The Hulk and Mackinaw are the best ice mining ships; choosing between them is a matter of preference and situation.

'''Ice Output'''

'''Ice Output'''<br>

This is an easy one to answer: the Mackinaw produces more ice per minute then the hulk can. This is down to the fact that it has a 100% yield bonus so for every cycle you receive 4 pieces of ice instead of three.

'''Cargo Space'''

'''Cargo Space'''<br>

The hulk is capable of holding at least 8 pieces of ice compared to the ~~mackinaw’s~~ 6, so the hulk can stay out longer before having to return to that station if solo mining.

'''Survivability'''

'''Survivability''' <br>

While most ice mining is done in hisec, suicide gankers often see the AFK nature of ice miners as an advantage. In ~~hulkageddon~~ 3, the systems with most casualties were Nakugard, Oppold and Eygfe: all systems with ice belts. The ~~hulk~~ has an increased chance of surviving a ganker attack then the ~~mackinaw~~ does.

In Hulkageddon 3, the systems with most casualties were Nakugard, Oppold and Eygfe: all systems with ice belts. The Hulk has an greatly increased chance of surviving a ganker attack then the Mackinaw does; the Mackinaw has very limited CPU and has to reduce its yield significantly to fit a decent tank.

'''Price'''

'''Price'''<br>

Most dedicated miners will own a Hulk for high-yield mining, so frequently the Mackinaw is bought as a second ship dedicated to ice mining, and as such significantly increases purchase costs compared to using the Hulk.
