Let's start a Jita FreighterGeddon.
Run year around with prizes monthly or bi-weekly (every 2 weeks).
Must only be awarded to big hauler ganks in Jita or neighbouring systems of Jita (Perimiter etc).
Lets make those profits into losses.

Hulkageddon was nothing, Hulkageddon 2 was big!
Spread it by word of mouth in game and get people together!
Make it a well thought out event and comeback with an invitation post when you have it sorted out!

So everybody get together and expand on Hulkageddon 2 success :)
Add in a Freighter Gank prize if in Jita or neighbour systems (1 jump) to the existing Hulkageddon.
Push the brand! :)

Well, to start with, you'll need a catchphrase that doesn't plagiarize Hulkageddon.
Something like Freightricide or Freighterok or Freightpocalypse.

Sure a really good idea. Kill all the mining with regular Hulkageddons and also kill all the freight shifting with regular Freightageddons. And then we can all sit around crying that we have no products being made or sold for and in the markets. Stupid griefers with as much forsight as the end of your nose. Go back to your ratholes.

Eve would do just fine without so many carebears, there are already too many and you would not affect the pvpers at all. Most pvp people have an alt tht makes the stuff they need, getting rid of alot of carebears is always a good idea, lots of them ruin the market anyway by playing with it and putting prices up.

And the self styled snyper queen proves my point, no forsight at all. This game revolves around a balance of all of the pirates, thieves, scammers, traders, miners, haulers, corps, alliances, ad infinteum. Hulkageddon was the start of isolating one part of the game and raining destruction onto it as an occasional one off, it adds some excitement and unpredictability to eve. Make it too regular and the game mechanics start to become unbalanced. What your suggesting is regularly griefing a particular section of the game in a similar way to Hulkageddon. If you were sucessful how long do you think before hulkageddon gets regular. Then lets decide on a ravenageddon and domnixageddon until hi sec becomes a massive suicide gankers paradise and the game has to have Hi sec changed to stop all ganking of any form just so it can survive. Not whining just stating what appears to be an obvious path that hulkageddon began and you are trying to expand, go ahead have fun but don't whine when it bites your sorry asses.

It is a player game, if the players decide to do this, you have to adapt.
Eve is a game of corruption, crime and piracy. That is the game you bought.

And then we can all sit around crying that we have no products being made or sold for and in the markets. Stupid griefers with as much forsight as the end of your nose. Go back to your ratholes.
I'm sober enough to realize I don't know everything but AFAIK Hulkageddon works best on AFK mining, or people who can barely pilot their ships and have nothing in regards to a tank. With those two things I think most sober players could escape/avoid a gank in highsec, now having to always put defense over yield and always being aligned does 'kill mining' but Hulkageddon doesn't run 23/7 all year.
A freightercide would do the same, AFK pilots and those who pilot industrials/transports without thinking of any defense or can barely hop in the ship with crappy core ship skills would be much more likely to pop to it than people who pay attention and are present when they are 'playing' the game.
I'm not a griefer nor do I find trying to ruin someone's day to be the goal/requirement for me to enjoy myself but I am for just about anything that gets/keeps people sitting at the screen when they have a ship in space, AFK isn't playing the game.
Generally griefing is about messing other people's 'fun/profit' to have fun yourself where profit is little or non-existent if there are prizes and proper targets are picked to pop it isn't griefing with all the space cash that drops and prizes to be competed for. -------------------------------------------------------------- Fanboys would make great cult members. |

Hulkageddon works because it has a low entry threshold both skill and costwise and a lot of publicity by now.
Ganking freighters requires much more coordination, material and skillpoints than popping hulks in Catalysts.

Oh Milla I am happy to adapt and I agree its player driven and I agree about your views of what the game is about to some extent. However its not exclusively a pirates and thieves game. Like or hate carebears does not change the fact that they too and their game is also an integral part of eve and the pirate fraternity does not have exclusive rights to it. And it certainly isn't player controlled even if it is player driven, that honor belongs to CCP and if they saw a trend that was starting to really harm their income you would feel that control being applied really quickly. As with any real life economy. destroy it and starvation, anachy and rioting are the result. Possibly with the same end too when projected into eve. Now I don't know if that would affect the game owners income but if it starts to look that way the plug may get pulled and we all lose. The old saying of be careful what you wish for... comes to mind.

That is right, perhaps 10 battleships and thus it will require cooporeation and thus will have high rewards (the drop and slavage and prize).
The effort is rewarded along with the risk. Balance in the Eve universe and all that.

Well good luck to you I hope it all goes well. As for me you are right I am a hauler and a miner and I run two acoounts side by side as I sit at my computer. somtimes doing both things at the same time, and it will be interesting to see what happens. And even this forum and these lively discussions are part of the eve game too, so thanks for the entertainment and if I ever manage to get into pvp and , god forbid, even become a pirate too. I am sure it will only add to my fun.

That's hilarious ! Get rid of the carebears ! Oh wait, I have to log my (carebear) alt in to build some stuff. Bummer, now I have to log my other (carebear) alt in to go mining so I can have my other (carebear) alt refine it. Darn it ! I forgot that the BPO I need to build that stuff is still being researched by my other (carebear) alt. No problem, I'll just buy some stuff then. Hmmm, nothing on the market ? Why isn't anyone selling anything ? What do you mean no one is building anything to sell ? What happened to all the carebears that used to provide all the items in the market ? Sorry buddy, my (carebear) alts are all busy trying to make stuff for me to use right now. Don't have any extra to sell to you. At least not until I train my (carebear) alts up a little higher and get them some marketing skills. Once they've finished though, I'm gonna take that stuff my (carebear) alts made for me, and go kill me some carebears ! Too darn many of them bluddy carebears in the game. Oops, out of ammo. Guess I'll have to get my (carebear) alts busy making more of that too.

I'd be more into an event like tardaclysm. We gather in the main trade hubs and their adjoining systems ganking scammers, spammers, and can flippers. The event would last 48 hours and in that time teams would gather points based on the type of griefer killed. Some sort of handicap would be imposed to even the odds so Team Jita wouldn't automatically win. Kill someone selling fully rigged invisible hulks and that team wins the grand prize. Condensed ****** tears.
