I know similar posts have been made before on this topic and I wanted to bring this up again for discussion. CCP has(or will) introduce fuel bays for capital ships and have mentioned how they'd like the expand this idea out to other areas.
My background:
I've recently got my modulated strip miner IIs with T2 crystals in my retriever. I can now mine more in one cycle than my cargo hold can fit. While everyone knows you have to move up to the hulk for seroius mining, it doesn't change the fact that even an unrigged hulk can fill it's cargo hold very quickly.
CCP does not want to boost cargo holds because they don't like the idea of people using non-indy/freighers as transport ships.
I agrue that mining barges and exhunters need cargo space for mining crystals (a full set of replacements of just ore you can find in a hisec belt for a hulk is 3 crystals * 4 ore types * 50m3 (t2 crystals) is 600m3.
What I'd like to see is a reduction in cargo bay capacities and the addtion of an ore bay with a much larger capacity. This would be a great benefit to miners.

As I have seen on my Orca, things that increase Cargo Hold don't touch Ore Holds (or corp hangars). I.e. my cargohold optimizers rigs don't improve my ore hold's size.
I have two medium cargohold optimizers on my hulk, and I would be sad if the hold shrunk to 600 m3 and got a static 8000m3 ore hold.

I have 17,999 m3 by using Large Cargo Ops 1, might switch up to Cargo Op 2`s soon. What I`d rather see is a separate bay for crystals, like the drone bay is for drones. Maybe call it Auxiliary hold, or Tools hold or something. Give it like 1000 M3 in size, not TOO big, 1000 M3 would hold 10 T2 crystals (being that T2 crystals are 50 M3 each).
Why do people play Amarr? Because unlike the other races, Amarr characters are much more difficult to play. |

as far as i can tell both players and ccp want the hulk to be a expert miner but not a hauler of extream size. i personaly want the hulks cargo to increase by any size possible as i mostly mine alown as my corp is not that mining intensive.
one thing that i would suggest on this apect is that mining bardge be alowed to auto jet mined or into specific cargo containers that hold way more ore , last a ful day ( or till emptyed) and can be launched more than one every 5 minutes .
