well, may be you forgot, but people do mine on missions in highsec and there definitelly battleship spawns, that kill ordinary hulks in seconds.
May I inquire how many missions you have mined in highsec? If you truly can answer with a number above 0 to the question then follow up question: Have you ever considered clearing the rats from the mission first before bringing in exhumer/barge?
If you on the other hand answered either question no - let me tell you.
After you kill rats from mission in highsec and hit the roids with your miner of choice - biggest respawns you see on the "field" is regular frig rats that spawn on regular highsec belts too. No bigger, no badder.

It has bonuses for range and speed of tractors. What for you need such bonuses rather then to drag the wrecks to you for loot/salvage?
It is not a salvage/loot ship for missions. It is mining support ship for mining gangs. Notice the plural. Not every exhumer/barge is next to each other in belt. Orca just sits there and when miner reports his/her can full, orca can just grab a target to it and pull it next to him/herself from distance with speed.

Mining Barge V <---- is this a TII ship ??
No. Mining Barge is tech1 ship skill. Your fetching for exhumer skill which is tech2 ship skill.

Astrogeology III <---- makes sense due to the scanning capability
No it doesnt make sense, again - astrometrics is the skill affecting scanning. Astrogeology is prereq for mining barge skill.

Industry V <---- errr why ? its not like its doing any industrial task
Oh boy.. Do you know anything about skills? Again, above skills are prereqs for Mining Barge skill.

Now, after reaching the end of the thread..
It seems that cargohold is what irks most people (me too).. I would love to see bigger (but restricted only to ore) cargohold.. If you need to ferry something else with this _mining command ship_, use the limited corp hangar you're given..
If we take a look into this fantasy some call real life, there too is machines designed purely for transfering crap loads of rocks/earth and they are quite inefficient at transfering something else..
