Did you use the Mining Foreman Mindlink as well? |

If one only looks at game mechanic I would say one cycle would be fair enough, but I see an ergonomic reason for a hulk to be able to fit more than one cycle: with only one cycle to fit the monotonic hand movements will increase with at least a factor of 2 to 3. This will cause an significant increased stress on the mouse hand. I am aware this does not matter if you just mine for an hour or two, but for any extensive mining op this will make a significant difference. |

if you think moving a cycle of ore every 100-180 seconds is stressful on your hand then... i have no words for that. Reading my posts is like panning for gold; most it will be useless, but occasionally you'll find a nugget of gold. |

Have you tried done that for a longer period of time?

Every other PvE activity in EVE requires you to click more often than that. If it's a problem for you, use a Mackinaw. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

It is not about the frequency how often you do it but the monotonic repetitive motions and the duration that matters. |

In your OP you wrote " there's no reason the hulk shouldn't have an ore bay equal to the skiff's."
But what reason exist to increase it then?

I haven't had time to read the whole thread yet, so I apologize if this question has already been answered, but: is the new ORE mining frigate going to make it into this update?

i did? i'll take your word for that.
just because i said there's no reason why it shouldn't doesn't mean i think it should. to be honest, the ore bay in the hulk is irrelevant as long as it's over 6k m3 or so to hold one cycle of ore from synced strips.

Ditto As it is, you can have 10+3 crystals. So, you can have crystals for 3 ores with a spare each and one more extra or crystals for 4 ores and one spare (or singleton ore). I wonder if they will remove my rigs for me, or if I'll have some extra room? I've used cargo rigs to get my cargo space over two cycles worth of yield, but the lows are used for MLU2s. BTW, does the Ore hold mean I can stash my mining barge in the SMB without emptying the ore out? I've managed to sneak extra PI stuff around by putting it in the PI bay of the Primae and carrying it around before. Drox

No, the ORE frigate is slated for the winter expansion for when the current mining frigates get repurposed. |

To be fair your main point in the OP was that either make a cargo bay fit one cycle or two, not something in between as that would not make sense. And then you added above in the end of your comment. That is why I wondered why you thought it would be increased , but I take it from your comment that you just added that line without really consider the implication following from it. However, you now say it is irrelevant what the bay size is. That makes me wonder why you made the OP in the first place then? |

Been reading thru the thread and haven't commented yet. But i have to right here.
Before the Hulkagedons I mined 3 Hulks/Bustard (prior to Orca). Orca made my day tbh.
When Hulkagedon became a annual thing, I mined Rokh, APOC, Geddon, with a Orca...You want to complain about managing three hulks? I have to manage 24 Mining Laser 2's (tank fitted ships) and Orca. I wasn't insane enough to fit DCM2's with crystals.
Less accounts, more peeps flying makes life a bit more manageable nowadays. |

Ever been ratting? Same smell, different color. Any grinding in any MMO is going to have a potential for causing RSI for some people. The cure for that is to not do it if it's causing you injury. (Though, per Wikipedia: "However, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) has issued a statement claiming that the current literature does not support a causal relationship between specific work activities and the development of diseases such as CTS.")

The problem is that the hulk is supposed to have a role in fleet operation with these changes, but now you seams to suggest the hulk has no role at all? And as an addition note, I have already start consider to switch to Mack as ore mining vessel due to this, but thanks for the advice anyway.
The Role of the Hulk is to mine faster than any other ship if and only if you're willing to put the effort in to allow it to work efficiently.
It fulfills that. If the effort it takes to make it work efficiently is unacceptable to you, use a Mackinaw. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

I haven't had time to check all the threads but I read that Mining barge skill requirements are reduced in developers blog. It says you need Astrogeology III and Mining Barge I. However it doesn't state that you need Industry V. So did they removed the Industry skill requirement from Mining Barges all together? |

http://eve.wikia.com/wiki/Skills:Mining_Barge
Industry V has never been a pre-req for flying the ship. It's just a pre-req for injecting the Mining Barge skillbook (a subtle, but important difference*).
*This distinction is why, despite needing Advanced Spaceship Command at 5 to inject the Capital Ships skillbook, Carriers don't get the listed benefit from Advanced Spaceship Command. Carriers don't have Adv. Spaceship Command listed as their pre-req, and Adv Spaceship Command only gives a bonus to ships with it as a pre-req. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

wow, so the 25% agility bonus from advanced spaceship command 5 only counts for freighters?
CCP, explain yourself.
Also, bears complaining about their wrist from clicking every 3 minutes BWAAAAA?! It sounds like what you're really saying is "I have to stop looking at ponies every 3 minutes to alt-tab back to Eve and click things." |

Yep. But Capitals get the bonus from Capital Ships, and JFs get the Bonus from Racial Freighter.
Or you could view the bonus as being built into the stats, since everyone flying the ship has to have it at 5 (well, 4 for JFs, so uhh...) EvE: Everyone vs Everyone
