Last night i was doing a few sums on my calculator trying to figure out how well the Rokh would perform against the Hulk. Below are my calculations.
Hulk: 3(540*(1.25^2)*(1.15^2)*1.1) =3682m3 per cycle
Rokh 8(60*(1.25^3)*(1.1))*3 =3093m3 per cycle
For the Rokh i used the value of 5 low slots (as the Raven has) for mining upgrades. This gives it the edge over the Apocalypse because the mid-slots are used for tanking on Caldari Ships.
(Also the *3 at the end of the Rokhs calculation is because of the 3 miniute cycle strip miners have).
I am hoping that such a (relatively) cheap ship that is also insurable will beat down the Hulks price somewhat when Kali comes out. I know that there is a 19% difference in yield, but given that 350M seeparates the gap, Hulk builders may see the market changing.

By my calculations the hulk with modulated strip miner 2's and no mining upgrades will yield: 4502.493 per cycle.

Did you use any of the implants though? Also I didnt use the crystal based lasers (deep core miner 2/ modulated strip miner 2) for either of my calculations. Could i get a copy of your sum please?

As i said i used modulated strip 2's (requiring a crystal) no implants. Thats why its higher. Imho you dont spend all that isk on an exhumer and not run the best equipment.

I tried my Hulk out in that setup a while back. When my computer got disconnected from the server, the Modulated strip miners had eaten up all of my cap, leaving none for the Gitsi sheild booster. Needless to say it was lonely in my egg looking at a can containing a few modules. I now use plain old Strip Miners. A bit less efficient but safer for crashes.

Barges/exhumers recover cap very quickly, so you shouldn't ever have a problem maintaining cap as long as you stagger the miners. I don't recall ever running totally out.
Also, if you're in a belt where the rats could conceivably kill you if your game crashes. keep combat drone flying around to draw them off.

Please dont try to do math its really isnt your storng point there m8.
A battleship no matter what class it is, will not add up to a large barge no matter no bad your math is.
I'm sorry, EVEN the "Rokh" will mine less than a large barge.
and to even see it vs a hulk just made my day.
sorry m8 You really need to do your math again. Thanks.l

It really depends on if you look at the big picture or not.
Rokh mining in lowsec, after insurance a loss to pirates might = 40m lost Hulk mining in lowsec, after insurance a loss to pirates might = 400m lost
Rokh able to afk tank 0.0 bs rats whilst mining in alliance space Hulk needing a dedicated tank for the same thing. If it had been 2 rokh's mining rather than 1 hulk + 1 defence, the rokh comes out the winner by a mile.
Rokh also means that if you are attacked by pirates, your time of survival would likely be much better. Sure, you will only have a few drones as defence, but vs 1 pirate you may last out for 2-3 minutes and that could be time to have reinforcements come in and save your ass, compared to the hulk against one pirate battleship, which would last appromiately 30-60 seconds, even with the above mentioned gist shield booster.
So, net yield definetly isn't everything when considering mining abilities.

But the original post only put it in terms of net yield.
When it comes down to it though, the calculations above appear favorable towards the Rokh, but those numbers are with Tech1 strips and no crystals on the barge. When it comes to a real mining setup, the covetor/hulk are way ahead. And really honestly, if you want a 0.0 miner that can handle itself in a fight, you want a Dominix anyway.
*edit
And to put it back on the original poster's point for this discussion. I doubt this is going to make any real difference in hulk prices. Reason being that people have always paid a premium to have the very best. The only thing that will drive down the price of the Hulk over time is production outstripping demand.

Give the man a cookie. Whilst my sums are probably off, all they are trying to do is say that there is a ship that can tank those spawns that a Hulk can, AND mine a sizeable shung of what the Hulk can. In my experience it is best to go for the cheaper ships that can pay for themselves fastest, cos sooner or later its gona get popped by pirates.

The most important difference: Hulk: 8000m^3 (~13k with 2 local hulls) Rokh: a lot less.
less interface interaction allows you to mine semi-afk with multiple accounts.
But your point (dont have time to check the math) still holds true - the rokh looks like the perfect mining battleship.

Sorry, but isn't a mealstrom (with one more low slot) still a better miner?

Can you make one tank 0.0 npc's while it mines? Or do you also need a ship for defence?

quoted from devblog "we intend the Maelstrom to be a shield tanking artillery boat"
so, answer would have to be 1 = yes.
Maelstrom should be able to tank and fit mining upgrades, and lasers. The issue will obviously be fitting requirements. And I'd be surprised to find that the Maelstrom doesn't have a drone bay, if its consistent with many of the Minmatar ships.
