Insurance doesn't cut it for any T2 ship, by the time you're flying T2's you should be able to handle it.
Welcome to the sandbox, sounds like someone kicked over your sandcastle. Train shovel and bucket to lvl 5 and build a new one. Shovel and bucket is a x5 skill, so it will take a month.
Consider raising your 'board with a nail in it' skill to level 4 or so and next time that guy shows up maybe you can change his ways.
But what I do know, is that your mom (in this case, the GM's) aren't going to reimburse you, or do anything about the bully. Its a harsh sandbox.

Why mine with a Hulk if you don't need it? If you are after low level ores you can have almost the same yeld with a covetor which is a 15 mil to 19 mil ship and if you got the right skills you get a 85% of the same ammount of ore at the same time span with also a retriever which is a 5 mil ship if you know how to set it up. Most people almost 2box in mining so they don't need the high cargo capacity hulks have so I wonder why they get to use Hulks all the time. Must be like monocles...only difference is people with monocles r more chickensheets since you can never lose a monocle... |

I'm dying over here... "board with a nail in at at Lvl 5. Priceless. As for the OP. Eyes in the back of your head help Brah. Seconded on the Covetor comment also.

Originally by: TriadSte You were wardecced but you felt it be ok to go mining and got caught.
Tip of the day : When decced make that corp RED to your corp by giving it a -10 standings then all that corps members will have a nice red box in local for you.
Someone's found a way of deccing the Federal Navy Academy? Cool, details please.
Tip of the day: Get your facts right.

Hey, here's my 2 cents worth.....
Ive been gangked once before mining ice, a surprise, but no biggee. In Eve one has to learn to adapt. If ur corp gets wardeccd, fight or leave the corp until its over, or go somewhere else far, far away and do ur thing carefully. If ur system is invaded by Sansha Incursion and u cant mine, then do something else. I basically ran courier runs and missions for a week till a fleet took care of the incursion, now i can mine happily until i get gangked :) Just keep ur head up while mining, always notice who has arrived into the belt. If its an industrial, chances are he cant do much to u. If he looks suspicious, then be on guard, and be ready to warp out. if for some dumb reason u are not useing GSCs, and they flip a can on you, dont retaliate, or better yet make ur can blue. that way they'll have no satisfaction.
So basically, Eve is alot like RL. Ur brand new BMW can be stolen, wrecked. Sure its a hassle, but u can get another one and continue on. My main goal right now is to make a few billion ISKS, that way WHEN I do lose more ships for whatever reasons, I can always replace them. Also, does not hurt to have a backup ship ready for use for when u lose ur Hulk (I love my Covetor tho)...
Like we all say in Eve, expect to lose what your flying. You just have to adapt to the game mechanics...... :)

So, what would one put on one's Hulk to prevent being ganked?
For a start I would have combat drones rather than mining drones. This would be especially so if I were Away From Keyboard (AFK) a lot because what's the use of mining faster when the holds are going to be full for longer?
So, what to do with the Medium and High slots? Would you have a weapon or two in there and/or some shield stuff? If so, what?

Harsh my arse. People just buy a hulk to show off as soon as they can have the skills since mostly exhumers are close to a hulk skill training time. People mostly don't use their brains most of the time.Also don't know they can mine and outyeld a hulk with an Apocalypse. If you are at semi afk mining business then the small cycle of miner II's will make you not lose time from empty yelds if you happen to target asteroids with already small quantity of ore in them. It's much cheaper than a hulk too and you can use it for missioning if you are in to solo stuff! Only negative think is low cargo hold.
Your "advice" is ****ing awful and inaccurate. . Adapt and overcome or become a monkey on an evolution poster.

Well, to up the effort needed to gank you, try this:
[Hulk, MSE] Damage Control II Micro B66 Core Augmentation
Medium Shield Extender II Invulnerability Field II Invulnerability Field II Viscoelastic EM Ward Salubrity I
Strip Miner I Strip Miner I Strip Miner I
Medium Core Defence Field Extender I Medium Core Defence Field Extender I
Hobgoblin II x5 Mining Drone II x5

Thanks, I ought to have said something else other than 'prevent'. But something which can fight back a little is always wise.
Anyway, thank for that fit. Much appreciated.

The KM is on Eve-Kill.net. It was five suicide Thrashers who did about 99% of the damage. The sixth ship was an NPC who barely got a shot off.
When OP said 'red' he could have meant that the guys were <-5 sec status and thus would be flagged as reds if they bypassed the NPC navy ships and entered a system.
Some of the pilots involved in this gank have ganked more Hulks since Xstoner died lol

Fighting back in a Hulk is all but impossible and incredibly stupid. Five thrashers hit you, you die. End of story. At least if you don't fight back you will get kill rights.
Pro tip to the OP - If you are mining and 5 Thrashers appear, warp out immediately. Don't pass go, don't stop to smell the space roses. Run. Five thrashers appearing in an asteroid belt is a gank looking for a victim. Better part of valor and all.

Why cry on the forums when doing stuff like that is perfectly legal? :p Be tanked, keep aligned, if you see people warp on top of you, hit the warp button. Not the hardest thing in the world to do :P ----

people ganking in high sec gives me associations with someone shooting down his neighbour and proudly claims that he should have installed bullet proof glass.
Sure, it can happen in real life, so it can happen in EVE.
Doesn't mean i share your pride in what you do.

Threads like this are exactly what those of us who opposed insurance predicted would happen. People have not only gotten used to painless ship losses, now they expect and demand Eve to be on easy mode.
