Not the fastest way of doing it, but certainly more profitable than mining.

Mining takes longer to train for, is riskier, pretty much <i>requires</i> two accounts, and it results in much less isk than L4 mission running. The only reason it seems to still be a popular profession is that it is so obvious even to the newest players. Plus, the skills for mining aren't useful for anything else, but mission running skills help for pvp, and increased standings help for all sorts of aspects of the game.<br /><br />I agree that there should be a method of defending industrial ships in high sec if people are together in a group, but I don't think that the answer is a ship that can survive on its own. Defending industrials in high sec should require other players, but you are right in saying that requires a greater profit. Maybe hulks don't really belong in high-sec space, or maybe we just need the orca to be able to deploy a small pos-like shield for a short time... long enough for combat pilots to do something about the gankers, but not long enough to be able to save the miners without the need for defence.enlightened0nehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987907270213165434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-50300867160196277892010-01-25T15:01:12.390-08:002010-01-25T15:01:12.390-08:0020k EHP on a Hulk just means the gankers bring mor...20k EHP on a Hulk just means the gankers bring more c<br />destroyers. It might make you less attractive than the next guy in the belt, but if you're using expensive modules you're making yourself much more attractive.<br /><br />If you boost the EHP of industrials the gankers will just bring more ships.<br /><br />They're after the tears, with profit as a secondary motive. Easy fight + tears is a griefer's wet dream. Be careful where you mine - my favourite places to mine are in multiple-room mission deadspaces where gankers can be seen coming.<br /><br />An easier way to boost mining safety is to move all belts to exploration sites, with at least one gate between warp-in and the juicy belt.<br /><br />Or just mine in mission spaces in highly populated systems.Mara Rinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01237946299576915938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-20020138805155983822010-01-25T14:27:08.398-08:002010-01-25T14:27:08.398-08:00What a lot of people have trouble understanding in...What a lot of people have trouble understanding in EVE is this:<br /><br />No matter if you're in Hi-sec, Low-sec or Null-sec, space is a dangerous place.Benoit CozmikR5 Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344632862155047695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-35006038428067569482010-01-25T13:29:53.572-08:002010-01-25T13:29:53.572-08:00Again, if you're someplace alone and need defe...Again, if you're someplace alone and need defensibility, fly a combat shit with mining lasers on it.<br /><br />Also, because I honestly don't know, is the 20,000 EHP tank I normally use on a Hulk not enough to keep away a high sec gank squad?<br /><br />(I will leave alone the issue of whether high sec ganking should be so easy/accessible to pilots)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116383671551612410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-50573893248735337252010-01-25T12:29:47.105-08:002010-01-25T12:29:47.105-08:00Agreed 110% with everything you said abought highs...Agreed 110% with everything you said abought highsec, i think a new type of miner needs to be created, with a really big tank, im talking able to take a big licking and still keep ticking, for this tank however, it would drop to 2 mining lasers instead of the hulks 3, and would be much more costly than a hulk say an easy 75%-100% increase for it....<br /><br />Basically it would be a Retriever, with the tank and possibly warp strength bonus of a transport ship (not the blockade runner the other one), that way its got a big tank, ability to escape suiciders, and still can mine during things like hulkageddon etc...<br /><br />But thats just my stupid idea.<br /><br />One thing i'd love to see is the ability to designate shareing of the can, to prevent can flipprs, so u can hire a group of pvp pilots to "share the can with" and if the can gets flipped, they get red'd to the flipper as well not just the corp of the original pilot...
