Actually with my new 3 retriever set up i'm pulling in 3 times the ISK I was with hulks.
The hulks bonus is yield 25% more at max level.
But if you look at the other barges they all get a bonus to mining laser yield to make it near equive to the hulk.
So I went and traded in that pathetic 8k ore bay for a 25,700 m3 ore bay and disposable retrievers. No worry about gankers in the cheap flying jetcans and I only lost very tiny bit of yield since I don't need to worry about tanking my 10 mill isk ships throw 3 MLU II's and the hulk no longer has a profitable bonus. |

It does have a worthwhile bonus IF you use it in it's intended role. In a fleet op with hauler support, it's still king of yield.
It is IF it can be decently defended, so it can fit 2 MLU II's if not it has to be tanked or you risk losing a 200 million ISK ship. But with the hassle of getting a fleet op together when I can take my three accounts load up three retrievers with 3 MLU II"s and only lose 2% yield compared to the tanked hulk, which is the easier, simpler and faster option?

So the hulk need to be tanked but not the retriever? Why?
Because the hulk is still 200 mill in Jita. The retriever is 19 mill. THAT is why the hulk still needs to be tanked and the retriever doesn't. Lose a hulk it's a hefty whack top the wallet, lose a retriever "Hey I just made enough for 3 retrievers in the last hour. |
