Hulkageddon......3!!

Ok so here is the low down this is a player driven event. In lineage I have never seen anything like this. Basically all ships related to ore extraction, are being targeted and being blown away. Hulks, Mackinaws, Retrievers, and Covetors for exhumer / mining barge class ships, all haulers seem to be targets as well. Big industrials like Orcas, or maybe even the Rorqual.

Basically Exhumers are tier 2 mining barges. Their extraction yields are quite high, I can pull about 1 million work of highsec ore with a 17k cargo hold. If I use jet can mining I can earn about 10-12mill and hour.....no that is with Yogita, solo it is about half that.

Now Eve wide mining related vessels are being blown away. Even in high security space, so that means the aggressor will get his ship blown up he will do it in the name of this event. Basically miners who do not want to risk losing a 140mill ship (pre-hulkageddon), then end having to a: wait a while for the prices to drop, or b: shell out about 200mill for a new hulk.

I know some people have people protecting them but really, all they get are pirate kill mails, the people they are trying to protect.....will if they are targeted, get blown away.

So Yogita and I we have 2 covetors, 2 hulks, and 1 mack....total value 330 mill. We can cover those loses but really we are not lush with isk. So we have mothballed our mining ships, and our POS has enough fuel to sit out this event with out ice mining.

On a side note I am excited that we might end up in null sec, joining an alliance out there.

Of course the location, and exact details; if we are allowed to join will not be posted here. I will have to be vague at best. Eve is surprisingly hush hush. If I find a nice system with something valuable, it is best to keep it to yourself for as long as possible.

Ok well...signing off.
