mining barges are cheap hunks of scrap metal supporting a ore processing machine, how much tank do you think they should have? if you want to mine in high sec in safety use a battleship, or go mine in low or null where you at least have to pay attention and can realistically deal with hostile (anyone in system).
People that expect to mine in safety in empire in exhumers are greedy and out of touch with the modern game. Adapt or die is never a more appropriate mantra than in this instance.

It's a mining barge not a combat vessel. If you insist on flying it while knowing what's inevitably going to happen you are simply an idiot.
If I took to autopiloting freighters through gatecamps I wouldn't come whine for a buff after the obvious lossmail.

No dummy. Adapting means not using a hulk in high sec where it is easily killed no matter how you fit it.

It's designed to tank 0.0 rats, not for high sec scrubs.

To say a ship is ment for high sec or low sec or null sec is an assumption on your part.. Not a fact.. Actually, it is a fact. CCP designed the T1 mining barges to be used in high sec, and Hulks to be used in low and null sec. If you don't believe it, then feel free to ask the CCP devs at FanFest. Gank-proof ships, however, are not part of the design of any ship in the game.
Exactly right. Hulks tank null rats just fine and have the best mining yield. 2.great advantages. To expect them to have a massive buffer as well is just unrealistic.
Read the description of the hulk. It states it was designed with 'deep space' in mind which in CCP speak means null sec.

Also: if you feel the best solution to people's Hulks getting ganked is simply to publicize the existing MAPC-based buffer Hulk fittings, GO AHEAD! (I just think that most of the hisec population would turn their nose up at putting a MAPC on a ship that size.)
People unwilling to buffer fit their ships while whining about ganks might be mildly amusing but no buffer is going to save them anyway. People will just use more ships and gank anyway.
My suggestion to surviving as a miner in high sec has always been simple, use a battleship.
