Things change, I have 4 maxed exhumer characters and frankly I'm happy I can trade of some yield for a great tank.
Will I use a Hulk now? No thanks. For those that do crave Max yield they just need corp mates in combat ships to kill the gankers fast.

Wrong... A mack will out mine a Hulk when ice mining.. and a skiff is the best for mercoxit. they are bonused for it.
Not after tonight the mack and skiff loose those bonuses.

Yes because giving the hulk the ability to have a rig that increases ice mining per hour or merc mining per hour is such a bad thing.
Yes it is now a fleet mining ship so you need an orca or jet can but its abilities are higher than before.

What happened to "we want to speed things up and deliver the following for winter."? Winter comes four months early this year.
Well tonight my time so in just over 4 hours.
Yep patch that is about to happen alters the mining ships and quite a bit of other stuff.
And hell it is winter for me, so for once I get part of the winter expansion in winter

The hulk should be King of all minning vessels Im a maxed out minner with a alt that is a maxed orca boost and a roqual pilot. I have a large portion of skill points dedicated to this. I agree that minning ships need beter protection from gankers. but the inprovment to the small and mid size minning ships are so great why would any one want to fly a hulk.
if you kill the hulks massive benifits why the hell fly it its not worth traning for it. I feel robed. I have always paid cash for my eve time and never plexed always felt it a privlage to play this game. but if you do this to the hulk good buy game. remind me how your hulk is worse now than it was before the patch. please, i'd love to know.
I made the mistake of asking that before to someone.
They have minor complaints the size of a splinter but they argue like they just got run through with a tree.
Its easier to just assume they want their cake and the ability to eat it too.

Sure, each click of a strip miner yields (at most) 8% more than a Mackinaw. But I'm running back to drop off a load every 7 minutes. Let's say that takes 2 minutes to do. So, I lose 22% (2/9ths) of my mining time per load because of a limited hold. OTOH, a Mackinaw mines 8% slower, but I only run back every 25 minutes, so I only lose 7% (2/27ths) of mining time per load. So, I gain 8% yield and lose 15% on time. So, the Hulk went from the best solo mining barge to one that's really only "best" when mining with an Orca to hold the ore for you. I do like the tanky changes, so I think they're good overall, but I was just frustrated having to invest another 275M isk on another mining barge. Quote: if you have $20 and the guy next to you has $18 do you feel "robed" as well?
Depends. Was I told I could have $20?
Apparently with the barge changes, You believe Mining has become unbalanced. Have you considered another profession, like PvP perhaps or trading? I hear lo-sec gate campers are looking for people.
