Think we will ever see them? The current Barges/Exhumers are all technically Cruiser or Medium-sized. Since once you get into a Hulk or a Mackinaw you're pretty much done as far as training for pure mining ships go, having Large-sized Barges/Exhumers would not only be pretty cool, but would allow you to advance further as a miner.
Imagine a big fat Hulk-looking ship roughly 1km long.
Awesomesauce. Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you. |

I am ashamed to say that miners in general whined and whinged their way to the current changes instead of adapting and overcoming with the tools available.
The 6 (8 if you wanna include the Orca & the Rorqual) mining ships we have now are sufficiently different to promote the use of different classes and may even encourage some miners to branch out and move around a bit, instead of the usual "I want MAX yeild and MAX cargo, and MAX tank" argument.
I just want MAX size....  Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you. |

If you ask me, CCP didn't do things right with the Barge changes. Instead of making the existing Barges so much tougher of a nut to crack, they should've added Battleship-sized Barges/Exhumers.
Though I guess doing new models and stuff takes too much effort.
Or perhaps the Hulk should've been Battleship-sized from the get-go. Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you. |

The barge changes were a part of the Tier-icide effort, the ongoing changes to ships to make them all viable and worth flying.
When you can mine peacefully without interruption, the only thing that matters is your effective yield. If a large hull with a superior mining yield existed, miners would only undock in that.
I agree with the first part of your post, but not the second. With the introduction of Ore Holds, max yield is no longer the sole concern when picking your Barge/Exhumer. Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you. |

Because Rohks can fit Barge/Exhumer laz0rs. *thumbsup*
And where did I say 8 laz0rs in the first place?
I just want bigger ship

Or alternatively make the ORE ships a bit bigger.
Perhaps make Exhumers a tad bit, perhaps 2/3's, bigger than their Barge counterpart. Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you. |

Why exactly is it silly? Industrial stuff tend to get reaaaal big because bigger is usually more efficient. Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you. |

EVE was never meant to be a 'sit and mine' game. It's Pew-Pews in Space. Hence why there's a massive imbalance of Combat/Recon/Scout/Probe/Kaboom-yo ships to Rockmunchers.
Actually it was meant to be a "sit and mine" game.
You can't blame miners for playing the game exactly how CCP designed it
