hulk has to be reballanced with new technologys available,
whats new? now we have mining upgrades II giving 9% yield bonus(2x in low slots)
Orca now provides 15% yield bonus, aprox -25% cycle reduction and aporx same % to laser range
Mining drone rigs that pushes harvesting drones to provide over 500m3 a minute
my suggestion and rather need or even logic step is to reballance hulks cargohold!
why?
hulk now yields over 8000m3 a cycle thus we need to get 10000m3 cargohold on hulk as soon as possible just to cover the yield base a cycle
hope this will be taken into consider, its not some silly idea just cose i would like to have that cargohold but rather something that needs to be ballanced with new technologys we have been given

ummm... you stated in your argument that part of the reason the Hulk needs more cargo is because of the orca's bonus, but failed to realize that the orca IS the hulk's cargo buff.

just another thought, for now u can forrget bout haveing extra crystals in cargohold and do your thing, mining cycle by cycle

------------------------------ yes but my bigger concern is that hulk will not be able to support its yield in cargohold sense in a way activating all of its strip miners at once and not louseing ore unrecoverbly

you didnt read the OP, and i will assume you have never mined in your life.
the yield is LARGER THEN THE HULKS HOLD. that means you are losing ore per cycle. the orca doesn't get it till after a cycle.
personally, i think OP's stats are a shade out of whack, but i could be wrong. - PvPers always say "GB2WoW". the message is that EVE is hard, and people just need to deal with it. wasn't it funny how when nano's started making it hard for *them*, that all went out the window? |

How do you get a hulk to put out 8000 m3 a cycle?? I want some of that!!

but consider this you have an orca, your are most likely to be in highsec, you can jetcan and have the orca with a cargohold (30,000m3 base capacity max expandable to around 90,000m3+) that should cover a few hulk cycles...why not have it at the belt and not offgrid at some random location.

yes but u see its bout when u have both 5% implants for yield, all lvl5 yield effect skills, 2x mining upgade t2, 2x drone rig, 5 harvesting drones and!!!
on top of that u get orca pilot with mining foreman lvl5 (10%) and mindlink hardwiring that make mining foreman 15% effective to yield bonus, then u got -25% miner cycle reduction, if u good in mining and know how u position yourself it really punches the hulk cargohold with drones and hulk yield, and u can forget about takeing few spare crystals in carghold. this ofc doesnt effects half trained/focused miners but it does those fully into mining like me wich do mining as profession primarly.

What she's saying is that one cycle will not fit in the Hulk's cargohold. Doesn't matter how big the Orca's cargohold is because you can't mine directly to it.

its simple...
f1.... wait a minute. f2.... wait a minute. f3.... wait a minute and start scooping ore.
just because it takes a an extra minute or two to set up doesnt mean you need to rebalance a ship. You'll simply have to become more aware of whats going on. |

You shouldn't have to do that anyway...
I think the Orca needs another boost - give hulks a 50% increase to cargo capacity

Easy solution, stagger your harvesters, start one then wait 1/3 of a regular cycle, start the second, wait another third, and start the last. Jetison when you need to.
With rocks, I manually cycle the lasers every minute anyway so I'm not trying to get ore from an asteroid that isn't really there any more.
(Unless you want it to be very easy, in which case you drop one of the upgrades for an expander. You don't get the yeald, but you get very easy)

I vote NO on increasing mine-into-cargohold solo hulk players!
I mean, sheesh, the Hulk is already the end-all-be-all mining ship, and you want to make it MOAR EPIC?? _____________________________________

To fit cargo rigs, will cut into bottom line, if you want max yield, yes you have to stagger your lasers or you will waste some ore.

Stagger your mining lasers. Fit cargohold expanders. Problem solved.

Base * 1.275^EC2 * 1.15 T1 * 1.2^T2
w/ 2 EC2s = 8000 * 1.275^2 = 13,005 (But you don't want to stop using your upgrades) w/ 3 T1 rigs = 8000 * 1.15^3 = 12,167 w/ 1 T1 & 2 T2 rigs = 8000 * 1.15 * 1.2^2 = 13,248
If you want simple (aka very easy) fit rigs. Your spending isk is better than CCP changing the ship for you

The problem is this...
the hulk IS the Be-All End-All of mining...
The fact that it can't hold it's own yield is stupid...
it'd be like having a pickup truck that can handle a 3 ton towing load and giving it a 1 ton hitch...

this. its true that rigs and staggering will allow for a makeshift solution. but the fact remains, a mining ship cant hold a single full cycle on its own, if you use max yeald mods.
is that not a shade retarded? - PvPers always say "GB2WoW". the message is that EVE is hard, and people just need to deal with it. wasn't it funny how when nano's started making it hard for *them*, that all went out the window? |

Actaully, the ship can hold the yeald of the miners. It's your makeshift boosting that's topping the hold, so a makeshift cargo solution to your makeshift boosting is the answer. (If adding components to boost the hold is a makeshift solution, then surely so is boosting yeald)
If you want to boost your yeald, you should boost your hold. The solution is already there. (And nothing you can say will change that fact)
Simple as that. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Umm, yeah. Don't have any time to talk now. Maybe later.

(I inserted key text to clarify the OP's position)
Probelm is, the OP fit everything to get the maximum yeald, and not going for a more balanced approach. There is another group of people that fitted to get the maximum desired effect and on tuesday, they are getting nerfed because so many people complained.
If enough people complain here, maybe the yeald boosters will get nerfed as well. (Then watch the whining) Either live with the loss, or pull out one of your rigs and add a T1 Cargo Optimization for an extra 1200m3 capacity. If dropping the drone rig puts your expected max yeald below 8k, you can save yourself 35mil. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Umm, yeah. Don't have any time to talk now. Maybe later.

Edited by: Kell Braugh on 10/11/2008 00:47:08 OP says "Hulk needs re balancing". Hrm.. and just what is the Hulk re balancing with? Its a unique ship with no real equivalent or competition.
Not sure exactly why you don't understand the responses to your post though. We are saying everything about your process and setup (fit) are for MAXING out your yield. It just so happens things don't always work out the best overall when you only focus one aspect.
So you choose max yield, and complain you don't have the cargohold to fit it. Ok. Whats the problem? Scale back a bit on the yield and boost your cargo and you'll fit it just fine.
As an example, what you are asking for is the same as a fitting a pvp ship with a 100% gank setup and complaining you have no tank.
For reference, I've got a Indy alt and make most my isk mining and manufacturing. I say the Hulk is *just fine* and any ship that can mine about 5k m3 while tanking a triple Battleship spawn is already giving you a huge advantage. - EFT screen shots are NOT an accurate example of a ship's abilities. |

Some of the numbers in the others replys are off but as far as regards the Ops comments about increasing the Hulk's cargohold to accomidate greater mining yield.
A Hulk with two cargohold Optimization I's would have a capacity of 17,199 cubic meters.
The ship works just fine if properly fit, no adjustment needed.

the OP is asking for a rebalancing of the hulk, and i think everyone here is being bad at yelling at him.
Remember he is not asking for a boost, so more cargo space is out of the question(as that would be a boost) but balancing the hulks yield to fit better with the new bonuses of the orca IS a good idea.
lets say 20% less yield pr cycle should do it i think, perhaps someone else could run the numbers to be more excat.
On a serious note, like alot of people have said stagger your lasers if you want maximum yield OR fit an expander of any kind ... nuf said |
