So I'm an occasional player to eve but I like to flip a few cans. I find a nice hulk to take down in my lil' incursus.
Flip can and wait...nearly 10 mins later and said carebear takes some ore back and I set about the task of killing his ship. The pitiful T1 drones he has soon pop and I get back to work on his ship...
Oh sweet joy I think, my first hulk...think of the possible ransom. 50 mill maybe (don't want to be greedy) So this myrm warps in and targets me... no sweat I think my target is in an NPC corp, he'll get concorded.
Yup, you guessed it. The myrm opens up with his drones and pops me. 15 secs later concord do the biz and the myrm is toast.
What a let down.
So I get the crappy loot and the contents of the flipped can, but seriously... suiciding a myrm to save a hulk?!?
Bright side, I get kill rights on Mr Myrm
One question: if target is flashy red can I shoot his drones when they don't have the flashy red box around them? |

Well, most miners aren't known for their intelligence... In fact with the exception of chribba most miners aren't known at all, but that's not the point :p
Sounds like the myrm made an epic fail. Most importantly, how are you supposed to tell whether this is part of my post or my signature? |

I dont know how the myrm was fitted, but myrm with insurance is less of a loss than a hulk, even with rigs. So he did the smart move.

I thought CONCORD voided the insurance if they kill you.

Nope:) Try 4 destroyers and a hauler and you will find that you can suicide a hulk with 3-4 mil loss Just remember faction ammo, else it wont work with 4.

Having just bought and fitted out my first Hulk about a month ago I'd have to agree. I'd say it would be probably worth twice if not three times as much as the Myrm when the Hulk is decently fitted. Add the fact that insured he'd get back almost full value of the Myrm I'd say it was a very smart move indeed. |

Yeah I would have to chime in and say that failing to see how a cheap fitted and insured Myrm sacrificed to save virtually any T2 ship cruiser size and up, or mining ship is a good move, is enough to mark you in fact as the one who failed.
That is such a simple concept for a good Eve player that your lack of comprehension about it forebodes an inevitable failure on your part to ever succeed in this game in any measurable and substantial way. Although this was already obvious to many of us from the moment I saw a post with the words hulk kill, incursus, and can flip.
Thats the eve equivalent of the broke ghetto kid beating up the drunk homeless people for their 89 cent taco at Taco Bell around 3 AM.
Yeah you may succeed, but all you did was beat on someone marginally more pathetic than you, to stake claim to an achievement only slightly better than being able to chew gum and walk at the same time.
Kudos for being a hair of a percentage point better than a complete ******. Filter your words through a friend next time, and heed well their advice if they tell you to shut up. Chances are you are saying something as egregiously pathetic as this post.

This is a pretty icy burn but I think you need to put on some relaxing music and go take a 30min timeout to pamper yourself with a sponge bath. This is an internet spaceship forum.

I'm wondering who wrote it for him given the obvious lack of attachment to anything that could remotely be perceived as reality...oh wait eve isn't reality.
Taking down a hulk in frigate would have been fairly good, given the miner in question fielded only T1 drones. I'd have been in real troble had he popped out 5 T2 mediums |

Originally by: Delclara Nancekuke What a let down.
Don't give them the satisfaction of such a response. Besides this, posting how disappointed you are, gives us the added bonus of calling you "Nancy" and lapping up your spilled tears.
All part of the game, my friend.

Actually, with the recent changes, medium drones of any ilk are doing rather pathetic damage against frigates. You'd have had an easier time really. (When I'm hunting with my mining barge, I've swapped to 5 light drones and a ogre in the hold instead of mediums for this reason) Haven't had a decent live fire test yet, but if shooting the npc frigates are any indication of how well mediums will work against frigates.... |

The only down side i see to what he did is that he could have done it in a frigate.
"WHAT?" you say?
Hulk aligns to warp, Griffin (caldari ECM frig) comes in wiht T1 racial jammers, jams your frig, hulk insta warp.
