I know it sounds weird but I always have other things going on in the background that keep me busy in RL. I have run two account now for the better part of 6 years. One Orca pilot one Hulk pilot I have survived more gank attempts than I can remember, Now I am faced with the fact that CCP has nerfed the hulk and mining as a whole once again.
How did they nerf it? Well lets see they took one high slot away from the hulk which dropped its mining speed by about 30% even with t2 drones out. That is with full boosts and max skills.
Second Nerf: boost themselves they now cost between 4k to 8k each. And the best part is it cycles twice per one cycle of the strip miners.
So I am losing more money now in a field that does not make near as much as pretty much any other type of play. And before you say that it is "safe' play. Look at the kill broads. Mining ships make most of all the kills in the Eve universe.
Cya laters everyone it has been nice flying with you.
Virtually 100% of this is erroneous in some way or another. You should probably stop crying and actually do the math.
PS: Those boost charges cost something like a few hundred isk each to make. They're expensive because they're brand new and impatient idiots will cheerfully pay 1000% markups.

Pssst. They made the cycle time shorter, so maybe you should stop measuring things in utterly meaningless units such as "cycles" and try using an actual fixed frame of reference instead?

Yeah, I'm sure that smattering of low-skill ventures is really going to make a profound difference.
