Last night my ceo and where in a 0.4 system looking for people to ransom when we came upon a Hulk mining by itself.
The character using the miner is roughly 6 months old and left his old corp, which has over 500 players, several days ago.
In short we warped in and warp scrambled him hit him with 4 heavy nos. My ceo private chatted him and demanded 20mil ransom, which we feel is ok,since a Hulk is worth roughly 500mil.
The player told him that we needed more help to destroy him, we were in a Raven and Scorpion. The loner proceeded to launch 5 med drones, I have no idea why he did this. So, we let loose and proceeded to destroy him in less than a minute.
Minutes later he eve mailed us and told us to pay 1 billion isk within 24hrs or our corp would be destroyed.
YARRRRRRR told him to get a life.

The only reason I put it in forum is to show how idiotic some people can be. Why lose a 500mil ship? Pay the ransom.
And I guess the Hulk pilot felt that because he was so big that noone would attack him:)

I would have hit him for 350mil 
Maybe negotiated down a bit.
He's an idiot if he thinks he could tank you. You shoulda shot him down to hull before asking for money

The reason nobody pays ransoms is because some pirates just blow you up anyway.
Also, some people would rather die than give money to a pirate. It's pride.

tbh, its all down to how you aproach the victim, I can get a ransom out of most people.

You asked for a 20mil ransom for a 500mil ship...
This is a joke right?

Erm...
I would have made the same decision had I been a solo player, as I'd rather lose my ship rather than x amount of money AND my ship...
Plus, my corp reimburses you if you lose your ship to pirates, it's just an ethics thing about the ransoms.

If you are being ransomed, that usually means you already lost! You are being given a chance to save your ship! It is a privilege. This whole pride idea is a big misconception and it needs to STOP!

Breaking the hulks tank and then re-commencing the ransoming process seemed to me like the smartest possible course of action.
Silly fella probably thought that because he can tank a bs or 2 in 0.0 that players had the same damage output

As I have said before....more people would pay ransoms,in general,if more reasonable amounts were asked...
In this case it seems 20 million was too much...but I would have thought 40-80 million would be quite reasonable for a 400 million isk ship like a hulk.
Other ships though....seen some people saying they charge 15 mill for a BC...realistically a charge of 20-25% would probably get more responses...much more and people will think that they may as well collect insurance.

You think thats bad? We killed a pith/dread booster/amp raven (Thanks for the 350 mil btw) in a ice belt, then the mackinaw told us to f*ck off after asking 100 mil, dropped over 150mil in ice miner IIs and other goodies when we nuked him. Apparently money was of no consequence for him.

You probably wouldnt lose your ship too....any pirate who dishonors a ransom problably never gets one ever again.

Can't post the link to the killmail, but a corpmate killed a Hulk in his Rifter last night. I guess flying one of those ships leads to a sense of overconfidence.

a hulk setup correctly can tank a raven using jav torps if the jav torps are the dmg that he is tanked against and the raven has no painters. but 2 bs a hulk has no chance heck against 1 bs a hulk has no chance

How the hell is it going to tank, it has 500 base cap, as soon as it gets nos'd it will die, you can't exactly mount a cruiser sized tank with 35 PG and still fit your mining lasers, and hope to survive more than 10 seconds.
