In real life, I can blow up a semi trailer, or even an armored car worth about $2,000,000 with about $5,000 worth of fertilizer.
In real life, I can make napalm by mixing gasoline and packing peanuts (no ****, Styrofoam and gas makes napalm).
In real life, criminals don't have a 100% chance of being caught.
But most importantly, in real life I am not functionally a god.
So please, tell me some more about how using something cost effective to defeat a larger ship isn't realistic, in a game where we can reincarnate after being incinerated in a fiery death millions of kilometers away.
In real life the Titanic was sunk for free. RIP Scamming; CCP has finally acknowledged that the average gamer is too stupid to avoid being scammed & has decided to protect them from themselves with TOS changes that effectively ban the practice. |

A properly tanked Hulk will not be taken out by a 2M catalyst. Sure, if you slap on a DCII, and reinforced bulkheads, crippling your yield below that of cheaper ships, you will be killed by 2 of them.
And what exactly is wrong with this? If the Hulk pilot pays attention they won't get blown up in the first place.

If the Hulk pilot pays attention they won't get blown up in the first place. the fact that he's full of ****, is what's wrong with this. the only thing that outmines a 0 mlu hulk is a 3 mlu mackinaw. 1339m3/min - 3mlu mack 1302m3/min - 0mlu hulk 1275m3/min - 3mlu retriever 1228m3/min - 2mlu skiff numbers from eft. tank your hulk, or quit bitching about it. the yield is already the second highest possible yield BEFORE you put mlus on it. edit: totally forgot the covetor that gets 1m3/min more than the hulk if you put 2 mlus on it. 1m3, hilarious. due to truncation the likelihood of this 1m3 ever making a difference is basically nil. so they are in essence, the same yield.
The real crime here is that SMA have not kicked this guy out yet. RIP Scamming; CCP has finally acknowledged that the average gamer is too stupid to avoid being scammed & has decided to protect them from themselves with TOS changes that effectively ban the practice. |

Seriously guys: Evil miner carebears ruining my game boo hu? Doesn't that get old at some point? No wonder nothing ever changes in this game...
18 nerfs to suicide ganking & the barge buff prove you wrong. RIP Scamming; CCP has finally acknowledged that the average gamer is too stupid to avoid being scammed & has decided to protect them from themselves with TOS changes that effectively ban the practice. |

The Git wrote:I wish those that enjoy and defend ganking miners would just man up and admit they do it because it's an easy game play style. No mysteries, very little tactics or strategy, and the end result is at least half known.
And find a different argument than the "they aren't playing the game!!!11", "they're afk and making money.....". Big effing deal. What possible effect does that have on your game play. Here's a clue, none.
Alliances that rent space are making money without being in the game. Moon production makes money without being in the game....blah, blah, blah...it is so tiresome.
Just admit it. Ganking miners is easy, mindless game play. Its barely more involved than mining while working on a spreadsheet.
As someone who leads ganking fleets accross highsec, I can assure you that it is not mindless & a lot of work goes in to chaining successful ganks. The only thing miners see is the end result.

baltec1 wrote:CCP thought that hulks were being ganked because the hull was profitable which has never been true.
In the vast majority of cases, it actually was. I spent a lot of time ganking Hulks & profiting solely from the T2 salvage. Only very occasionally did I get garbage salvage.

I'm sure they do aswell, since reasonable argument backed up by facts can potentially stop them from making pants-on-head changes such as how they buffed barges.

One could also argue that mining in highsec is out of control & we are doing our part to maintain balance.
