Pretty much what the title says, are expander rigs the best ?

tbo I dont use mine for solo tanking belts or any of the other utilities it does, I just set mine up for the absolute max amount of ore being pulled in. and keeping with the theme if I was going to rig mine which I probably will eventually, I would just put some drone rigs to help their mining pulls.
at this point with maxed skills I believe each tech 2 mining drone pulls in 4 ore each(or maybe 3 not sure[ark or bistot btw]) anyhow with even teh smallest increase to drone pull amount it will up them one rock each thats an extra 5 ark or bistot units per minute and amazingly an extra 300 ark or bistot rocks an hour.
aside from that not sure what would be of use

Edited by: Malena on 12/09/2007 20:46:21 The trouble with the drone rigs is that they use up CPU, which can hurt your tank. So, if you happen to have drone rigging 5, and a CPU implant (pricey!) then okay, you can probably handle one of them without having to go with less tank...
Personally I use one cap recharge right now, haven't decided if the second will be cargo or total cap.

I use resist rigs. I use my hulk in 0.0 space so I value survivability against rats over increased mining yield.
In empire, expander rigs are your best friend. With expanders II, you get a 17,199m3 cargohold so you can store your ore in your hold while your hauler hauls. Jettison the ore once the hauler returns to haul. Repeat. ------------

Cargo expander rigs is what I use on my second account's Hulk. I'm in Angel territory, and the Hulk already has a high natural explosive resist.
I also use t2 expanders instead of mining lasers when solo mining. Cargo space a bit more important than yield. In gang work when I have a dedicated hauler, I swop for mining laser upgrades.

I agree with the Empire set up here above. T2 Cargo expanders over mining upgrades if doing it solo and switched around if in gang. Rigs...I¦m about to get into that. I see the tech I cargo rigs going for 40 mil each. I have not seen T2 cargo rigs though in my area. Around how much would they run?
In Empire I ignore mining drones and use instead a set of 5 hammerheads for security against rats although I begin to think its alot of overkill given that the Hulk can tank most Empire rats for ages without so much of an invul field or booster. ------------------------------------------------ "Stop quoting laws, we carry weapons!"

Mining in 0.0 Gurista space, I run a couple kinetic resist rigs, then fit up a thermal hardener, adn the thing pretty much tanks anything.. if for some reason i need to tank a heavier spawn, my buddy, or alt, in their hulk pops out a set of medium shield bots, and the thing will mine forever.
