sorry but I find all this (these) thread(s) a bit useless. Imho there are only 3 simple things to think about when fitting a Hulk:
1- you want more yeld
2- you want to max out your yeld
3- you can squeeze a lil bit more your yeld numbers
+ the golden rule which is called GET AN HAULER.
Now: do you want to spend more in fitting than in hull? Do you want to AFK mine? Do you want to live an easy life and don't care about being ganked? Do you want to solo mine and spend your time going up&down from belt to station?
Great, you made your choice: it's called Covetor! |

Quote:You lose only 9% by not having the MLU
1 Hulk - 1 MLU = Covetor!
so if you bought an Hulk you want that "only 9%" |

Quote:Covetor has always been a priority hisec target because it can be expected to drop strips like a hulk and is always easier to kill, and because the fit is relatively expensive compared to the hull, its not that well covered by insurance anyway.
sure, but 1 hulk costs like 9-10 covetor so you won't shed too many tears if you're so easy to get ganked. Also, if you are not _that_ serious about mining to have an Hulk fitted for max yeld, then you don't need that 10-20% extra yeld that an Hulk can give you more than a Covetor. I mean: if you don't use survey scanner, if you solo mine, if you afk mine, if you get no boost, then you definitely don't need an Hulk at all.
That's my way at least, then.... each to his own ;) |

I mine with an hulk, a covetor and an hauler, so let me post again.
Now, of course the difference between an hulk and a covetor is not only that 9% but I was answering to someone saying: "fit a DCU instead of a MLU, you'll loose only 9% so it's cool" which imho is..... stupid? yup, bullshit really.
The rest of the discussion _for me_ is only to be reduced into this: you don't keep your eyes on your ships while mining? Then you are a noob and it's better if you don't fly a 200M worth ship, most of all it's not worth to put on that ship another 50-100-100000000000 M worth fitting. Live your noob life in peace and fly a covetor.
Shell I draw a picture or is it clear enough?
Last but not least: I know there are different kind of gankers, and the serious ones will kill you sooner or later, but again: flying an hulk means knowing that and using the proper countermeasures. If you have no clue about how to prevent being ganked by _serious gankers_ do you know which ship I'm suggesting you to use instead of the hulk? Yeah I guess you know. |
