Problem is not the hulk or the mack, it that CCP does nothing or very little about the macro / farmer problem.
Also, the t2 mining ships lack any tank what so ever. A Geddon with smarties can gank any exhumer fully tanked with hardners and rigs before concord ever shows.
These problems can be addressed with new variations of exhumers or t2 mining ships.
I mine a lot, and the biggest issue is giant secue cans are NOT giant enough.
Also, the Orca along with the rest of the ORE ships would be much better if the Bpo's were in safe space instead of some total war zone we call Cloud Ring.
Basically give miners more tools for their tool box, stop limiting them and making them easy kills.

Actually, we do NOT need the macro population at all. Problem is they ore / ice from real players and turn it into isk for sale. Which last I checked is illegal.
These macros actually depress mineral prices, forcing people who would cash mine to find other avenues for isk.
So, Mr. Day Trading you have looked at the situation all wrong.
Isk from mining would more valuable if they were actually policed better by CCP, but CCP would loose real money doing so and their precios server population would drop in a big way doing so. Its all about real life money.
Back, to the subject, give us the Orca, just make it cool pls.

best idea I have seen for new mining ship was a tech 2 BS made especially for mining...Same yield as hulk, but with better "defense". Pricy as Maradurer, but gank survive the typical "high sec." Smartie GankaGeddon.
Would at least at a new flavor of mining ships

Remove macro / farmers who sell isk made via mining and then AND only then will minerals come back up. T1 loot removal will not cause massive change.
And yes I have read all threads on t1 removal, none are convincing arguments minus o.o miners will benefit.
Not to mention, its a valid profession. Trader, yeah I know, its okay to destroy one profession so yours gets better :P

IF capital mining ship is ever created, I don't think CCP would be stupid enough to let in HIGH sec. to be honest. Its like having a titan in Jita and the guy popping his DD at Jita 4/4 for sh*ts and giggles

 Originally by: dust queen
what useful niche would the orca fill for high-sec industrial corps, while not overlapping on the rorqual's turf?
the orca as a means of compressing low-end ores in the belts and dragging the cans would be nice for high-sec miners, as it would make it easier to ship low-end mins to places where they're more profitable and cut out the need for haulers. it would require human intervention to man it, so it (hopefully) couldn't be run on a macro. then again, this would pretty much defeat the purpose of the rorqual for many 0.0 pilots, as you could just use a bridge network to move it around and use it in a pos to keep it safe. maybe limit it to only low-end ore compression?
i saw some pix a few months back of compressed ore containers. maybe use the orca to fill these up, and make them transportable only by freighter or jump freighter?
Basically, High Sec miners would compress "ore" for null / low sec. buyers who don't want to mine that type of ore themselves, but need that ore for its minerals (think about Veld, how many miners below 0.4 actually mine it  ).
The Orca will be a good addition if implemented "correctly" and the bpo is not seeded deep in 0.0 due its "empire" ship. I say this, cause currently any ORE bpos are only availabe deep in 0.0, which is funny, considering all the major users are High Sec. .... Yeah go figure  
EVE, its not a job its a adventure in NERFs and BUFFs
