Okay - so. I'm seriously considering creating an alt that can fly an Hulk, while my main (this one) pilots the Orca with all the optimizations and stuff.
Any advise on what would be the best race and settings etc. to get to the Hulk relatively fast?
Arigatou for your help.

Well doesn't really matter what race, with caldari I was able to et into a hulk in an ok time frame. Get all your learning skills up then get your cybernetics trained to use at least +3's and go to town.

You actually get more income with 2 hulks than an orca and a hulk I believe.

You also have to micro manage.

yep - I do 2 x hulks when I can "play" fully... and one Orca/one hulk when multitasking...horses for courses but I find it gives you a degree of flexibility that way...

Also depends where you're mining. In high sec Orca/Hulk keeps you from getting can flipped, where as in 0.0 you can Jetcan Mine for an hour and a half in a Hidden Belt and be fine. If you can pull aggro with the Orca you can mine with 5x Mining Drone II's and bring in a small amount while managing the Hulk actively, that works out well also.
Happy Mining

in terms of best starting race
you want caldari>alchura>inventor.
IF you do it right.. basically get cybernetics 1 first (+3 implants) then do the learning skills
You can create a fully hgh sec t2 crystalled hulk in 53 days.
Or if you use a buddy invite, basically free :)... giving your main account 30days free gametime when your new alts account buys a plex

Don't put on the Hulk Blinders...
One thing to ask yourself is - do you want to mine while the character is working towards a Hulk, if the answer is yes, stopping along the way to learn your T2 Mining Crystals (Veld IV, Scord IV, Plaig/Pyro IV, Kern IV, Omber IV) and Mining Upgrades IV is totally worth it. Even in a Retriever you'll be seeing about a 20% increase in your m3 per cycle, while your skilling on your way to a hulk. You can knock most of the empire ore crystals out in about a week. There's a big gap in training time from when you can fly a retriever and fly a hulk so something to keep in mind if you want some minerals for ISK or production in the interim.
If you're not mining the account, you just tack them onto the end. But getting them knocked out in on the way to the hulk lets you fully fit it when you final get to fly the exhumber.
