I highly doubt that ship can be easily suicide ganked in high security, even by a coordinated attack from 1/2 dozen gankers. The Mach has ample slots to fit up a massive tank, even if it had equipped all low slots with expanded cargoholds, the mid and rig slots would still give it plenty of tank.
I see nothing wrong in being innovative and safeguarding oneself from gankers.

But in 0.5... well, look at it like this: 0.5 is miner ganker paradise, because that's the lowest CONCORD response time this side of high-sec. But this guy/gal, are they going to get ganked? Not unless Mittani himself is leading the squad. This is someone can truly AFK mine without a care in the world.
A mining Mach has about ~46k EHP with 2.7k of cargo space. (CPU is really tight.) A Procurer has ~42k EHP with 12.0k of ore space.
So I guess the Mach isn't that great of an AFK miner; thus there's no need to nerf the Mach.
edit: Mach and Procurer both fit with 2x MLU IIs. |

Do you know what he was mining? You need Kernite for the L4 storyline. Also Id drop MLUs in a mining Mach, to free up CPU for a better tank.

If you can buy a Mach, you can probably afford to pay a little extra for veld
DUST514 isn't on PC because CCP wants 2 different communities influencing each other, not people tabbing out to give themselves Orbital Strikes. (Also they don't want to cannibalise their existing playerbase) |

Stealth bumper?
edit: a bump mach with miners on it owns the belt. No one else can get close enough to actually mine the ore.

Sometimes I get tired of missioning and want to do something different with my time. That's led me to mining across several different battleship hulls (Rokh, Domi, and Megathron). Was it the most efficient way to mine? No.
Was it nice being able to have 50-60k EHP and a full drone bay to pop people who can flip me? Oh yeah.
Different times now, but I probably would have used a Mach for the same purposes if I had one at the time. |

I have seen it too. It has a bumper sticker that says "Bump me. I dare you."
This thread has so much content it may be 'Thread of the Year' and it is only January.

I can't decide if it's more wrong for a miner to use a macariel or for a combat ship to equip a mining laser. Can someone help me, my brain hurts? |

Ganking a Mach isnt the same as ganking a Hulk..

Haha that is nice of him to use a Titan, I hope he gets a mining DDD. Zaps all the roids in a belt and sucks them in.
How did he lose the high-sec Dread? Did he attack some one or did it get ganked? |

He still uses them both.
If you're ever passing through Amarr, check if he's in local.
It's the best way to see an Avatar up close without losing your ship.
