Let me elaborate:
1. Hulks are almost same size as battlecruisers (volume, visual, etc). they should have a tank similar to this. Surely design engineers of the future are not terrible.
2. Gameplay it would also be good to have better tanks on them. It's way to easy to gank a hulk (which is the best exhumer). I think buffed tank would also make carebears use these in lowsec / 0.0 more. (This could also be solved by introducing mining vessel only usable in lowsec/nullsec.) If buff to EHP is given, then maybe change module so your ship has to stop in order to activate mining lazers. (No aligning out).
Also,
Show me any hulk that can tank 10 thrashers.
Well if you want an in-game reason for the weaker tank, just look at the 8000m3 cargobay. That's gonna create some structural issues.
Gameplay wise I think you're on to something. Having some sort of nullsec mining ship that has to "deploy" in exchange for substantially increased yield, but can't just autodock if a non-blue enters local would be an interesting way to force conflict.

That's fine for those just in the money. But what about those poor souls who actually enjoy mining?
Personally I'd just make a game out of it. Tank the crap out of your Hulk, try and get them to overkill you as much as possible. The more money they spend, the more you win!
If you're a dedicated miner you can afford to throw some money away, just like the gankers do. |

Eve is PvP Online, not mining online !
Then it shouldn't have mining in it, yet it does! How odd.
Its certainly one of the games less appealing features, and yet people are drawn to it all the same. There might even be more dedicated miners than there are pvpers. Scary, eh? |

Then all these miners should try to learn a thing or two about pvp and stop crying about getting ganked, it's getting pathetic.
If they did, you wouldn't have nearly as much fun ganking them, would ya? |

If I do mine it will be in a tanked Hulk, sure I might have to RTB more often, but its better than sitting in a pod...
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Invul fields only work if switched on...
Most hulk fits can perma-run invul fields. |
