Of all the miners I've killed, none had a tank. Of the two that failed, the first one was my first attempt and I forgot to overheat my guns, and the second one was a tanked Hulk that we brought two (read: not thirty) Catalysts for, but failed because my corpmate accidentally targeted and shot the wrong ship, an Orca. I've soloed plenty of Hulks that had no tank, a few easily worth over a billion each, including pod and implants, with a ship that cost less than 20 mil.

I have only ever seen a fleet of destroyers as large as you are suggesting once, and they were after an Orca.

There's no point in tanking a suicide gank ship, suicide being the important word. It's guaranteed to die, why tank it?
Miners on the other hand don't expect their ships to die every time they undock, can you see the important difference?

You frign kids kill me. Do you not understand the word figurative? The number doesnt matter. 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30... and all the way to what ever number you would like to think.

The POINT BEING.... yes you should tank your barge but should it be a good organised group out to get you and they dont care about profit then it will not matter how you are tanked they will STILL kill you because you are only tanked not invunerable.

Your statement wasn't figurative, figurative implies the use of a metaphor or figure of speech such as "Mittens is the head of goonswarm" or "like a hot brick". What you did was just chuck a inflated random number at a statement and call it it figurative.

Yes people should tank their barges, and yes even a well tanked barge will die to enough ships, what you failed to mention was that there are so many untanked barges out there, the tanked ones will be passed over unless the gankers run out of targets. Unless of course you're flying it, in which case suiciding a swarm of destroyers would be worth it.

Goonswarm itself has a figurative/ diminutive name for itself, "little bees"

the gankers

Getting annoyed that gankers from Code and NO came come into a hi-sec system, flashing red as they are -7 to -10 and happily gank some industrialists.
I don't really think they understand that without these members of the community, ore would not be mined which affects ships/ammo not be built and they would suffer because of it because of increased prices.

So I would like to take action.

Don't want isk - got plenty of that, I want ship fits for frig/cruises that would allow me to gank the gankers. Any suggestion on fits?

I see people like him in real life sometimes.

They say something, believe what they have said represents what they've meant to say
and the other guy is the stupid one for being unable to read their minds to figure it out.

I see people like you in real life as well. You lack the ability to think for yourself and the ability to understand the given situation in general terms and have a mental condition that requires you to take everything as an exact value. No grey always black and white.

The number used was used as a example of gross excess. Your inability to see that instead of the JIST of the statement is not surprising.

Sorry to break up this little love spat - but this is about fits to gank the gankers - with the optimal words being FITS - loadouts...savvy?

Ganking miners takes no skill. It's like kicking a puppy. Gankers have no honor or skill.

bs. Let's see you have a go at it right now.

Honor is irrelevant. KB stats are a legitimate scale of EVE success (there is no win, btw)

Besides, most miners who are popped are AFK and I know this for a fact. Makes for more and better marketing opportunities for myself and not them. They are the lazy ones with no honor for their own profession at all.

I have yet to ever ever see a proper tanked Exhumer on a KB. Orca fits are even more embarrassing, but that's a different thread.

You mean the cargo expanded (Anti-tanked) Orcas that sacrifice a rather large percentage of their EHP for one less trip to the station?

Please take your anti ganker ships to the belts, there's nothing quite like a target rich environment.

It. because of ganker asshats why I moved to null....

Every once in a while when I'm particularly bored, I'll run a suicide alt from Amarr to Jita and blow up whoever has the audacity to scan me.

It has it's amusing moments.

Puppies are born small, cute and generally defenceless, miners are neither small or cute, and generally only defenceless by choice, please insert another coin to continue.

Yes people should tank their barges, and yes even a well tanked barge will die to enough ships, what you failed to mention was that there are so many untanked barges out there, the tanked ones will probably be passed over, until the gankers run out of easier targets. Unless of course you're flying it, in which case suiciding a swarm of destroyers would be totally worth it.

I am always glad when someone tells me what my own words mean. The number was thrown out there wasnGÇÖt meant to be a specific number but as a arbitray number.

SymantecGÇÖs.

do you feel this is some special, rare insight into eve's meta gifted unto the few by the divine

Just because you take out 5 non tanked miners doesnGÇÖt mean all miners are not tanked
