You must not mine in true low sec space or with Sansha's! I have this exact setup and last night came within 2 seconds of losing my new hulk to a triple 950,000 isk Sansha BS spawn with a few frigs as well. They tore through my defenses like I didn't even have a shield booster on. I'm going to ditch the cargo rigs, ditch the cargo expanders, ditch the T2 cap recharger, and fit 2 cap recharge rigs, add a second gistii-a shield booster, and fit a mix of PDU T2's and mining upgrades if I can use a mining upgrade with this setup and run the tank, i'm not sure, and possibly shell out 100 mil a piece for some faction hardeners. of course sansha's are the hulks weak spot, so that doesn't help. But I can literally be torn to the ground in a matter of seconds, imagine if a triple 1.7mil BS spawn would've jumped on top of me? I'd be short a hulk right now I can tell you that much. And I'm caldari and have pretty decent shield skills...

Hmm never mined against EM damage...maybe put one EM rig and one cargo rig. But Ive tanked triple 1.7 Gurista spawns no problems. Even killed a Dread cruiser spawn one time with my drones

And what would you do with that second shield booster you nubbin?.. you sure cant run them at the same time.
Anyways you obviouly cant boost enough to make up for the damage you are taking. and from playing around with setups myself I dont really think a shield boost amp will fit on the hulk. So you have to figure out how to take less damage. That means either boosting your resists or perhaps going faster. Taking out the Cargo Expanders will let you go faster, so there is some improvement already. putting in a damage control should give you another 2% resists to the highest resist.. an afterburner might also help, though I think you are better off putting in an invulnerability field. Even if its passive it should give you another 1-2% at max skill for the highest resist.. Low slots could be PDUIIs better shield and better cap.. overall nice.. and the cap recharge rigs should help let your cap keep up with your booster once it can keep up with the dps of the rats..
Or perhaps you have to face that a hulk cant tank everything that might be thrown at it.. had the same experience when I did a lvl 2 storyline mission in one :D Didnt have the proper modules or skill for tanking in it though..

Im facing the same challenge with tanking 0.0 sanshas. Biggest I can tank with mentioned setups, exh. 4 and a anti-Em rig is 2x800k rats with support. my EM resistance is at +_80%, far too low ;)

My humble setup is@
3x Modulated Strip Miner IIs
1x Gistii A-Type Small Shield Booster 2x Rat Specific Hardners 1x Eucetic Cap Recharger
2x Expanded Cargohold IIs in low sec and 2x Mining Laser Upgrades in high sec
2x Cargo Optimzation Rigs
5x Hammerhead IIs
If a player comes into the low sec system you are in Run. Your hulk cannot stand up to a player unless you beg. But the rats, I've mined as low as 0.1 without any problems. No wait one problem but that's because I forgot to put the hardeners on. Any other setup really is a waste of space and ISK in lower sec.

The previous setups work brilliantly.
My personal setup is as follows.. It's a bit on the expensive side, but it gets the job done.
High 3- Strip Miners
Medium 1x Gistii-A Small Shield Booster 1x Domination Shield Boost Amplifier 2x Named NPC-specific hardeners
Low Whatever you want. MLU's, PDU's, WCS..
Rig 2x Capacitor Control Circuit 1

low slots:
2x cargo expander t2

I am gonna second the 2x Expanded Cargo II's setup. My Alt does ninja mining in 0.1 and you generally speaking dont want to mine into a can. Its way to risky for some pirate to come and (if you get away with your hide) blow up your can. So mining into a hold is a good way to go. This also applies to empire where ore thieves or pirates steal ore from you, either for the ore, or as a trap so that they can gank you.

drones: 5x hammerheat T2 ( medium drones)
Find someone is mining ( he will not warp because u are in a mining ship) and then passive target, scramble + double web, and kill them with drones. 
    
My mining director can kill you a lot faster than you. So a free pod? is welcome then

Against Sansha I ran a Gistii + DG Photon / Heat + Domi Invul | 1 MLU + 1 Cap Flux T2 | 2x shield-boost speed increase
It was tanking a 3 BC + 1x 1.2m spawn, however then 2 additional 1.2's showed up and it broke my tank. I wonder if a SBA instead of domi invul would have been better.
Yes if you stagger the strip miners this runs just fine. Normally you get 28.5 shield/sec, with the shield boost speed rigs you get 38 shield/sec. Excluding natural shield regen.
Hmm, with a SBA that would go to 52.25 shield/sec, I'll have to test that. Was a bit disappointed about the hulk's tank, but its probably because its vs Sansha.

I just got my first Hulk yesterday and since I will stay for a good while in High sec doing my mining I think I will go like this:
High: 3 MSMII Med: Gist-a small shield booster, Eutetic Cap recharger, 2 Rat specific hardeners. Low: Expanded cargo II x2
2x Cargo rigs
My biggest problem is the can thieves and these can be avoided completely if I¦m my own hauler. If I add several secure cans for the 900 metric gain each then I¦m in business. If I would join up with a gang or corp mine in high sec I would exchange those expanded cargos for mining upgrades. ------------------------------------------------ "Stop quoting laws, we carry weapons!"

You're going to scrap 80 Million isk in rigs by removing the cargo rigs. Might as well keep that hulk for high sec, and buy another hulk on which you can put your cap recharge rigs, IMO.

This is the only way to go if in 0.0
3x Modulated Strip Miner II
2x Gistii A-type shield boosters 2x Rat specific Dread Guristas type hardeners 1x Dread Guristas shield amp 2x MLU or 1x MLU and PDU II (depends on cap skills)
2x CCC rigs
Expensive but best way to go.Was tanking 2 bs and 3 cruisers last night. Raven pilot who is in alliance came to belt as he was ratting immediately asked me your tanking those in a hulk, whats your setup.

1. Named MLU's are broken so it's waste of money until rev 2.2. 2. Shield rigs increases signature radius, so, what he'll gain from better EM resists (and I point you to "2x npc hadners" so this is supposed to be versatile fit) against Sansha and Blood raiders, he'll loose by being bigger target (missiles will hit him with better damage, guns will hit more often). 3. it's too expensive. :P

A just for fun setup (havent tried it ever...in EFT works great though):
High: 3xMSM II
Med: 1xMedium Shield Extender II 1xInvulnerability Field II 1xShield Recharger II 1xPhoton Scattering Field II
Low: 2x RCU II
Rigs: 1x Ancillary Current Router I 1x Cargohold Optimization I
Very tight in PG and CPU but it fits  Has 79.2/65/73.8/82.5 Em/Therm/Kin/Expl resists 3082 Shield / 398.4 Recharge (Shield Operation V, Shield Management IV) 1234 m3 yield per min (3702 m3 per cycle) No cap probs with energy management and energy systems op IV. Cargo 9200m3 (Almost 2.5 cycles fit easily)
I guess it gives you enough time to tank to get the hell out of there :P Reminder: Fun setup :) |

Originally by: Jester Marc I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to fit my Hulk. I just finished training my skill of Exhumer 4 and am new to exhumers and relatively new to mining. I plan on mining in 0.0 space on whatever is the best return for my investment. Thank you.
"...relatively new to mining" and you're at Exhumers IV? People in frigates and cruisers are "relatively new to mining..."
Of course, looking at your bio... My advice is to join a real corporation and learn the ropes. As for 0.0 mining, if you think you're going to traipse on down to 0.0 and not get blown into bits, you're kidding yourself.
And, no, I'm not being mean. Nobody who's been in the game as long as your employment history and characteristics should be so entirely clueless to this. So I'm guessing you've just got this character however you got it.

Originally by: Shinhan Now that MLU II is in, whats the best Hulk setup?
Right now I advertise semi-passive solution with Gisii SB and 3 Caldari Navy amplifiers. Amplifiers needs only 20 tf, so it is possible to fit them with 2 MLUs II with mining upgrades at level 5 (or 'Gypsy' KMB-50). Right now they're also not too expensive (40-50M for EM i thermal. Kin and explo aren't available right now.). With CPU implant you could switch Gistii with Pithi SB. Strong tank agains NPCs (requires shield compensations at 4 at least), low cap drain, max yeld.
Originally by: Shinhan And whats the best cost effective solution?
Tech 2 SB + tech 2 amplifiers + MLU I or cheapest named.
Originally by: Shinhan Aoede or MLU II and Faction hardeners?
Right now there is only 1 Aoede on the contract, starting bid is set on 500M, buyout 700. Who is gonna buy that?
