And how are you going to get the ratter to just sit there tanking the spawn indefinitely? Exactly. By paying them at least equal to what they would make solo ratting. Which means you drop your 30mil/hr to 20mil immediately ... not even factoring in hauling then again.
And yes, the Hulk is sadly not a ton better than the Covetor. Which is even more of an insult as far as skills go then. But the screwed up way the skill requirements are for Exhumers, if you can fly a Covetor then you half all or nearly all the requirements to train Exhumers anyways.
Unless your tanker is in a Rokh that, as noted above, gets 60-80% of the yield of a Covetor.

"5. No BS, NONE should come anywhere near my barge or exhumer in pulling in ore. PERIOD. Not even the lowest level barge. (Stupid Rokh!)"
Yeah, it's a travesty that a 160M ISk ship can be almost as effective as a 10M ISK specialised ship.
But why is this such an isue for you? I find having my Covetor protected by a tanking Rokh with 8 Miner IIs both effective & profitable. Ups my per-minute take by a good 50%, and I can still keep mining with it while my miner switches to her hauler.

The drone regions are messed up in part because the people reprocessing and selling those compounds have dropped the zydrine and megacyte prices because they didn't have a clue what they were worth (yes, I know the regions have a LOT of other problems but they haven't helped themselves.)
I've bought stacks of Zyd for as low as 1k a piece, nice for manufacturing with but if it wasn't for re-sellers the high end market really would have crashed in the first month after the regions came out.
As for comparative cost of ships, I'm sorry but the cost of a Rokh t2 fitted for mining doesn't come anywhere near half the price of Hulk, let alone the cost of the fitting which will include a high end Gistii booster if you plan to actually survive any spawns out there.
(Yes, whoring this thread I am. Bee in my bonnet it is.)
What this thread isnt about:
Cost of ships
Crappyness of some random 0. region.
I am not concerned with the price of hulks or Rokhs and their T2 fittings. What I want is more bang for my SP. If I have millions of SP dedicated to mining then what I pull in as a miner for my minerals ought to far outweigh anything that some mission runner, ratter, or part time miner who didnt even bother to skill up Bargers or Exhumers can do. Thats the point of this thread.
Sad news: SP aren't the be-all and end-all.
Now dry your eyes.
