Hulkageddon 4 - In two days!

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Well, I'm sitting at 18700m3 in my Badger 2 and my Bustard will be about 30000m3 or thereabouts. Looking at the forums, they're saying the best alternative is the Mammoth if you don't want to go through training GI5 for the Iteron V. I'll look around some more tonight. My Badger 2 can keep up fairly easily with my 4 retrievers if I'm in the same system and not too far from jump points, and that's with <19km3. The 30km3 in the Bustard should be plenty for what I'm usually going to be doing. I'm not planning to train for hulks anytime soon as I'm working on the skills for L3/L4 missions.

Most of what I'll be doing is high-sec mission-pocket mining, not the usual belt stuff.

My bad, forgot about the tardbus. I'm stuck in my little Amarr world over here. And yes, that will be more than adequate for retrievers.

But you'll definitely want to get Hulks asap, they will speed up the roid eating process quite a bit.

Aren't hulks going for 700million each these days? Maybe I was looking at the wrong data but if 700m is right, that seems like a crazy investment at my current income levels.

Damn, Hulks shouldn't be more than 190-225m last I checked. Give it a few weeks to level out after Hulkageddon. Your probably looking at inflated( ballooned ) prices

My bad. I must have been thinking about some other ship. They're going for 180-190mil in my list here.

I find that a freighter is invaluable to haul a month's worth of minerals from where I mine to a trade hub, otherwise you just end up selling at whatever price you can get rather than optimising.

I didn't realise the Iteron V could manage 50km3 I've mostly used Mammoths (without rigs of course).

Hulks are one of the exceptions to the usual T2 pricing becasue there are a number of Hulk BPOs out there owned by very rich players. One of the reason Hulkageddon is so popular is because some of the big prizes are funded by the Hulk BPO owners looking to make a profit.

I'd think that the market turnover for Hulks is going to be fairly low most of the time as once someone has a Hulk they tend not to lose them (fingers crossed). Thus encouraging a campaign of destroying Hulks would make very good sense.

I checked the prices of Hulks before and after HAG and did not notice a fluctuation. Tritanium has gone up quite a bit though.

Last night I could've sold my Tritanium for 3.20, but it would have required 3 trips of 2 jumps in my Bestower. Not worth the effort, so I just sold it for 2.80. 4mil isk hit, not too bad...but once I get large amounts I believe it will be worth the trip, by then I should have an Orca.

You can get an Iteron V to 50km3 but it'll be paper thin so I wouldn't transport anything valuable in it.
