Why Do Players Still Do This?

Check the clocks, calendars or whatever you use to tell time. Either way it's 2015.

It's 2015 and people are still pulling shit like this in EVE, even if it WAS in hi-sec.

What the fuck.

Yes that's right. That's a T2 exhumer fitted with a CIVILIAN shield booster. TWO OF THEM. God dammit. Let's a take a look at just how effective these boosters would be at saving this poor Mackinaw.

How terrible.

7 HP per cycle. Each cycle is 3s. That's 2.3 HP per second, not taking into account of any skills or implants. But even with ideal conditions it's still going to fucking suck.

Now lets take a look at the next logical increment, the Small Shield Booster I.

26 HP every TWO seconds. That's 13/sec without skills. That's a massive increase from the 2.3 we saw earlier.

Considering the Mackinaw is going for ~193M right now, why don't people like this person see fit to use something better then a pair of Civillian Shield Boosters to protect their investment?

Maybe they just don't know, doubt it considering the training time for a Mackinaw.

Maybe they just don't care. Likely.
