VanGogh Gaming's TinyMiner EVE Online Mining Bot

What happened?
I got back to my PC to find EvE running at the Login Prompt. On re-entry I found my Hulk adrift in space 0% armor, 25% structure left, but full shields.
(am fitted with sheild tanking assists)
auto warped back to location - combat drones adrift, two pirates there.
Managed to pick up a couple of drones as I was warping back to dock.

Normally even with 4 pirates - I might take 2-5% shield damage before drones destroy pirates ... am in 0.4

If the cargo window is open then make sure it is UNPINNED so that it has an opaque background and the drones window is not overlapping it in any way as shown in the screenshots from the tutorial page.

Any ideas as to why I got so damaged ?

I have lost ships before when it appears to get stuck in the belt when trying to warp out !!

You are aware that in 0.4 players can attack you without problems and Concord will not come to help you, yes?

VG yes - But if it was I find it strange that all my drones, were alive, that he did not finish me of .... a couple of shots would have done it.... or taken the drones which are nice Valkyrie II's.

I'm not suggesting a fault with TM, just would like to avoid doing whatever, again.

I lost a Hulk and 2 Covetors during Hulkageddon! so I'd rather try and avoid loosing another so soon !

I don't know why they didn't finish you off or why they didn't steal your drones. If you have logging enabled in EVE you can browse the log files to see who attacked you. There is no fault to look for. If you mine in low sec you attract pirates, it's as simple as that. You can easily avoid Hulkageddon by changing the system to a more quiet one. Also you can enable the Critical Shield Detection option which will quit EVE when your shields drop below 20% or so. It won't help if you are warp scrambled though...
