Ok, although I'm fairly sure this is a troll post I'll bite.
1) 10 billion isk capital ship designed to be used in low and null with no jump drive. This is just plain mental. No one would use it anywhere but the system it was built in because capital ships can't pass through jump gates and like anyone is going to also risk a titan to get this thing around considering it's not massively better than a few hulks.
2) Ship fuel made out of moon-goo. I'm pretty sure that no ship fuel is made out of moon-goo. WHat's wrong with using the ship fuels that are already in the game?
3) Appears on the overview when in sieged mode. This is completely mental. Who's going to use a 10bill isk ship that absolutely anyone can see straight away. Cov ops cap fleet hot drop with absolutely no effort?
Whilst I understand your wish to have a capital mining ship only fools would use this. It's a nightmare and the risk/reward calculation is way out of whack. The risk is enormous for no more reward than using, what, 3 hulks or so. Anyone with multiple accounts will just use multiple hulks rather than this unwieldy behemoth.
Not to mention the 30 minutes preparing and pulling down and the 15 minutes you'll have to wait if it's attacked before you can even move it. So an alliance wanting to use one of these has to have a combat fleet capable of dealing with a cap ship hot drop fleet or large subcap fleet on standby just to mine a bit of ore when they could just use a normal mining fleet, mine more for less isk risk.
I love the way some people have liked this. They've clearly never tried flying a Rorqual. Have you ever heard of anyone using a Rorqual for it's siege mode anywhere other than in the safety of a POS shield? I doubt it and that's because it's a giant sitting target which you can't get out once it's attacked. They don't even need to point it if they can kill it before it leaves siege mode and even then a few neuts and bumping will keep it there.

As long as the amount it can mine is 50% that of a hulk, yeah, sure. Otherwise it'll just replace all other mining ships.

Yeah, ok, that 50% was pulled out of my arse. What I was aiming at was that it would have to avoid being a replacement for a hulk.
The other problem with it is bots. It's quite obviously going to be used by botters to counter alpha ganks.
