Can someone confirm the below calculation is correct? I am thinking of going with a hulk instead of mackinaw, as I only have 1 account and hulk has 2000m more cargo space.
HULK: 8000m 3x Ice harvester 2: 500 sec 2x Ice harvester upgrade 2: -9% each = 500 * 0.82 = 410 sec for 3 ice = 137 sec per ice
Mackinaw: 6000m 2x Ice harvester 2: 500*1.25(penalty) = 625 sec. 2x Ice harvester upgrade 2: -9% each = 625 * 0.82 = 512 sec for 4 ice = 128 sec per ice
So hulk looks to be about 10% less efficient, but it has 2000m more cargo space. Also if i decide to use expanded cargo hold and rigging to afk mining, hulk is even better.
Is this about right?

I'm not going to bother checking your calculations because my glass of whiskey is telling me not to...
but did you account for the fact that a Mack gets a bonus of 2x yield for ice mining?

If you're planning on ice mining half-afk, then you're going to have to account for practical factors like having the correct multiples of cargo space for the ice :
* Maxing the Mackinaw will give ~12K m3 (3 full cycles = 12 ice blocks) * The Hulk is selectively maxed to ~13K m3 (4 full cycles = 12 ice blocks), but it fits 1 Ice Harvester Upgrade instead of an EC II.
Simple to see the Mackinaw still wins by a significant margin - as long as it makes it back to the ice field before the Hulk finishes its last cycle.

It depends if you are mining solo or in a gang. A Mack has 2 ice harvesters and a x2 bonus. A Hulk has 3 ice harvesters, a cycle time bonus, FAR bigger cargo and better tank. If working in a gang (sitting stationary in the belt for hours on end) then Mack will produce more over time. If working solo and making station runs to offload ice, then Hulk wins out due to not having to dock anywhere near as often as a Mack will.

Assuming you're mining in hi-sec and could be targeted by gankers...also assuming you won't be using stupid expensive modules that would only attract a large number of gank attempts.
A mack with 2 upgrades cannot be tanked. A hulk with 2 upgrades can. A mack with no upgrades mines 1 block more ice per hour than a hulk with 2 upgrades. So it comes down to tank or no tank? If you don't need one use a mack. If you do then a hulk. HI! |

A hulk with t2 cargo rigs and cargo expanders holds 18km3 cargo if afk ice mining without a fleet booster runing links is about 37 mins or so so afk hulk better if paying attention mack better at exhumers 4/5 not sure about lvl 3
