they did, but just not the way they wanted it to be. the so-called nerf just makes it that the hulks cargo, not ore hold mind you, isn't really expandable for solo mining. The mackinaw is now the solo miner's ship with, an insignificant amount, less yield than the hulk. |

Apparently, making anything besides the Hulk a viable miner is like punching a baby repeatedly. Too many posts about ganker tears? Yeah, makes sense to waste bandwidth on a post like yours, OP. -1
as opposed to what you just typed? =D heh |

Personally, it really really really bothers me to see miners lose hulks. makes me wanna kick a panda cub over a bridge.
Seriously,
Okay number one there's gankers out there! yo! tank that dang barge!!!
number 2, guys! your cargo has been nerfed! that's a hint yeah? change those rigs to shield rigs!
number 3 take out one of those Mining laser upgrades for a Damage control unit! respect that there's pvp in this game!!! even though barge ganking really isn't pvp, do it anyway!
you paid over 200m for that ship! it's not worth leaving it open for destruction! it's embarrassing to see you guys get blown up by a ship that's barely worth over 100k isk!
/facepalm gawd. |

Martineski wrote:thanks but i am not a moron, it is only marginally better than the mackinaw. and make note they took the hulks defenses, and its cargo but gave nothing back. and i am not asking for UBER mining bonuses, just make it the MOST efficient like they claim. the point i am trying to make is that the hulk got absolutely 0 bonuses in this patch. oh wait it got a whole 1% bonus to ice harvesting, big deal. but better mining bonuses on the hulk would be better. as i state before, not to make it OP, but make it REALLY stand out as a fleet miner.
this patch could have gone better if it were more of a give/take patch, but over all for the hulk it was only a TAKE patch. also remember this patch was supposed to make mining more efficient as a whole, but the only ships that got MORE efficient were the lower tier ships, the hulk is exactly the same. better mining bonuses is not too much to ask.
Natsett is correct, I checked my hulk earlier today, with the orca boosting, I gained nearly 2k more EHP than I had the day before.
I really do not think you understand what's going on with the changes.
The Hulk's intention, as CCP as stated a few times already, is to be a fleet "drone" not a solo "drone." i am not calling anyone an actual drone, but you should understand what I mean if you imagine it. If you prefer to mine all by yourself and ferry ore to the station when the hold is full, then a mackinaw is perfect for that. The yield difference is marginally insignificant. Sure they changed the ice duration yield, but there's rigs for it. The mackinaw has a nice amount of EHP and the 2 mining lasers pull the same amount as if you had 3 laser, thus saving you an extra mining crystal.
I can understand your frustration if it's about the time you put in and the money you invested into flying that hulk. But me, personally, I've actually been practicing the adjustments before this patch went live.
at this point you got two choices, 1... adapt or 2... cancel your subscription. It's really that simple. |
