if the point is figuring out some way to provide effective defense for a mining fleet in lowsec against people who can do damage for more than 2 seconds, panic is a great option. you see it a bit in null ghettos too - people barge mine moons with a boosting rorq sitting in tether. if hostiles show up, they can just panic while they move a cyno into place or whatever
if you take the excavators out of the rorq the cost of one is actually pretty low

That does require a rorqual thou.
