and to deliver new crystals as needed. If so, I'm totally cool with that, although it has to be said that the speeds of barges, exhumers, and haulers are such that these delivery times are likely to be exceptionally slow. But since you've already addressed a few questions in this thread, could you possibly have a go at a few other questions?
1. What is the goal of limiting Hulks to just 5 full sets of crystals at a time?
2. Shouldn't Hulk be given 3 times more space for crystals than the Skiff, since it has 3 times more strip miners? Or at least twice as much?
3. Is there any chance that the mining crystals will be shrunk from 25 m3 to something more in line with combat laser crystals?
Thanks in advance! |

except the AFK hulk miner is more like the guy who lives in a double-wide on the outskirts of town, 30 minutes away from the nearest police officer and leaves his house unlocked and doesn't have homeowner's insurance because he has an alarm
then he gets robbed, the burglars take all of his stuff and even have time to drink some coffee before getting out of there and never being caught - then the guy complains about how poor the crime protection is in his area EVE Online: Trammel (or NGE) |
