This is easily avoided by being aligned to something at all times, watching incoming ships, scanning, and watching local. Ok, so miners arent careful enough. And gankers are acting like assholes. Game, internet, real life, wherever… your actions define who you are. At which points odds of getting popped rapidly drop to near-zero.
If you look through most of the kills you will find a whoooole lot of empty mid slots. Macro much? For me i just capped my learning group advanced lvl 5 I just got to minning barges and im working on my core skills and drones. But advice to other miners is, alighn to the station ur gona jump to when ur minning, watch for incomming ship types, have ur destinations bookmarked and open to oneclick jump, have ur drones out and watch local chat.
Just one question, you guys normally go after Exhumers as I understand it, but do you ever go after mining cruisers? Just wondering, would be great if someone could answer. While it sucks to lose ships, the fact that I never feel truly safe read: complacent, bored makes me love Eve all the more. Fly unsafe. But you are correct, no guarantees in EVE. But it is sad that something as good as it is can be ruined by a few malcontents with nothing better to do.
I thought things would quiet down one school was back in session. Oh well. What I would rather want to know is whose interest the whole thing serves most? My assumption would be that a few of the organziers will be making massive profits from the resulting price explosions for hulks and maybe raw materials.
So please tell me, whose interest is it to keep the prices up? When the event is over and the drives of our Exhumers can start again… i as one of a few mining-chars in our corp will do regular fleet mining again. Bye… happy hunting for the last hours… please destroy every competition-corp-ships thx! Personally, I have no heartache about people targeting afk miners…IF he afk miners are truly macros.
Many times I have been mining and something comes up where I have to run into the next room to take care of a RL issue. I may be back in 10 seconds or 10 minutes. Since we all agree that Rl does and rightly should take precedence over EVE, perhaps that should be taken into account by those participating.
I believe that paying the fee allows me to play the game — period. I feel that macro-miners take a LOT away from the game and those should be dealt with. If Hulkageddon is a way to do this, then so be it.
I am merely saying that a little understanding is needed. Even though this was a massive pain in the backside, I have to say thanks for Hulkageddon. Instead of my normal pattern of semi afk mining during the day, I decided to do some scanning instead of getting ganked.
In my current home system I found two complexes, one of them gave me several escalations which netted me about mil ISK in faction loot. Highsec ganker with a battleship and smartbombs was blowing up my barge. I lost about 30 million ISK. Im mining now in a Hulk an what I hate meanwhile are Macrominers. Reporting the Macrominers to CCP are useless. They let the Macrominers continue.
Im thinking about to skill a second char to gank the Macrominers. Do you have any tips? This is funny, people are flipping shit! There is also a list of prizes for certain achievements in ganking as well as for sharing hate mail.
Such mail always gets the same response. The event will run from April 29th through to May 29th. So pace yourselves. There is a whole month of ganking to come. We shall see in a month just how much a new Hulk will cost. And that means the destruction of many mining barges. Of course, this time around, for Hulkageddon V, there is a new player.
The Mittani and Helicity together on one stage! Goonswarm is stepping up as a sponsor of the event and is offering a payout of million ISK if you kill 10 Hulk or Mackinaw exhumers. You do not have to be a top performer on the kill board to get a payout.
And, if I heard things right, the reward process will be at least semi-automated. They are what you aspire to fly when you first start off mining in your Bantam or Osprey. They are expensive ships, but they harvest at such a rate that they pay themselves off pretty quickly with regular use.
When you get to the Hulk is when you start getting annoyed by small asteroids. These ships are expensive because they require all sorts of special materials to create, plus the whole cycle of invention to create the blueprint. Like all the Tech II blueprints I have seen, you have to start with a basic tech version of the item. In this case, a Covetor. And then you have to come up with all sorts of exotic materials.
You might have some morphite sitting in your hanger, though if you do it is likely from reprocessing something. And I once got some construction blocks as a drop from a mission. But most of the rest you have to go out and make.
You need 2, of those for the Hulk. You can buy a blueprint for those, but again the bill of materials may look a little foreign. Among the items it needs is Nanotransistors.
Those are created via the Nanotransistor Reaction , which requires, among other things, Platinum Technite. And that requires Technetium. And that is just one of the components. And where does Technetium come from? It comes from tech moons in the north in null sec. And who owns most of those moons now? Goonswarm and its CFC allies. That was one of the main benefits from the war in the north for the CFC, control of most of the tech moons.
Jester wrote of the stuff and its uses. So it is not a huge stretch of imagination or mathematics to wonder if paying out 10 million ISK per Hulk or Mackinaw destroyed payable only when you have killed 10 total might be less of a charitable reward for gankers and more of an incentive program to keep a profitable enterprise going… and going stronger than ever. This whole thing just needs one further twist and then I bet even Gevlon shows a bit of envy.
Yeah, that is starting to get some comments , but I am not sure people have seen the full scope of the cartel yet. During the Venal campaign, Ev0ke approached us about a tech deal; after we had made good on the agreement, NCdot approached us as well. Everyone winning is the goal of OTEC, our new diplomatic initiative. OTEC — the Organization of Technetium Exporting Corporations — is here to regulate galactic technetium supply and ensure stable pricing so everyone in the market can benefit.
I have announced OTEC before it actually exists just to see if I could spook the tech markets by tweeting; I now have almost nerds following me, and fuck it. The order of upcoming cataclysmic player events in EVE Online looks to be coming in the following order:. The crusade by the Deklein Confederation or whatever the right, polite company term is for the Goonswarm and their allies in the Deklein region of space… I know what the real one is appears to be winding down.
This pretty animated. White Noise got squished, with the Deklein Coalition pushing in hard from the west, while White Noise ally Raiden was handed to some systems on the east. And I was able to help in my own small way at the start and the very end. They also serve, who only x-up and wait. Hulkageddon is on for April. From the announcement thread on the EVE forum s:. Created by the artifice of man we transcend the limits of mortality and walk amongst the stars like Gods.
But the bloodline of Gods is tainted by weakness. The generations that have followed us have grown soft and weak. The dilution of our sacred blood must be ended, those who fear conflict will never grow strong, those that cower in slavery to the Empires will never grow strong.
While their pitiful state continues, we are diminished as a whole. So come now, all the outcasts, all the disenfranchised. Come now and arm yourselves and strike down that which weakens us, so we may grow stronger.
The Empires seek to make you weak. And for their hubris, we will burn them to the ground. For we are capsuleers, and our very words and thoughts command the engines of War. We are Capsuleers, and we are Free. The guy in that last thread chose the name Admiral Thrawn and yet fell for that? Clearly a naming violation of some sort there. For those who want a more concise summary of that scan, you can find it here. Despite what I wrote previously , it ended at on February 28th, I read the time frame as through the 28th, not until the 28th.
My mistake, but it is over all the same. Of course, now is the time to take a peek at the killboard for the event. Unless I am reading the kill board incorrectly, that is a serious decline from Hulkageddon III , when the exhumer count was over , along with over mining barges.
And, continuing the trend, the killboard only reports 6 Orcas destroyed, down from 29, though Roquels remained even, with one killed in each event.
This time around industrial ships counted for credit as well. There were basic haulers killed, 30 transport ships, 2 freighters, and a single jump freighter. On the other side of the equation, Griefer-Geddon has their own prize list posted. The Griefer-Geddon kill board does not have a nice summary page like the Hulkageddon board, so I cannot tell exactly how many gankers they thwarted. Nor do I have any way to connect the lower kill count for Hulkageddon to the existence of a counter event.
It is now past UTC on February 19th, , do you know where your exhumer is? Or your hauler , for that matter? Check the official site for updates and links on how to access the kill board.
Fear not, for a new corp has been formed, Hulkageddon Orphanage , to bring together lonely would-be gankers. There is no excuse to sit on the sidelines now… unless you are one of the industrialists targeted by this event. Hulkageddon V — The oft used picture. Inferno — The Escalation Begins. My first mining op in well over a year. Hulkageddon V will be on us! The burnination shall continue. Hulkageddon is coming!
May they fare better than the Starks. Hulk bill of materials.
