Thread title aptly describes the OP. Please, enlighten us when you lose your next ship autopiloting.

You...you ......dropped corp?

To avoid a wardec?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.

It was that or stayed docked ship spinning. To be honest I am not risking a ship because of a high sec war. Had a couple ships fit for PVP, but they weren't solo fits. As seeing that I was basically on my own to undock would have been suicide. May just as well hit self destruct. Sure I might have survived more than 30 secs, but don't' want too add to WTs epeen by adding to their killboard.

So there I am happily mining. Then I see flashy red on the overview. Oh **** I am about to get ganked. Shields gone instantly along with most of my armor. Splat goes my ship. I had the overview tab, and began frantically clicking to try to save my pod. Well it went splat too.

Lost my share of ships so no rage or tears. Just a chuckle. Actually have been training a very focused PVP skill plan. Was flying what I could afford to lose. The implants weren't even a week old. Even if your not AFK sometimes you are just ****** no matter what. System was unusually active so I never saw them coming.

Do you have a mining permit? If not, that could have been the problem. You also want to keep local open. At any time, A New Order Knight might be checking you system for AFK miners. If you have to take a bathroom break, don't forget to dock up first to be on the safe side.

You're all bad people.

Well I have now joined a PVP corp. Even took part in my first Barge kill. Why do people think they can still mine during a war dec?

You have taken the first steps toward enlightenment. Good luck, and good hunting.

Well after yesterdays event I have decided to give up mining. Well sooner than what I was going to do. Been roaming Low, and Null all day in hopes of finding a target. The 2 times I thought I had targets they slipped away. Null sec miners have started to bubble areas around ore sites. Had 6 Barges that had warped out by the time I burned out of it. Had 2 Ventures on scan in a low sec system. Couldn't pinpoint them quick enough. And unless someone is smartbombing a gate it should be rather hard to get me at a gate camp if I happen to run into one. I"m in warp almost instantly once my gate cloak deactivates.

No mining ship has the capability to tank a gank. Not even 1 vs 1 if you use a battleship.
I'm a miner/industrialist/marketeer for over a year and like what I do. It's a versatile game and not only all about pew pew non stop.
In events like hulkageddon you stop mining or die.

You take 3x 2 mil isk catalysts and blow up a 250 mil hulk.
You can not run. Any ship fitted with a MWD can catch you upon warp in even if you are aligned. The ship is too fat and slow to run. You can even bump a hulk all day and it will not be able to warp away, or just plain simply decloak next to it. Watching local is useless in HS, cuz there are always +50 people in it.

I feel sorry for noobs to eve. They save for a month mining in a crap ship or doing +100 lvl 1 missions for a retriever and poof...it's gone within 10 seconds. Or how about the toons who have a 1bil michi implant and get podded cuz their computer and or internet laggy connection is too sheit to warp away in time.

I'd like to see a goonageddon for a change. I'd like to see how they feel about making 10% isk of what they normally earn for the entire month. Lets see how they feel about worrying to undock in their safe systems cuz they can go poof. It's an allowed in game option but still its simply plain bullying, nothing more nothing less. Showing that you can destroy a defensless victim and gloat about it, it's something that kids do in primary school...

Just park your miner, let them be simple minded and wait out the storm.

Not plenty...few systems. Caldari space even next to none.
Some are many jumps away. How will a noob transport his hulk to a more or less safe zone. He'd have to transport it in a charon or something. Would he have the skills for that? I think not. Even so, you'd lose rigs for packaging it for a smaller transport ship. No way i'm putting a hulk in an orca. That's just a guaranteed double kill.

A side from that, a hulk pulls in 10mil isk an hour with full trained skills, warping to safe zones or docking every 10 minutes, no way...you'd make next to no isk and always paranoid eyes on local as if you were in NS. Even in a system with 10 people in it, you can't say who is who in the zoo, HS is just too busy. Toons jump in and out all the time.

I stand by my statement. Park the car and forget about it for a month.
