So now people are saying that CCP should buff the hulk because of the Covetor.


Hulk can mine more, tank a lot more, can carry more cargo, has better resists, has more CPU, has a better capacitor.

Erm.. Hulk is a better ship then a Covetor.

Also do not use price as an argument since its the player base, not CCP that dictates the price.

On the left, fully insurable, zero cost disposable ship. Won't even care to tank it, it's free and disposable anyway.

On the right, more training intensive, 10x times more expensive ship, tanked enough to withstand the average ganker. It'll still die, expecially come

insert here any of Hulkageddon, ice interdiction, Bat Country, racketing

for near of the above ship yield.

Anyone see something wrong? No, eh?

Which goes back to the point, why fly the hulk at all? Fly the covetor instead.

A lot of good points here for why the Hulk should get improved. I, too, can fly one but I never bothered with buying just a single one when I can fly a much cheaper Covetor with a tank just as useless, but nearly the same mining yield as a Hulk. Everything about the Hulk speaks against the rule that says only to fly a ship one can afford to lose. These ORE ships were designed without ganking and Hulkageddon in mind. Ganking of Hulks is merely the proof of the imbalance, just like masses of Falcons were proof of it and the masses of Drakes are, too. The Hulk is currently not a ship worth 300m ISKs.

For comparison, a Noctis which is not a warship either and gets to see less pirates than a mining ship and has got a power grid of 250 PG and can fit an LSE next to a 10MN MWD. The Hulk has got 35 PG...

A properly fitted and flown Hulk should be able to survive most, if not all, gank attempts in high-sec.

Sadly, the gankbears are just as protected by Concord as the miners. Here's to high hopes for crimewatch 2.0.
