If you are losing your mack to 2x suicide catalysts... you are fitting it poorly, and I have no sympathy for you. You can easily fit a solid tank (35k+) with a modest yield...
If you want to fit for max yield, then you risk getting suicide ganked... The choice is yours... and CCP should not hold your hand and protect you anymore than they already have!!!

Thanks. The gankers always say we are 'stupid' for not tanking 100%. For me, it's RISK vs REWARD. Not stupidity. And I will almost always fit for max yield. ...and not been blown up while mining in over 1yr, 8 months. Those miners who do get exploded are AFK, period.
I'm not a highsec ganker.... and I'll admit I occasionally mine in highsec on my indy alt....
It's 100% about risk vs reward. I fit a decent tank on my exhumer, and have never lost it despite half a dozen attempts on it (although I definitely would have if I didn't tank it!). If you can mine safely, without tanking it... good for you....
If you really accept the risk when NOT tanking your ship, then you won't whine and cry and complain about OP suicide gankers if you are ganked, because you'll realize it was your choices that enabled them to gank you! |

I can't wait for Bounties to be implementable on everyone......
Put a 50m bounty on an exhumer pilot, and it'll be plenty profitable enough to suicide gank them.... |

A maxed yield, but tanked mack has 17-25k EHP (depending on player skills and gang bonuses).
An untanked max yield mack has about 12-16k EHP...
A max dps t2 fit catalyst outputs up to 700 EFT dps, and runs about 10m isk...
A max dps cheapfit catalyst outputs around 500 EFT dps, and runs about 2.5-3m isk...
Unless it's changed recently, concord's response time in a 0.5 system is ~ 20s.
It is possible to gank mackinaws for profit with these values.... although the profit margin is slim....
It is fairly easy to balance yield and tank, but if everyone is going straight yield fits, then it's time for the gank-games to begin!
