I'm sure maybe some of you have thought of this before, and I'm not talking about the Rorqual or Orca. Also, yes I know there's the Hulk and a fleet of 10+ Hulks can devour belts in less than 3 hours.
However, what if there was an actual Capital mining ship?
I imagine its stats would resemble, at most, a Dreadnought class using 3 Capital strip miners and a monstrous cargo bay but never going any faster than 50 m/s or less (due to its godly cargo bay, mass and on-board electronics to accommodate the Cap strippers). And maybe, just maybe, it could also fit a module similar to Dreadnought Siege modules, but for mining instead. Activated to immobilize itself and all that, it triples the yield on the strippers and/or causes the strip lasers to arc into adjacent asteroids and mine them simultaneously.
Largely I thought of this as a high-speed solution to nullsec corporations that are unable to get respectable Hulk fleets to mine fast enough or if they're in unfriendly territory and Hulking the belts attracts enemies (not that this one wouldn't).

No we dont need any ship to mine anything faster. though it seems good on paper you have to remember that these nullsec alliances you want to help would be able to mine more then currently. this means more ships to the point where they are near free. inb4 100mil super caps.
if nullsec alliances need to get supplies use a jump freighter, or escort a chain of large normal freighter for some nice logistics.

If the supercap actually required attention mining (as in: lolwut no afk mining with 10 chars?!1?!11), it could maybe work.
However, it'll be a cold day in hell before CCP *EVER* does *ANYTHING* to make mining just a SLIGHT bit more interesting. ------------ "I've yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet." - Heavy Weapons Guy |

QFT; Further increasing the yield when profits are already low due to supply saturation is not a good idea. cc:Ben Bernanke

Mining dreadnought that can drag entire asteroids into its cargo bay using tractor beams, and then strip them internally.
Make it happen ccp.
I mean I'd never use it because mining makes me want to shoot myself, but make it anyway.

They need to fix the issues involved with mining before they ever introduce new mining vessels. They can start by making mining a more involved experience that requires actual interaction too complex for people to use bots on.

Supply saturation comes from the fact that it's so easy to mine bots are used for probably 70+% of all the mining done in game.
Giving them a faster ship would be awful, the whole mining system needs to be redone first (we might see it in 18 years).
