Development 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 Skiff's being durability. With that in mind, the designers could only make space to fit one mining or ice harvesting module. To mitigate the effect this would have on its mining output, they came up with a unique loading system that allows this one module to work at triple efficiency. Exhumers are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules.
SHIP BONUSES
Mining Barge bonuses (per skill level): 5% bonus to ship shield hitpoints 2% reduction in Strip Miner and Ice Harvester duration Exhumers bonuses (per skill level): 4% bonus to all shield resistances 2% reduction in Strip Miner and Ice Harvester duration Role Bonus: 50% bonus to drone damage and hitpoints
Base Time to Warp is essentially the time needed for this ship to align and accelerate until it reaches 75% of its top speed and goes to warp. The time displayed here is the base calculated time with no account for any warp related skills, modules or any other effects.

Summary
The Skiff is the toughest of the Exhumers without any modules, and becomes as tough if not tougher then many battleships when fully fitted and skilled. However, the skiff sacrifices yield and some some ore hold to do this. Therefore, the skiff should be used when under the threat of being ganked or when having to operate under heavy NPC fire. When fitted out correctly, it is impossible to make a profit from suicide ganking a skiff, which should deter all but the most determined people from attacking you in high sec.
