The exhumer is the second generation of mining vessels created by ORE. Exhumers, like their mining barge cousins, were each created to excel at a specific function, the Mackinaw's being storage. Although it only has space to fit two mining or ice harvesting modules, a fast loading system allows those two module to do the work of three modules. Exhumers are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Mackinaw has the largest ore bay of the Exhumers, which makes it ideal for solo operations, but sacrifices some tank and yield.

- If you have the skills trained up, you can swap the Strip Miners I's out for their T2 alternatives. This will free enough CPU up to add an LSE in the last Mid slot.
- This fit provides plenty of defence for high sec, solo mining, and with three MLU's there is plenty of yield on those lasers as well.

- If you mine ice often, then it's worthwhile to train up to T2 Ice Miners for a significant boost in yield.
- This fit is the fastest possible ice harvester, but doesn't have room for a significant tank and needs Electronics and Mining Upgrades trained to 5. Between the ship's naturally good T2 resists and the surprisingly effective civilian boosters, though, it should tank hisec rats fine, and you can create a balance between this and the previous fit depending on the situation.
- The Cargohold Optimisation rigs of past fits are no longer beneficial to the Ore Hold (introduced in Inferno 1.2). Rig slots are now available for other purposes (e.g. Defence).
