I would use Faction Heavies for better tracking.
Since you'r spending 1.1b per excavator (Jita Price today) the cost of f-Heavies is quite low.

The question you have to ask is what is the real cost of those drones? When I checked yesterday those drones had dropped a tonne so there must be a lot of Fat in them still. (Edit never mind looks like I was smoking crack or they went back up)

Regarding the fit, i'm assuming (given the Cyno) that you are hoping to live for a while and get support.

Also you might want to look at Geckos, they are not that expensive and are by far the best heavy drone.

Maybe drop in a DC2 as that will increase you tank a fair bit (4 DDA have a lot of stacking penalties) and you could also look at a Omni as heavies cant track frigs for ****.

With T2 ogres, I get something like 1100 dps with my skills. With augmented ogres, it rises to ~1180 or so. With 2 Geckos and the rest augmented drones, it's something like 1240.

The thing with Geckos is that they are as fast as Berserkers/Tracking with the DPS of Ogres. Also Omni damage.

It would be a shame to field a capital ship with t2 tank. Bling that up a bit. You can do a lot better at a fraction of the cost of the ship.

You're going to want at least one large smartbomb to deal with hostile drones. Two may be better.

I'd consider a Damage Control or a drone tracking enhancer instead of a fourth drone damage mod.

Otherwise, it looks like a fine fit for a ridiculously expensive mining ship.
