I saw this today in the patch note

Skiff
Special bonus allows its 2 mining turrets to have the output of 3 mining turrets

Mackinaw
Special bonus allows its 2 mining turrets to have the output of 3 mining turrets

Does anyone know what it mean ?
How will you get this "special bonus" ?

It's built into the ship.

The differences in yield will be much smaller now, making all mining ships more usable, especially procurer.

Check out this thread for more info:

It's pretty much just a hack they did so they wouldn't need to edit the ships and add a 3rd high slot.

The goal with all the mining barges/exhumers is to make them more situation specific instead of job specific as well has all having a similar degree of mining yield. Hulk is still the best yield wise but now retrievers, skiffs etc have an increased yield compared to the current versions, with a focus more on the situation you would use them in. For example the skiff is great for null mining now with a good tank and +2 warp strength. Mackinaw is still great for ice mining, but it's also great for mining ores etc. etc.

But yeah, the increase in yield is just a work around from having to add the additional hard point
