Not only it's the easiest activity for bots just after moon goo but has it stand it's completely worthless. The single stuff that can make you win some isk a while ago was pyroxeres and ice has long has you had at least lvl4 processing skills, even then missioning gives you a lot more.
So either make this stupid activity something worthwhile for those actually playing the game, and so even more for bot users, or take it out of the game. The one pretending he's making isk while being ganked because he's a good boy and wants gankers to kill bots is just another pawn talking to himself. (yeah saw a post a week ago couldn't imagine there are so many disturbed people)
FW improvements should make this become interesting and even make me go test, just do it CCP?
Ho and the Hybrids (?) rebalance supposed to be delivered with the expansion? 
Get rid of alloys in drone regions and replace those for something making those players not loose all will of playing this game?
Change mining mechanics and make this activity interesting? -faster cycles, bigger cargo, align gtfo improved to extreme If mining becomes something more dynamic then for sure bots will be a lot more easily spoted and ganked by miners them selves.
Before they get to mining there's so many stuff waiting now for years to be changed. They did a lot of stuff lately, 4 weeks and did more than in over 3 years witch is the proof they can do serious business if they want. |

30k EHP of buffer is not too much for something that basically IS cruiser-sized. Most T2 cruisers have no trouble reaching the 30k mark even without a resist bonus as extreme as the Hulk's 7.5%/level, and those that do get a resist bonus (Sacrilege, I'm looking at you :-) come close to that mark "out-of-the-box".
TL;DR: Just give the Hulk about 15MW extra output from its reactor, so that buffer tanked Hulks would go from "theorycrafting curiosity" to "something people actually might use". You do know you can already reach 30k ehp on a Hulk? Right? Even with all the 'fitting' issues. Yes, but you need a MAPC to do so, which is quite smelly on a cruiser-sized ship IMO, and puts the fit into "theorycrafting curiosity" land for the vast majority of the population. Which is exactly why I suggested the PG buff, so that the MSE+resistmods fit would become something practical! |

Thats there own fault then they didn't accommodate for any risks and therefore they are a lot easier to gank. Its the same story for the people that don't tank their haulers then whine when they get popped whilst carrying 100s million of items.

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? |

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.

Hulk tanks are pretty week. They should be worth the 100's of mil they cost.. If not reduce the price and people would complain less.
It takes about 20 hours of mining to recoup the cost of a lost hulk in hi esc. So yeild vs survivability is not really an issue when the yeild isnt worth 2 ***** in high sec
It should take an = amount of isk invested in the pew pew ship to kill a hulk as quickly as they currently pop. IE you would need 200mil to instapop 200mil.. Not 5mil vs 200+mil.
Its a heard mentality.. You have a heard of 100 hulks and 5 go down to a ganker so only the 5% are pissed. On the whole its balanced but in reality hulks are too vulnerable for being a top teir mining ship. They should at least be able to with stand the insta ganks.. A sustanined attack is a whole differnt game which the hulk should always lose. Not being able to react is pretty ******. |

Personally, I just don't get it.
And, do they actually pay a sub fee to do this mindnumbing activity? I'd much rather pay to watch paint dry (or at least sniff it). |

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. (a¦á_a¦â) ~ http://getoutnastyface.blogspot.com/ ~ (a¦á_a¦â) GÖÑ Inactive 21/12 unltil the new year, seasons greetings GÖÑ |

I personally would be OK with the Hulk being able to be fit with EITHER a strong buffer OR a nullsec-belt-rat-worthy active tank. (Which is about where we are at now, if not for nobody ever using the buffer fits, it seems.)
P.S. even a well-tanked Hulk is still not Sleeper-proof (you might be able to deal with the Sleeper frigs in C2 Perimeter grav sites, but C3 and up are probably. off limits due to neuting, and Hulks can't fit into C1s due to the anomalously high mass of mining barges and exhumers).
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.) |

HAHAHA. While you're at it, be sure to give industrials the ability to fit medium shield extenders with a 10mn mwd, because "they are medium hulls" too.
Seriously though. Vexors and arbitrators are supposed to take fire. Mining barges are not. You may as well be complaining that battleships need a mining buff because barges can pull in ore much faster.
Go mine in a quieter system, mine in mission deadspace, or mine in a gravimentric belt. Better yet, go mine in nullsec. Lots of nullsec alliances need miners. You get to mine in complete safety with max gang bonuses and in an upgraded system that constantly spawns full gravimetric belts. What could be better than that? |

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. (a¦á_a¦â) ~ http://getoutnastyface.blogspot.com/ ~ (a¦á_a¦â) GÖÑ Inactive 21/12 unltil the new year, seasons greetings GÖÑ |

This thread is still going but there is little depth to the conversation. Hulks need buffing! Hulks can be tanked! No they can't! Hulks aren't for high-sec! Shut up noob!
These are all just symptoms. The real issue is the nature of High-Sec. War decs can be exploited out of. Fix it so they can't. If they want out of the war they should have to pay to get out. Thems da rules. High Sec combat should be all about following the rules. Once you fix that you can revisit ganking. When you think about it it 'real life' would follow below:
Conversation between Miner and Insurance Agent. Miner: "My ship got destroyerd." Insurance Agent: "Again?!? Were you in high sec?" Miner: "Yes." IA: "Did those that blow you up have an active war dec?" Miner: "No." IA: "What was the value of your ship? Miner: "200 million." IA: "Per your contract I am paying you 75% of your ship and cargo."
Conversation between Miner's Insurance Agent and Pirate's Insurance Agent MIA: "Your boys did again." PIA: "Uhm... Prove it." MIA: "You know that I can. We can do this the easy way or take it to court. You owe me 150 million isk." PIA: "......."
Conversation between Pirate's Insurance Agent and Pirate PIA: "I am debiting your account with me for......"
Now that **** would be funny.  |

NEWS FLASH!!! Orcas and freighters get popped in highsec..
Stuff as much tank on a hulk as you want, won't make a damn difference. It is really easy to make a hulk gank proof against a lone ganker.. tsk tsk on anyone for not doing so. Blame yourselves before the game.
Using one in low/null/wh.. you should have combat support, and probably even a rorq support too. Doing this on your own.. oh well.. welcome to an MMO were not much should be solo'd with immunity to consequences.
A person bitching for perfection to cover their own faults.. makes them a *****. Quit being a *****.
Here's the lesson of the day hidden in the first statement at the top..
If someone wants to pop, and they have the resources to do so, they are going to pop you.. no matter what your tank is. The End. |
