The questions a bit vague but I'll give it a roll.
Solo mining in a hulk is not practical anymore, get a mack if your solo, if you have a dedicated hauler alt then cool, and yes absolutely fit 3 strip miners on that $ucker.
Mission mining is great for a hulk because if you use it in a belt...well you know. |

Perfect! Thanks for intuiting my question and giving a spot on answer. Yeah, I've got a dedicated hauler on account 2. I'm not up on the fancy exploration stuff. Considering I'm in 0.7 should I be outfit in case I'm located (I assume that is possible)? Prolly a silly question.

Ya, they changed scanning. If you mine Ore Sites, you WILL be found as Ore Sites are now Cosmic Anoms.
Macks have shot up in value since the changes in December. Last I checked, they are similarly priced. |

Are you talking about lvl4 security missions and then mining in those pockets or lvl4 mining missions, Illia Pol? If security, then go with Q 5's advice. If you're not concerned about the ore hold size due to a dedicated hauler, then go for the Hulk.
But you might want to think about changing to two Retrievers/Mackinaws. Do a rough calculation in your head ... should be faster than a Hulk / Hauler combination.
As to the security missions themselves. You might want to consider moving to a lower system security status as this will boost your LP and money gain from those missions. Also, don't just focus on lvl4. Talk to all the sec. agents in station/system. The best mining in a sec. mission is IIRC in a lvl1 mission.

The second and third mission in the mission chain have very nice belts. And I think that one of them is even "farmable". I.e. the belt will respawn each downtime if you haven't flagged the mission complete so far. So you have a nice privat belt for a complete week.
On the fit front ... you don't really have to be overly concerned about tanking. People will have to put some effort into locationg you by using combat probes. Happens rather seldom in high-sec (apart from ninja-looter infested systems like Osmon & co. ... i.e the BIG lvl4 mission hubs). You're a lot safer in your mission pocket than you're in a normal belt. So you can make concessions when it comes to fiting a tank. |

Money has nothing to do with it. A Hulk has a severly gimped ore hold for only marginally more ore/min than a mack, so you effectively mine less solo because half of your playtime is station runs. |

Flying a mining vessel without a proper tank is generally not a good idea wherever you are mining. Admittedly mining in mission deadspaces will be somewhat safer but there will still be some risk. Better to be safe than sorry. |
