So, there has been a debate amongst my corp. on what the most efficient setup is when you have both a mining main character and alt. Now it has already been established that using an Orca for hauling isn't really viable unless you have 4 or more miners in the fleet getting boosts.
This leaves using two miners and benefiting from the basic fleet bonuses. Now the question is, which exhumer setup is more efficient? A mackinaw with a hulk or a mackinaw with a mackinaw. When using the mackinaw with hulk combination, it forces you to make more trips to the station per time spent but you gain an additional laser.
Whereas, with a mackinaw and mackinaw combination, you make less trips to the station per time spent but you lose 1 laser. Has anyone played around with this at all and if so, which did they find more efficient per the time spent? Which combination brought in more ore? |

2 Hulks and an Orca Boosting is a common and extremely profitable and efficient setup, just so ya know.
That HAS been established. |

WHO is providing that bonus ??? Why not a hauler or an Orca ?
Back and forth to station is the biggest ISK/hour killer in mining, period.

Obviously our resources are different. Please refer to the following forum posting for clarity. Is it worth it using an orca

When using just two accounts, since the update with the exhumer cargoholds being increased, the viability of using an orca and an exhumer while dual boxing is no longer as productive as using two exhumers,
Again, please refer to the following: is it worth it using an orca |

If I had to warp to station every time my cargo filled I wouldn't mine. In that scenario I would say jet can or freight can that **** and when done mining send the miners to get haulers and make quick work of it. |

Personally, Hulks should be used only if you have a dedicated hauler that can keep up. You should not use an Orca as a dedicated hauler unless you already have 4 or more exhumers otherwise the group would benefit more from that pilot just giving mind link boosts from an exhumer. |

Sorry.
I'm gonna base my information on my own 3 1/2 years of mining experience in probably every combo of equipment possible.
But you go ahead and not give it a try. Good Luck. |

Its an old post anyway. It looks as if it is before ore holds addition, but I could be wrong. |

So a fleet without a dedicated hauler before you add an Orca. MACK + MACK + MACK + MACK (Orca Pilot)
or a fleet with a dedicated hauler before you add a Orca HULK + HULK + HULK + HULK (Orca Pilot) + HAULER
or minimum fleet to include an Orca HULK + HULK + HULK + HULK + Orca
This is probably the closest answer to my question I have gotten. I have 2 accounts, one can fly everything up to an orca, and the other can fly just exhumers. What I am asking is, is the combination of using a Hulk + Mack more efficient or less efficient to using a Mack + Mack. There would be no dedicated hauler unless I have 1 account fly the orca. |

Just freakin' mine already or do something else ingame if you are looking for the most efficient ISK.
You choice of Mack or Hulks here is only a matter of less than 2 M ISK per day depending. |

Perhaps I worded my question incorrectly. I have 2 accounts, not 3. I don't have a dedicated hauler/booster. So my question was whether using the combination of a Mack + Hulk was more or less efficient than using a Mack + Mack when it comes to quantity of ore produced.

So in other words, you don't know which combination is more efficient... but that 1 combination brings in 2M more. Well that definitely doesn't answer the question. Don't bother answering unless you read the question first. |

If you looking for max production with 2 mining accounts only, run a mack and a hulk. The hulk produces more then the mack so you can keep it in the belt the entire time, and you use your mack to haul for both characters. Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012. |

There are many opinions. The best idea is to use the set-up you like and have fun using. Remember to fit sufficient tank to your mining vessels, collect and update knowledge of the 'locals', keep an eye on 'local' channel for any undesirables and hopefully enjoy yourself. |

What I am asking is, is the combination of using a Hulk + Mack more efficient or less efficient to using a Mack + Mack. There would be no dedicated hauler unless I have 1 account fly the orca. Considering the Mack will hold almost as much as an itty 5, might as well haul with the mach k and it can mine while waiting for a full load. Keep in mind though that Mack HULK combo will fill the Mack very fast. Two macks without OCRA boost should take a good 20 minutes to fill on their own. That is only 3 trips to station per hour. Not a lot of lost mining time. If there is no station you can drop a couple enormous freight containers at a safe spot and drop ore there. at 250,000m3 per can they will hold a lot, and can be picked up with a freighter later. I say drop them at a safe spot as they can be stolen from, just like a jetcan.
Jetcan mining is point less as a jetcan only holds 27,500m3 while a mack holds 35,000m3.
Personally I have 4 accounts and run 3 HULKS and an ORCA, I find the convenience is well worth the slight loss in yield. I know the numbers say I should be running 4 Macks, or 2 Hulks and 2 Macks, but the ORCA makes logistics so much easier. |

That's what I figured but it seems that most swear by the Mack + Mack combination. Is the downtime of traveling back and forth from the station really that significant? |

That's true. There is still a bit of a boost from the leadership skills themselves, not just by using the ganglinks. I have perfect leadership skills on my main so I'd be gaining something from that. |

A Mack can haul 35,000m3, and mines only slightly less than a HULK. However with the MAck/Hulk combo you will be making 6-7 trips back to station per hour.Depending on how fast you are dumping ore and getting back to the belt you may find the mack is spending very little time mining. |

Mack+Mack combo is for people who do't feel like jetcanning ore after every cycle. With the Hulk+Mack combo you will do more travelling because you are mining more ore. Whether you take 1 trip on 2 accounts, or 2 trips on 1 account, you will still have to drop the ore off at the station and you will lose productivity. However since the Hulk mines more, and you can keep that in the belt the entire time, you will see a small increase in yield based off of the fact the Hulk pulls in more m3 per minute. Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012. |

I know, I'm aware of this. There has just been a debate about whether using a Mack + Mack is more efficient than using a Hulk + Mack combination. I didn't think that the trade off of having to return to the station more often with 1 account was so significant.

Would be sweet though, if a HULK could sacrifice a strip miner to equip the ganklink. |

That is exactly what I figured. The hulk would be in the belt the entire time, so there would only be 1 account traveling back and forth from the station at any given time, so the loss of yield would be the result of 2 lasers not being on a roid, where as if you are running two Macks, it would be the same at any given time, just less often. |

I totally agree! It would definitely a huge benefit and some would probably argue an unfair one at that.

Really it isn't. 2 Macks will have to make about 3 trips to station per hour each, so 6 trips, A Hulk and Mack combo, the Mack will have to make 6-7 trips to station per hour. That extra trip is due to mining more than 6 Mack loads worth of ore. So if the Mack Hulk combo is getting even half a load more per hour, that is a higher yield, so the better option if you are going for max yield.
The Mack Mack combo is preferable for those more interested in lower effort, no worries about transferring the Hulks yield to the Mack, or the Hulk mining to a jetcan while the Mack is gone. But if you do not mind the extra work, and risk of using jetcans, the Hulk Mack combo will bring in more ore. You can always use GSC's or freight containers rather than jetcans. |

I appreciate the new player tips but sadly, I am not a new player and it is not exactly the answer I was looking for.

Well that definitely answers my question. The only advantage is having to do less work but then again, same goes for the Orca + Hulk setup. So for maximum ore production, the Hulk + Mack combination reigns supreme unless there are more accounts available of course. |

It only matters if you mine with others in a player corp. Deciding when to pull out the Orca and when it makes less sense to.
In the case it is only you, mining with 2 Mackinaw would be a bit more relaxing if your not micromanaging cargo holds and you don't need to leave the belt as often. |
