## Summary
The Hulk has the greatest yield out of all the exhumers, but at the cost of the lowest tank and smallest mining hold. As a result, it is best to use the Hulk with fleet support so as to mitigate its weaknesses and allow you to leverage its superior extraction rate. A tank can be fitted, but it is still possible to gank even a maxed Hulk for profit with the correct ship in some areas of highsec, although it's more than able to handle most NPC rats.
## Skills
Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Hulk for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.
## Tactics
Due to how vulnerable and cumbersome the exhumers are, it is ill-advised to travel between stargates in lowsec in one, as they make for very juicy targets. Instead, a good idea is to transport your Hulk packaged in a hauler, which raises less (albeit still some) suspicion. A Badger, even at base skills, has a capacity of 3,900, allowing it to carry a packaged mining frigate, barge, and even an exhumer, and still have enough cargo space for its modules, can perform the cloak trick, and when designed well, can align in under 6 seconds. Beware however, that when packaging a ship, all its rigs are destroyed, so either use cheap Tech I rigs or design your ship around not using them. #
## Travel Fit
The , like its T1 cousin the , has the fastest align-time of the Exhumers. With inertial stabilizers and decent skills, it can enter warp in under 5 seconds. With an attentive pilot, the Hulk can realistically use a travel fit to travel in low sec space using the Cloak Trick, and with top skills, skill implants and a proper travel fitting, it can even use the Cloak Trick using only an Afterburner instead of a Microwarp Drive, which allows it to enter warp even faster than with a MWD by about 2 seconds. Overheating the Afterburner makes high skills and implants less necessary -- just be sure to bring plenty of nanite repair paste especially if you are travelling far from stations with repair services. Whenever harvesting resources in a potentially dangerous system without any accessible stations, it's a good idea to have a strong Safe Spot, and to carry around at least 2 mobile depots, one of which you leave at the safe spot to warp back to in order to refit to a travel fit as necessary.
