S Byerley, is that you?
Wait, don't answer. You could get banned for claiming to be an alt.

Perhaps you didn't bother to notice that the Retriever (not Hulk) was completely untanked? The fact that the pod was killed before CONCORD killed the ganker indicates that the pilot was AFK.
Get your facts straight before you start slinging **** at the wall to see what sticks.

Are you even reading the links that you're posting? Do you know how to read them?

You can push 700 on a max skills gank fit with cheap implants, Void, and preheating your guns.
Edit: Still wrong about 800 though. That'd be a pricey damned fit if it's even doable.

Unfortunately, CCP hasn't built the tank directly into the hull yet. Look for mining barges and exhumers to be revamped to be almost exactly like freighters in the near future. Mining vessels will have max mining output rolled into the hull, as well as the resists, and resultant EHP of a DCU, invuln, and shield extenders/rigs, leaving only high slots for the chosen mining modules.
Or course, they will still scream like babbies fresh off the teat when their crap continues to be ganked.

Rumour has it that the new scanning system is severely dumbed-down and automated these days. Surely even a miner can make use of it?
It's possible, but you have to give up a lot of potential yield to do it.

Even if you are not afk and aligned the speed these destroyers take out exhumers is scary, Insta lock and scram... game over
If you're not AFK, then you must notice that scanning ship or Venture with its nose crammed square up the ass of your mining ship at 0m, providing the warp-in for his gank buddies. That's your first indicator that it's time to GTFO.

in my experience there is no way of seeing a covert ship? that's what provided the warp in
Yeah, and by the time his buddy landed, you were already a ways away, because you were mining aligned, orbiting, or at least burning around instead of sitting still, right? You had your drones out and orbiting to keep a covops from getting too close to you, right?
And a solo ganker with no scout is not going to catch you before you can warp out if you're paying attention. Don't mine on the warpin to the belt, or anywhere near it. Mine aligned as much as possible, or orbit your asteroid. Fit a damned tank and quit going for max yield all the time.
Really, what you should do is stop all this pedantic crap, and ask Baltec or Fappington or another regular ganker if you can tag along on a real gank of some sort, so that you can see what it's like on the other side of things. You can see who gets left alone and why, who gets away and why, and maybe have some clue as you why you or your friends were singled out to die. Because us telling you people over and over how to avoid it doesn't seem to work. Maybe learning by doing would help.

Just one? You need to stay logged in longer. I've seen one die every 20 minutes since DT. True story, bro.

With align and tank, it's a fail against a Catalyst for either a Covetor or a Hulk. There is no defense in .6 or .5. Maybe with a faction fitting.... but the expense is ridiculous.
Here toy go. 92k EHP versus Void. Right ship for the job, and all that. You shouldn't expect survivability from things with a paper tank. This is why we use d-scan set at semi-close range, so that we can see the nasty Catalyst incoming.

No, that's what I was going for. I think Tippia and I would both prefer it if miners got off their asses and hunted people down instead of creating these threads ad nauseum.

Maybe you need some "clarifications" as to how bad of a person you are.
Should we be using faction fit T1 clarifications these days, or T3 clarifications with the Obfuscation Subsystem installed?

Yes. We do think that. Why? Because it's as simple as this: If CCP wanted high-sec ganking gone, it would be gone. Your guns would not cycle on a non-legal target, end of story, stuck in safety forever. But that's not the case. It still exists, and gets nerfed due to continued whining by people who get ganked.

Because we don't whine. We just keep ganking. Over and over and over.

Really? Just like they could NOT remove combat capitals from high sec? Just like they could NOT allow people to continue permatanking CONCORD? Valid gameplay styles that are now forbidden in 'the sandbox.'
You seem to be under the illusion that CCP can't do exactly whatever they want with this game.

They can, because it would be a game design choice?
You seem to be conflicted. Either CCP can decide that something is no longer valid, such as high sec ganking, and they can remove it, or they cannot. Which is it?

Just admit it. Ganking miners is easy, mindless game play. Its barely more involved than mining while working on a spreadsheet.
Of course it's easy, mindless gameplay. It is not, however, completely AFK/tabbed-out 'gameplay' while you do other things.
How does the AFK miner affect my gameplay? He gives me something to shoot at. No more, and no less. The same as the unfitted farmer spinning FW plexes, the Venture that's creeping around lowsec, the Covops that's hacking in my home system, the anti-pirate hero that catches me on a gate somewhere, and the other PvPers I run into when I am out and about. They all offer various levels of challenge, from absolutely none to realizing my mistake in the first five seconds.

Which is it? Mind boggling, isn't it?  The closest I have for an explanation is: CCP doesn't yet know how to "fix" it without breaking other things... that's why real changes take so long.
What's mind boggling is your ability to contradict yourself. Either CCP wants high sec ganking, or they do not. There is no gray area that needs fixing. The safety system is already in place. They could, very literally, turn high sec ganking off tomorrow by engaging all safeties in high sec. Problem solved. There's nothing mechanically that would be broken by it.
Quote:Highsec capitals and CONCORD tanking where undesirables, they where removed... but, in example, jet can mining wasn't removed, it was made obsolete by changing the mining barges.
And yet people still jetcan regularly. I see Retrievers stacking them five and six deep and letting them sit until the absolute last minute to bring in that hauler alt.
You have yet to explain why behaviors cannot be removed 'because of the sandbox,' yet by your own admission CCP has done this in the past, disregarding the 'sandbox' entirely.
