I herd that if u fit 2x Gisti B-Type Small Booster, it makes you hard to kill.
They cost a bit, but will save you many times over in Exhumer Losses....


Here is a good fit:
Hulkaggeddon Permatank Special

3x T2 Strips

2x Cap Rechargers II
2x Gisti B-Type Small Boosters

2x Cargohold Expander II

Rigs:
2x T2 Cargohold Optimization

Just get a frigging unrigged and 100% insured covetor.

If you fly this ship the way you say you do a few guys in rifters with a buddy in free starter ship can gank you easy at no cost.

Few guys same corp.

One is alt in sad noob ship.

He shoots at you. Your drones attack.

You are now red to his corp.

Rifter opens up on you and concord does nothing about it.

They lost a free ship you lost your hulk.

Point of the story is drones out on aggressive can leave you dead.

Also it's pretty easy to get a high resist buffer fit with around 29k effective health. (( no faction mods ))
Mine in group with lots of logistics.
Stay in highest of secs and watch as guys attack wave after wave without a gank.

Just get a frigging unrigged and 100% insured covetor.

A friend of mine convoed me up and asked what a good way to protect his Hulk during Hulkageddon would be.

My answer (because don't undock is for the weak)

How to beat Hulkageddon:
Monitor local
Watch your d-scanner
Fit as much tank as you possibly can.

Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Damage Control II

Small Shield Extender II

Vespa EC-600 x5 <- always launched, set to aggressive


22k EHP, with 170 DPS tank for about a minute and some change.

Not too shabby, really. I REALLY DOUBT a Thrasher will be able to kill your Hulk. Any Battlecruiser on the other hand, will. It's conceivable that you could give a battlecruiser a hard time, but it's not a guarantee.

It will take at least 4-5 Thrashers is my guess to knock out that Hulk, so yeah.

That is an option, it nearly halfs your yeild, Risk vs. Reward I guess.

Some yield is better than no yield.

1) Scan about (won't take long at all) for a wormhole into a C1/C2 system containing a grav site.
2) Scan all entries and exits and POS, put Covops scouts on them.
3) Bring in Covetors, pillage ABC rocks and leave.

Why use Hulks in highsec, when there's a fortune to be had elsewhere?

Can get a rokh up to 120k EHP and 891 M3 ore a min with a 916m3 cargo. About 60-65% of the yield of the above anti-gank Hulks and far harder to pop, as well as cheaper.

This reminds me of when I was running COSMOS stuff and got a 'Wild' Miner 3-run BPC. Since it really is the best mining laser in-game (same yield, lower cpu reqs), I built one and stuck it up on contract for 1.2bill for a laugh.

Two days later, somebody bought it.

Then he convo'd me and asked for 6 more, and a bulk price.

I said 5bill, he said yes..

I spent two days running about finding poxy sleeper materials and buying another BPC.

When I delivered, he gave me 5.5bill and a Vindi.

I asked him what he was planning to do with such expensive mods.

He'd "worked out" that an NI Geddon could fit 7 of them along with 6 Aoedes and a couple of faction CPU co-pro's. With Harvester drones it would yield about 1500 ore/minute, which was "best in game".

I pointed out that a similar Hulk does 300 more than that with T2 mining crystals, can at least field a small tank, and wouldn't cost him the best part of 10bill to which there was a short silence, after which he asked "Mining crystals?"
