Mining in a frigate can become frustrating with their low yield and limited cargo space. Cruisers provide the logical next step with both a higher yield, and increased cargo capacity. The following cruisers come with a mining bonus to either lasers or drones.  Pilots should note that while the Amarr and Gallente ships get a bonus to mining drone yield this is offset by the small cargo capacity and travel time penalty of using mining drones. Overall, the Caldari and Minmatar mining cruisers are a better choice though they may require [[Skills:Electronics#Electronics|Electronics V]] and a [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Co-Processor_I Co-Processor I] or two to fit an array of [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Miner_II Miner II] lasers.

''The Mackinaw is the medium-sized version of the second generation of mining vessels created by the ORE Syndicate. Exhumers, like their mining barge cousins, are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining modules. They are also far more resilient, better able to handle the dangers of deep space. The Mackinaw is a speciality vessel, ideally suited for ice mining.''

The Mackinaw is the second Exhumer and requires [[Skills:Spaceship Command#Exhumer|Exhumer II]] to fly. It has been designed to specifically mine ice asteroids. The role bonus means that as you complete a mining cycle, you will receive two pieces of ice instead of one, but will the cycle time will take 25% longer. The Exhumers skill bonus reduces this penalty.

The Hulk is the largest of the mining exhumers (requiring [[Skills:Spaceship Command#Exhumer|Exhumer III]] to fly) and is arguably the best mining ship a new player can get. (If you want an interesting conversation just ask in the industry chat about using capital ships for mining!) With 3 strip miners, a large 8000m3 cargo bay and a large enough drone bay to store 5 light drones as well as 5 mining drones, the Hulk is an amazing piece of machinery that is designed for maximum mining yield.

===Rorqual===
===Rorqual===
The [http://eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Rorqual Rorqual] is a capital version of the Orca, and is generally only seen in nullsec. As well as fielding similar bonuses to the Orca, it can carry a mining fleet to their destination and compress ore to make it easier to haul. Often, though, the Rorqual is seen as too risky to deploy in an asteroid belt and is set up within a POS shield instead; miners still get the bonuses and ore compression, and most pilots see this as a worthwhile tradeoff.
