the T2 will haul in more per hour, even if the haul per cycle is better on a Harvester.
When the haul per cycle is 33% better than t2 drones (8 ore units instead of 6), unless those Harvesters are spending 20 EXTRA seconds per cycle coming back from and going to the rock as compared to their t2 brethren, Harvies still win the day.

Harvesters suck, period.
How kind of you to blindly follow the dictates of the semi-informed guide writer rather than look at the math and realize you're wrong. That's okay; I'm sure you'd also tell me that Neutron blasters rock, even when you're fitting 2 damage mods and a reactor control, and I'm using Ions with 3 damage mods. Or any number of similarly cockamamie stances based, again, not on a careful review of the evidence but instead on some half-baked "gut feeling" or on an overblown, self-righteous, "thread-pwning!!11!!1!" mining guide writer.
If you'd like to dispute my math, dispute my math. But don't make stupid assertions without the intestinal fortitude or the intellectual capability to back them up.
--P
P.S. Preemptively, to the mods--"cockamamie", n. Something ridiculous, incredible, or implausible. From the French "dTcalcomanie". Not circumventing the profanity filter, just using a proper word in the proper context that happens to contain those letters in that order.
I personally prefere T2's due to cost.
But I want to give Pilk who wrote this a few months ago my friendship. I have had huge pointless arguement threads by people who throw gut feeling or 'because its seems so' evidence at me expecting them to knock over my emperical arguemts. I have even had the neutron/ion arguement you cited as an example and I got the usual "your a n00b Neutrons are what you need, ions/electrons are crap"
Oh I love you so. The best is when someone said I was an utter insane moron for saying a passive drake can out tank a Harbringer with 4 medium t2 armour reps. And I proved numerically even with 1billion in faction Energised Adaptive membranes that is not so.... Such a good feeling. The fool still denied it due to his stupid 'gut feeling, therefore its so' or 'Everybody else seems to strongly think so'therefore that view must be correct logic.
***Its this very logic of "because everybody says so it must be so" logic that kept slavery in place sexism and all the other things that look rediculous from out modern perspective going for 100's of years***
Damn I love mavericks like you who do not jump on figure bandwagons and work things out. Beautiful. A bit of topic but its the way he argued, Could apply to so many threads in eve.
