== Skiff ==

Being the Tech II version of the [[#Procurer|Procurer]], the Skiff naturally has the most impressive tank out of the three Exhumers by quite a large margin; with proper fitting, it can have battleship-level [[EHP]]. Its higher speed (more than twice as fast as the Hulk or the Mackinaw) also allows it to effectively use Afterburner modules to further complicate matters for any would-be gankers. On the downside, it has the lowest yield of any of the three Exhumers (20-30% lower than a Hulk) and only a medium-sized mining hold (large enough for about 15 minutes' worth of mined ore). However, its rock-hard tank makes it the ship of choice for mining in lower-security regions of high security space (0.5 and 0.6 security), or just for general peace of mind.

== Hulk ==

Being the Tech II version of the [[#Covetor|Covetor]], the Hulk impresses with the highest yield of all the Exhumers and little else. Its tank is nothing to write home about, with even the most heavily tanked fits succumbing to two dedicated [[Suicide Gank|suicide gankers]] flying [[Catalyst]]s (which together cost less than 10% of the Hulk). When mining unsupported, the Hulk's enormous yield will fill its small mining hold in about five minutes, requiring frequent runs back to a station to drop off the ore (which will offset any yield gains made compared to its cousins).

However, if flying in a fleet with a trustworthy [[Orca]] or [[Rorqual]] pilot, all of the Hulk's disadvantages are negated, as the Hulk pilot can use the Orca's enormous fleet hangar for ore storage, and store her precious Hulk in the Orca's Ship Maintenance Bay at the first sign of trouble, making the Hulk the Tech II barge of choice for use in medium-to-large-scale fleet mining operations.

== Mackinaw ==

As the Tech II upgrade to the [[#Retriever|Retriever]], the Mackinaw sports a truly massive mining hold (35,000 m<sup>3</sup> at {{sk|Mining Barge|V}}, enough to hold half an hour's worth of mined ore) and a yield that is only about 15% lower than that of a Hulk. While its tank is about 40% stronger than that of a Hulk, it's still rather flimsy when compared with its price tag. Therefore, the Mackinaw is mostly used in the high-end of high-security space (0.8 security and above), and even then some pilots prefer flying a the Skiff for its near-invulnerability to suicide ganks.
