i dont understand how you guys can ever mine safely in a hulk, can't a cheap ass huricane kill you in 1 or 2 round or artillery for a suicide gank of massive isk spent/destroyed ratio? it happened to my friend but for all i know he doesnt fit his hulk right or turn on modules.
A gank fit battlecruiser can kill a hulk fairly easily but in hisec their ship will get concorded and depending on fits they may or may not succeed. When mining you have to keep an eye out for potential gankers. Operating in a quiet system helps a lot and there's plenty of those around.
Overall mining is a pretty poor activity to spend any time at in EVE, it's only worth doing if you can do it semi AFK or very intensely by multiboxing a fleet and stripping a belt as fast as possible.
I quite enjoy mining, but I do it with 6 hulks+Orca+Hauler so it keeps me occupied, even more so if I fire up my 3 Macks+Orca in hisec too. Don't no if it's any good for making isk yet because all the minerals went into building our Orca. Now that's done I have to decide wether I'm going to build a Rorqual or start selling the minerals :)
Might come back, donno. Was fun to playing the 4 pilots and not too hectic.
Getting too old i think, or maybe its that all the games im cycling around in are super old. Wish something kick ass would come out.
Rift had potential.
Star Wars: The Old Republic next methinks.
Just got a free 45 days pass to Star Wars: Galaxies, so indulging in a bit of nostalgia :)
I'm back to boxing four toons:
1. CNR/Golem/Rattlesnake pilot
2. Domi pilot
3. Domi pilot
4. Orca/Noctis pilot and trader
I'm down to my last two hanger spinners until their subs expire. Still no idea whats going to be happening the rest of this year.
Im back to playing my 8 toons, started back up last night, after buring out on rift.
Im training. Real life stuff. Trying to get innernet to work.
