As someone who flies the Skiff almost exclusively, I am very happy with this change. The addition of the range bonus on the hulk is also a great idea to make it more powerful without giving it direct yield, and thus lowering mineral prices. I've said since the beginning that the benefits of the hulk don't outweigh the costs. This doesn't solve that completely, but it is a big help.
Nice work as usual CCP. |

I'm guessing the thought ran something along the lines of "Proc/Skiff can super tank, Ret/Mack can tank well enough as well, so we'll give Cov/Hulk the Monty Python defense... RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!! Their defence should be in the form of vigilance before hostiles are on grid with you.
That should be the defense for any mining fleet. The defenses on the skiff aren't for players outside of hi sec. You tank a skiff to survive null sec rats. No amount of buffer is going to save you in low or null against players. Giving the hulk an agility bonus makes it easier for them to escape rats, that's all. If reds are getting to you while you're still in the belt, you're still going to die, no matter how fast you align. |

Google "power creep" to see why yours is a bad idea.
Also, CCP doesn't want mineral prices to go down, which is all your idea would accomplish. |
