And so the Hulkageddon is upon us yet again. It's been some time now since I've actually worried about the Hulkageddon, I don't mine that much anymore, it mostly comes through the market for me these days. I do try to avoid flying freighters/Orcas or other "easy to hit" industrial during this time though, rather opting for my blockade runner to move stuff if need be. Hulkageddon is really not that much of a problem if you take some precautions and use your head, should you get your Hulk/other highly expensive industrial ship ganked during this time, it's pretty much your own fault. Saying that, I'll probably loose something shiny myself this time around, should that happen I swear not to whine about it.
I know several "carebears" and industrialists whinge and complain about Hulkageddon and I don't really understand this, as I stated above, staying safe isn't really all to hard if you stay smart. I understand that you have to switch the "autopilot" mentality off, but in my opinion we're playing a multi player game, Playing being the operative word here. If your need to play AFK is that high and you find yourself auto piloting a wreck when you return to the keyboard, tough.
Hulkageddon also presents a great way of making lots of money. There are several new market opportunities during Hulkageddon, and they're also rather obvious if you know where to look.
In other news, EON has released the new ISK 3.0 guide, it's a 80 mb PDF download and it's worth every bit. It's also FREE and although aimed at the newer player everyone can probably learn something from it, it nothing else it's a great little reference manual. According to several other blogs around, it's the manual that CCP should have written to accompany EVE and I can agree with that.
