Hulkageddon is a player made, player sponsored event.
The gist of it is; - Players are encouraged to go out and kill as many mining barges/exhumers/industrial ships as possible in whatever way they deem fit (usually by suicide ganking). - Prizes are given out to those that kill the most of a certain type of ship and/or do the deed in a certain way (ex. killing a Retriever in smartbomb-fitted battleship).
If you are a miner/industrialist then yes, you should be a bit vigilant.
Pro-tips for Hulkageddon: - don't mine in a ship that you cannot easily replace (i.e. put away that Mackinaw and use a Retriever instead). - don't mine in a ship that isn't "buffer tanked" (you want to have enough EHP (effective hit points) to survive a sudden barrage of damage before CONCORD arrives). - don't transport large amounts of materials without a scout and/or escort. - use the event to your advantage. Stockpile materials and build stuff for gankers so they can take out the "competition" for you. _______________________

You are safer... never safe. Not even in 1.0 space.

But concorde will still come to my rescue yes? if i can survive long enough 
Well, the idea is to make yourself as "unattractive" as possible to discourage a gank in the first place (by putting your EHP as high as possible). But yes, provided you can survive 5 to 10 seconds of high DPS, CONCORD will come to save the day.

oh and its just mining ships and industrial? what about a mining cruiser? can it be any ship with mining lasers?
Dunno... but I assume that any ship that mines is fair game. _______________________

Or maybe Tank up my Miner and bait some gankers teehee....5-10 seconds you say ?
Well... 5 to 10 seconds before CONCORD shows up... the incoming DPS depends entirely on what is shooting you and how many.
The really get a "feel" for how much it takes to gank a barge I recommend that you go and do it yourself (get a Thrasher and fit it with 280mm artillery guns, gyrostabilizers and tracking enhancers in the lows, and sensor boosters in the mids). See how far you get the ship into structure.  _______________________
