Seriously, give it 200 m3 more. We need at least be able to have enough different mining crystals in there. I tend to concentrate on one ore, while mining a big variety into jets. I need those crystals around. 200 m3 more won't break anything. Thanks. |

get some from your orca support?

Get them from your fleet support or anchor a GSC. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

The Hulk is designed for mining with Hauler Support. The Mackinaw is designed for solo mining.
You are using a hammer to put a screw into a 2x4 and complaining that it is hard.

It's not hard, it is annoying. That is all. There is no difference in yield or anything. All I do right now is dock up and get different crystals. Because that is faster than slowboating to a GSC and risk getting killed because I have not been aligned. |

If it will help, you can contract the Hulk to me for 205m ISK, as that's the current Jita sell price and I could probably use another. Hisec only of course.
You might want to read the Dev Blog - CCP Tallest - Ship Balancing: Mining Barges, especially the section on cargo and the amount of crystals they can haul.
CCP Tallest wrote:Covetor and Hulk are meant to be used in a group, so while they have the highest mining output, they also have the smallest ore bays. The reduction of the cargo holds does have an unfortunate side effect for miners; there is much less space for mining crystals. We alleviated this slightly by cutting the volume of mining crystals in half, but it is now something that miners have to plan for before they go mining. |

Then your doing it wrong. Hulk is clearly intended for fleet mining operations. Mackinaw has larger cargobay, becouse its intended for solo mining.
Personally i think exhumers are fine as they are now, they have clear roles now, instead of hulk being end of all thigns... [Insert something funny or smart here]

For what it's worth, have to agree -- while it would be nice to have, hulk cargo size is fine. As posted above by the dev, better planning.

keep in mind, you don't really need a replacement crystals for all three lazers. i usually only keep one or two of each type. that's enough flexibility for my needs. |

That gives you enough crystals for 5 ore types and 2 additional crystals. Or if you're in high sec 3 crystals for each ore type and 5 additional crystals for your main ore. Or 3 crystals for each ore type with 1 additional crystal for each and 2 crystals for you main ore.
Seriously you need more then that? You're planning on mining 10+ hours without stopping in a station? Or if you're mining with an orca the orca cant give you access to some?
Well then fit a medium cargohold optimization I and gain an additional 50m3. Or fit 2 and hold 4 or 5 more crystals.
There are so many options available to you, adapt and get used to it. |

actually it's 13, or you won't be able to swap crystals. |

you shouldn't have to have empty space to swap a crystal anyway, it's bad coding on CCP's part. |

I never mine without one, or two, Orcas, but . . . .
Have you considered putting spare crystals in a GSC? |

God that fit asking to be ganked. Seriously you need Invulnablity Feild or two, and a survey scanner. Maybe even fit a shield booster in case of emergency. And no shield rigs? You're more defenseless than a new born baby.
I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen. |

Yup, that is why I would not use it. I use a tank fit, especially since I am in 0.0. But does not matter, I bought a macki and it can hold all the crystals I need while only losing about 150m3 yield per minute. To be honest, I still want that change since I see no reason why the mack should be able to carry a wide variety of crystals while the Hulk is not. |

Maybe the name of the fit could have been a clue.
Also, Shield Boosters to help save you from ganks?

Because, as has been pointed out to you numerous times, the Mackinaw is designed for Solo mining, and the Hulk is designed for use with fleet support. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

Not having enough room for crystals can be game breaking though, at least for HULKS not in a fleet. Some players do still jetcan mine with HULKS, although I would use jetted freight cans as they hold way more, and never despawn.
A mack can easily hold a full set of crystals as it only needs two of each. The HULK needs 50% more crystals, so should have a 50% larger cargo hold. And I do mean cargo hold, as in where the spare crystals are stored, not ORE hold where the ore goes, ore holds are as they should be. |

i agree with this, if i had to agree with anything.
ccp say they like choices, so a cargo hold big enough for *exactly* three of each type of crystal (minus one, as they will already be in the strips) plus 25m3 spare so you can swap crystals due to the bad coding is the no brainer. your choice is then have crystals for every ore, so you're prepared for every situation, or alternatively sacrifice some types of ore in order to carry reloads.
it's a choice, ccp like choices, right? |

Considering a set of T2 crystals lasts about 10 hours, there really is no reason to need to carry spares. nobody is going to mine for 10 hours without hauling. the hauler can deliver spares, or if solo, when you go to switch to your hauler swap them out.
There is no need to use crystals until they pop. a crystal 90% used will still refine into the same minerals as a fresh unused crystal. Always start with fresh crystals, and reprocess the used ones to get 80-90% of the crystals cost back in minerals.
If you make your own crystals this can save you loads of isk. even buying BPC's when you recycle most of the material costs, you will be making them far cheaper than you can buy them. |
