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 Hulk's being mining yield and mining laser range. The additional yield comes at a price, as the Hulk has weaker defenses and a smaller ore bay than the other exhumers.
Exhumers are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules.

Efficiency is what separates an amateur from an entrepreneur.
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.
