Hulkageddon doesn't seem to have much effect on mineral prices, mostly it seems to pump up the prices for Hulks

Welp, hulkageddon is in the bag. Noticed a LOT more system traffic (industrials, transports) today. :P
And the retrievers are definitely a huge improvement over Ospreys. Much less micromanagement and range on the miners is very nice.

Wait until you finally get your Exhumers, you'll be seriously impressed
It just takes AGGGEEEESSSSS! to get Exhumers. Another 3/4 weeks for me. But then i will have 9 Mackinaws for Ice Mining phase 1! Will prob leave them as Ice miners while I train up the other skills for max mining. Will eventually have 9 hulks, an Orca and a Dominix to control all the drones for rats (drone assist makes things interesting
)
Yeah skilling up for ice before ore is well worth doing, it's much quicker to be an ice miner than an ore miner
Edit - I wrote 'ice ming' when posting, which reminded me of this (NSFW!): http://oglaf.com/snowqueen/

I'm not going to mine until next week, if you look in the HAG4 channel people are still in highsec targetting miners.

Can your guys fit a decent tank, that seems to make a difference - not in that you can't be ganked but more in that they'll choose the easiest target
OK, question for you folks: I'm using a Badger 2 for transporting of ore from mining site to base at the moment.
[edit] I'm looking at a Bustard as my next hauler option. Is that the best route since I'm already heavily into Caldari Industrial? As a follow-up, what's the preferred hauler I'd want to look at after that assuming I didn't want to bother with an orca?
[edit] Obviously, this guy will just be a dedicated ore ferry for my 4 miners.

Deep Space Transport is kind of a dead end for ore hauling.
The only things with bigger cargo holds are capital ships like the Orca, freighters, carriers and so on. Of those only the Orca and freighters can be used in hisec, and only the Orca can open a can (freighters can't access cans AFAIK).
So that's it, for ferrying ore in hisec the Orca is the only option that's bigger than a deep space transport. If you go lowsec/nullsec you could use a carrier or a Rorqual instead - but watch out for pirates!
Bestower (Amarr) is second best and the least skill intensive hauler. With all the upgrades on it you can get 26k m3.Originally Posted by Ughmahedhurtz
The Iteron V (Gallente) is the best hauler. Gets ~50k m3 with all upgrades. After that, as said before, the Orca is on the top.
I'm actually training for my Iteron V right now on my Amarr character, even though I already have a Bestower. Good to have an Iteron V laying around, even if you have an Orca.
I'm going to get a freighter just for shits and giggles, in case I want to haul a large amount of ore or minerals somewhere.
