Your hulk only has tech I guns on it though. Where as your rapier gets Tech I IGuns, a faction probe, a cyno generator and a cover ops cloak.

I would ignore Tippa, he is one of those people who does not understand that "my opinion" is not the same as "the only opinion" or "the truth" . It is in fact just another random person's opinion.
For more random opinions, see Tippa's rants linked in his/her signature.

She's so incredibly predictable and totally blindfolded in her opinions you can bait her to post whatever and bump threads forever.
And he does not take losing an argument very well, as I can attest

I would imagine that a raw EHP build will surpass any attempt to active tank in a gank situation.

Fish Hunter wrote:A properly tanked hulk can survive most ganks
Problem becomes that in 15min the gankers just increase their force, and win
A corp member of mine had a attempted gank on him one day, he was tanked with approx 22k ehp. The gank failed and he smiled. The next day he moved to a different system, the same guys found him, brought 4 destroyers instead of 2 and blew him up.
Then maybe he should have marked them as red, bookmarked them and payed attention when they entered system. Yea?

So the gankers don't gank your hulk but your Iteron V to lough again as they doestroyed all your work within second? An Iteron V costs like 5mil. 5mil and some ore is a lot better than 500mil and some ore if you were flying a Hulk. I used to mine all the time in an Osprey before I realized mining was a boring **** profession. If I could do it in a cruiser, you can do it in a battleship.
I'll field this one anyway to prevent others from accidentally believing in your stupidity. I once tried to do the same thing in a Ferox (which did better then a retriever in terms of ore) and then a Rohk. For starters, do to how broken mining is all by itself, you might as well get out and try to make isk by using a shovel instead. It is not going to be worth the time. You then add to that hauling the ore and travel time, and so it gets even worse if you're on your own. Which you will be because mining ops want ore ships.
After the fact, people eventually figure out that your "that guy" who always uses jetcans. You will warp away to your Iteron only to find out that, when you get back, the other guy has move all of the ore you just mined into their can (but they named it yours). So you can no longer get to the ore, and so then you need to get back to more mining. End result, it does not work in reality. Reality. That is an important thing for some of you to consider, because things don't always turn out the way your little brains imagine it to.
Reality.

The Actual Problem
...seems to be two fold.
1, miners do not understand the principle of "tank" because mining is a profession that does not connect to PVP skill in any way shape or form. Alternatively, someone should have figured out how to tank the hulks by now, and it should be common knowledge. People figured out optimal incursion fits fast enough now didn't they?
2. mining in general pays at such a **** poor rate, that miners see a fit without mining enhancers in their lows to be a waste of time. Truth is, mining is a waste of time and not maximizing ore yield per hour is an even bigger waste of time. So in order to curb the broken mining mechanic, they end up flying expensive and tankless paper bags.
The Real Solution
Is that a tanked Hulk should be able to make a reasonable profit comparable to other professions in the same sec status of space. But in order to do that, bots would have to be addressed. It is not about Hulks, or gankers... it's actually about the damn bots killing mining and the economy.

They will not buff the hulk, but they are trying to better mining and they are changing the way aggression works everywhere. Who knows how these things combined will effect the game in the long term.

The answer to your question is... drum role... do enough people care enough about it to create a big enough of a stink, to make CCP care about it? If the answer is yes then it becomes a problem. If not, then there is no problem. Reason being? CCP is a reactive real life corporation and does not give a damn about people's arm-chair-forum-warrior game balancing. They care about profits and a happy, sedentary (and let's not forget cowed) player base. That goes for miners, PVP'ers and "spy masters" alike. Anyone willing to happily hand over their credit card information. It does not matter what their personal reasons for doing so are, so long as they do it.
Reality of EVE in a nutshell.
