The new and improved Catalyst pumps out 800 dps overheated (no, you won't need those guns later). An exhumer, much less barge, won't tank it no matter what you do. Just be like everyone else and run ratting bots deep within the blue ass of a large alliance, where you don't see hostiles for weeks on end. |

Exactly. If it's broken in its intended role, don't fix it, just don't use it in its intended role. Lol@ gallante and hybrids, btw. |

Have the powers that be ever been given grief about how easy it is to kill mining barges? I know that the game is suppose to have a level of risk, yadda, yadda, yadda. But can we not get a buff of the barges so that we can at least fight back a little bit? I lost a covetor to a Thrasher in 10 seconds. I did not even get a chance to launch my drones! So, if it has not already been beaten to death, can we all scream at CCP to buff the barges. Thank you for your support.  Looking at the killmail I can't help but notice you fit for all out mining. Which is fine. You can fit however you like. But this means that if someone attacks you with a thrasher, you will pop almost instantly. A barge is a very specialized ship, and surviving combat isn't what its designed for. But this is EVE, and you always have options. You could mine in a higher sec system so Concord gets to you sooner. You could fit for EHP and carry combat/ECM drones and hope for the best. You could mine in a BS; The Rokh is a great mining ship. Or you can continue doing what your doing now, and just accept that you may have to cover an occasional lost ship.

Fittings won't help, even against a dessie. Barge is going the way of the Gallante. |

I wasn't aware OP's barge comes with more than 1 mid? Oh you meant 200 mil hulks? I'm sure the ganker can invest in a nice Thorax or Brutix for that... |

Oh noez, you tanked it. Now it will take 2 Catalysts instead of 1 to gank a 200 mil hulk.
You losers should listen to yourselves. You're arguing that barges can already put up a tank worth a joke. Repeat: "Barge + tank." You're embarrassing yourself.
"I don't want barges to have a viable tank, because I want to gank those when hulkagaddon rolls by in half a month." See? Doesn't telling the truth make you feel better? |
