Effective Hit Points mean nothing, and absolutely will not protect you from being ganked.
The Difference between almost all PvE ships to PvP ships is that PvE ships are active tanked and fit to max out resistances to damage types with local reps; PvP ships are fit out for max buffer to outlast chosen prey. It doesn't matter how hardcore your resists are or how efficient your deadspace/officer reppers are you can't withstand the alpha from a single or multiple alpha ships.
The other problem you face on Mining Vessels (this is based on playing around in EFT and not actual experience) but fitting out for buffer is almost impossible, even on an Orca, without sacrificing yield and efficiency; even the best tanks can be evaporated quickly by 1 or 2 Arty Ships.
Mining needs a change sure, but in the meantime its the easiest isk faucet in the game for new players or relatively inexperienced people and harbors very little risk; if mining is truly your 'deal' find a stable null entity and go amass minerals for the sov gods where its actually safer then Empire.

Seriously folks. Hull HP boost. And its DONE. What is so hard to understand about that?
Won't. Stop. Ganks.
It doesn't matter what you do to mining ships, it doesn't matter what you do to miners. People don't like you.
I don't know why people don't like miners or mining, aside from it being painstakingly dull, boring and a waste of
time; people just don't like you.
Gankers gonna gank. Plain and simple, and regardless as to how many ships they lose, how much sec status they lose,
or how much isk they throwaway- as soon as you even acknowledge that it happened, they win. The first evemail, the
first comment, the first badpost on these forums, the gankers have won. All your doing is pouring kerosene in an already
lit furnace.
With the new battlecruisers, CCP just made ganking cost about 60m; since the 'concorded no insurance payouts'
can be worked around (not that they really care anyway) they have practically encouraged the community to go on a gank-spree.
Stop your crying, winter is coming.
