I am wondering if it's possible that you could try null-sec moon mining, and null-sec asteroid mining. I really would like to know whether moving to null is worth that much more isk. PS: Keep up the videos, this is the first channel of it's kind with this kind of material, I like it a lot.
Orca works great for me. Mining is just one of my income streams, and since COVID lockdown and working from home full time, I now have EVE on my third monitor. I mine semi afk while in my 8 hour work day. Hi sec mining the same location for plag and making a steady 20 million per hour x 8 hours a day for the last six months. You only need to look over at local for reds and rats, and I only dock when there is a gang in system. Then, later in the evening I can do other things that require full attention.
I already plex for the entire year and just renew annually. Not a big deal. But like I said, if I’m already sitting in front of my computer for 8 hours a day working, might as well have it up on a third monitor. Can’t do that in the office so this is a silver lining for working from home orders due to COVID. With mineral changes coming soon, this mining model might not be as profitable anymore.
Orca Gud! Aside from solo mining, it can provide fleet support, do some minor hauling, super duper tanky if fit right, can do pve including the old emerging conduits solo, and I know one player that does PvP fights in Jita with it through suspect baiting. Its an amazing workhorse of a ship!
Its basically an all arounder! Lmao! I've always had a love for it ever since I first saw it. It can do anything. It should have a minor transformation I think by now. Like it should have a healing mode of some kind. Because I multi box mine with orcas and there should really be some bursts for drones. Even if that includes offensive, defensive and support capabilities.
I'd get rid of the low slot Reinforced Bulkhead. It adds a good amount of structure, but you take a big hit on the inertia modifier which makes this already slow brick take even longer to align and get into warp. The only thing slower is a Freighter. Also, adding a mid slot Drone Navigation Computer will help increase your drone max speed thereby speeding up your travel time between the roids and the ship. As always, always be align to something you can warp to like a station, or a structure you can dock at. My Augmented drones mine 333.05 m3 with a velocity of 1239.6 m/sec and a cycle time of 60 sec. Combine an Orca with a Hulk, and you've got an awesome mining combo.
Orca good been Afk mining using the orca for close for a month now been awesome. Love ur vids! Been following ur hypernet method and earning big iskies thanks!
Orca Bad! Seems like a huge investment of isk and training for the return. Red Carbone Love your videos! I've been in and out of game since 2004, and I always seem to learn something new from you. :)
Orca bad. I have tried many times, but i find the iph is horrible, and it never really works out that I afk, as constantly have to lock rocks, even with one drone per rock. In game tobecki
I use my Orca sometimes to harvest ice and mulitboxing with a second char in a Skiff - you can make around 30 M ISK per hour like this (All skills to 5) Orca alone - Orca bad Orca in a fleet - Orca good Ingame char "Cefeg G"
Orca for sure good (for me). I have trained all the skills and now can mine up to 187,500 m3 per trip. I put it on my side screen, always scan for Ore Anomalies to get some better ore, and mine away. I leave one Warrior II as sentry and use four mining drone II. This takes ~20% more time but I'm really doing this totally self sufficient approach where I am now building Orcas for resale. It's not quite perfect but I am steadily purchasing the BPOs for the Capital modules so that I can build more of it personally. I built the fit out so that I could tank/mine minor conduits which had the special ore and rarer minerals. I honestly don't calculate max cost/profit but as a PvE sidescreen operation I enjoy my personal cycle. Next up, though- figuring out what I need to do for Moon Mining..... BTW, my current fit runs ~205k EHP
Hey Greg, yea I can understand that and for semi AFK low ish risk its not a bad side venture for sure. Just trying to give people an idea of what they can expect so they dont waste time thinking it will make more than it does.
Orca good. Sometimes I like too semi afk mine after work while I read and that huge ore hold just makes it so its a good long while before I have to put my book down.
Orca in null is a death trap. Way to slow. For HS put a remote repper on it and use two per belt. Then if someone tries to gank you just rep your buddy until Concord arrives.
Orca was good, when the null ore was on 0.5 moons afk orca mining was amazing. But now it’s just not worth it unless you’ve already made your money back on the setup costs. Personally I find high sec ore mining is only profitable with 1 orca and various barges.
Orcas are awesome if you can afford one. Thing to do is MAX OUT done skills for small and mining drones. That and MAX OUT skills for the orca’s built in buffs. A tip for any miners; when you get into a belt and get mining make sure to “ Aline to” a point after you are set by your mining nodes. Then when things happen you can rabbit out of there and save precious seconds NEEDED to run before poping.
Orca good. Albeit slow to get in and out of station, with the right skills I feel like I spend less time docking/undocking for less ore than my Mackinaw.
Orca Good! Personally i think an orca goes best if paired with a Covetor, instead of 2x orcas, if you plan on multiboxing. this *Should* more than double what you make with a single orca, and decently higher than 2x orcas, but its also less AFK, which might be a dealbreaker.
Orca good! I use an Orca with a Procurer, 1hour 45 min mining Rich Plag. Azure Plag. and Plag, fill main ore hold and fleet hold, make approximately 42 mil. in high sec.
Orca Good, I've bee training into one for a bit now as a solid basis for indy! I have also seen some ganks pulled off with cloaky armor burst Orca's and a clever use of the ship maintenance bay!
Orca good. Being someone who enjoys spending hours mining, my biggest issue is having to run back all the time to unload my haul. I know there are other ways but having a ship that can hold as much as the Orca would just be perfect for my play style.
Orca good. Made new contacts while sitting in the belt, its a calm activity while doing other stuff. A welcome distraction from running LVL 4 missions all the time since Emerging Conduits got removed recently and shooting NPC ships all day long gets extremely boring after the first hundred missions or more... LOL (u know what i mean)
I have 6 HS orcas I move about with. They all have webs on them or a 500mn MWD to move about depending on if im in HS or LS depends on my fits and prowess. There should be multiple avenues for what you're doing in EVE lol CCP made mining harder but we will simply adapt as always lmao
@@anthonyzullo The Orca is a very versitile ship for sure. I was only talking about the "quick" 10 second warp by toggling the MWD on and off. With a higs you don't even need to face the direction you want to go. Alignment is based on mass and velocity. Higs lets you not be aligned all the time. As long as you are generally in the 90 degree angle.
Orca good, with smaller miners you spend more time having to deal with your small hold and will lose ships more often. Even though orca is way more expensive you can sit there for hours and your chances of losing it are super slim compared to the alternative. Also lasers you keep having to guess end of cycle to not waste time. With drones it doesn't matter too much since there are 5 and their cycle time is shorter.
The large shield ext are not worth it. IMO I have put 5 resist (1 EM, 2 multispec and 2 other of your choice). With the bulkhead and stuff I go over 400k. Ganker wont commit on something this tanky not while there is lot's more target out there. As for mining, I feel safer in a Orca versus my skiff.
looking to getting into hs mining, but can you find rocks that have some good ore in them? biggest ive found so far are about 10k m3 witch is terrible when you used to everything between 200-500k m3 in NS lol
Orca is always good if you like mining, but _solo_ mining with an Orca defeats the purpose. I'm sure you've seen lots of the comments, but having multiple accounts mining is where the Orca starts to shine. In addition, even when semi-AFKing, you need to move your Orca closer to the asteroids. I used to use two Orcas and I'd have them start either on opposite ends of the belts or put them in the middle and work outwards. Travel time is a key factor for your drones, so you want to be close to the rocks, which is why you saw diminishing returns as you mined. Unless you have several Orca accounts, you don't really AFK mine. Even the "semi-AFK" mining you should be able to see your screen. (I used to do laundry while mining.) For better profits, you would use mining barges on some alt accounts. Fits can be adjusted for play style and locations, but really, the only 'accurate' or good thing from this video was that you put a single drone on each rock. But seeing as how mining isn't your thing, that's understandable. I would say of all your videos I have watched, this one is the only one I recall where I disagree with your methods and conclusion. Keep putting out great videos for us!
Before the changes afk mining was quite profitable, in high sec on an arkanor moon, 4 tech 2 drones out and a medium drone for the rats, would go to work and would have a full hold at break time. that on 3 toons.. Not lost an orca thus far. But I can imagine you will get bumped or ganked if you fly around with augmented ones. I have flown round belts with my bumpy Machariel on a neutral alt and bumped orcas of my corp buddies just to steal their augmented drones and sell them back to them. After the changes and there is no such thing as afk orca mining, rocks have become too small. I now do combat sites in null to get my isk, via bounty rewards and ESS payouts and after a few weeks the salvage and loot have become rather profitable to sell off at Amarr prices in the newbro areas. I still do some mining, but have kind of dedicated my time to Lowsec gate camping. Quite a bit of banter on Teamspeak and now and then a Faction fit Nightmare that obviously should have scouted ahead.
Read aloud to yourself what you just wrote.. lol and people wonder why their exists an entire alliance solely dedicated to ganking miners lol FRESH MEAT x'D
Yeah it is much better to take out a Skiff or Hulk. They are 10x cheaper and you lose less when people inevitably blow up your ship and your drones. The mining quantity is about the same. (Orcas are normally used as support mining ships for on-field compression with mining crews) If you actually want to mine you need a Rorqual, but that is for Null-sec and wormholes.
Orca good i am plexing my account with mining a o.5 hi sec system with a porpoise 5 jumps from a trade hub but we do ice mining also so would be good for fleet ops for this
currently working from home (thanks covid). I just have my account open and have my orca in a belt. So while I work I gain roughly 100mil. I can't play actively, so it is just easy isk.
But you missed one of the selling points of an orca! You should try this again, but mine till full, THEN run the calculations. 150k m3 ore hold is not something to sneeze at, and you had just over 81k in the run on this video.
@@strange_Net I agree with Myron, Id love to see an update of this with the porpoise. The orca is a very expensive ship with a small isk per hour return. The cheaper porpoise might flip this equation though.
I think its Recon 1 of 3's second room that has 4M units of Veldspar in a pretty dense cluster. I have an alt with an orca and a MWD, very safe and Veld does pretty good as far as highsec isk/h. Its a good option for an alt account, if you already have the orca for other purposes. As far as doing this as a primary source of income, nah not a good use of time.
Orca Good! I do 5 Orcas, 5 accounts super AFK...but not really I go thru a belt in about an hour and half netting around 160M per hour depending on the density of the rocks
Orcas arent good...they are GREAT. The yield they do is fine, you just need to mine the right stuff, their EHP is fine..people just need to fit and tank them correctly and they wont get ganked. They are awesum AFK machines. They are OP imho..and thats why i use them. Since the ore nerfs..yeah they not 'super awesum' any more but the ship itself is fine and still very good at what it does..afk mine. I've got my setup and it great. If you cant plex accounts off afk orca mining, you doing sum thing wrong
Orca good. I mine in High Sec to relax and I never AFK. There are faster ways to earn more isk in High Sec but I am playing a game not working at a second job. I want to be a miner/industrialist. My character's name is Xandrew Montenegro. Fly safe.
Wish they would ban Orcas from high sec. Just go to the ice belt in Ordion and there is a fleet of at least 10 from the same corp (DBUS - Don't Bother Us] afk/bot mining every time the belt is up. Posting this in the feint hope someone from CODE gets hold of it and sends a squad to take them out :D
Orca good! Im aiming to get one as soon as I can afford it. Might be better for ice mining in hisec though, but the one time i went ice mining in a retriever I got ganked so not too sure, havent tried again since :P
Orca - BAD. However a Porpoise with just T2 drones semi afk tanky fit, pretty good. A lot cheaper so it pays for itself quicker has a decent hold on it. Check it every 30min or so to kill off rats, as that's what shows your afk mining painting a kill it on your skin. KalScan. At least I use it when working on my PI, Setting up for a T2 build, general shooting of shit, ect..
Meh when i compare this with hunting NPC haulers i can get from only selling strongboxes in average when i am Lazy 100 mil per hour maybe more if u doing it properly :)
Orca bad. There is no good money in this, and it would take a very long time to just make your investment back.
I am wondering if it's possible that you could try null-sec moon mining, and null-sec asteroid mining. I really would like to know whether moving to null is worth that much more isk. PS: Keep up the videos, this is the first channel of it's kind with this kind of material, I like it a lot.

Then your drones become much more viable.

@@trumpsextratesticle8590 moved to null...around 1.6B lol
Orcas arent good...they are GREAT. The yield they do is fine, you just need to mine the right stuff, their EHP is fine..people just need to fit and tank them correctly and they wont get ganked. They are awesum AFK machines. They are OP imho..and thats why i use them. Since the ore nerfs..yeah they not 'super awesum' any more but the ship itself is fine and still very good at what it does..afk mine.
I've got my setup and it great. If you cant plex accounts off afk orca mining, you doing sum thing wrong
if you're gonna do afk hi-sec orca you gotta do ice.
All I use orca for is boosting and hauling and 3 t2 miners
Orca good, my corp of me & 4 buds figure it would be a boon to get us into a profitable, though small, fleet
Orca idk, because I don't play EVE Online currently
Orca good.
I mine in High Sec to relax and I never AFK.
There are faster ways to earn more isk in High Sec but I am playing a game not working at a second job.
I want to be a miner/industrialist.
My character's name is Xandrew Montenegro.
Fly safe.
But isnt people just ganking orcas in the high sec with no remorse?
Orca good need the isk it would produce
Orca good. have the skills but not the ship yet.
I'm training for an Orca in high sec, it should be fun.
Wish they would ban Orcas from high sec. Just go to the ice belt in Ordion and there is a fleet of at least 10 from the same corp (DBUS - Don't Bother Us] afk/bot mining every time the belt is up. Posting this in the feint hope someone from CODE gets hold of it and sends a squad to take them out :D
just train into flying one youself instead of complain lol
Orca good but only for starting players I believe or multiple characters. Losttitanx
How do people mine in HS, let alone AFK mine?! O_O
What do you mean how do people mine in HS?
Orca Good for PvP! [Bracker Morde]
Orca good, i know a few gatecampers that will afk mine at the same time to plex the accounts and have a little fun money left over
Orca good - IF you combine it with other passive forms. This method of isk making should not be considered a standard for the average player.
Orca good! Im aiming to get one as soon as I can afford it. Might be better for ice mining in hisec though, but the one time i went ice mining in a retriever I got ganked so not too sure, havent tried again since :P
2 billion for a orca, drones 35 million each, not good at all for solo mining. Stick to fleet support.
orca good
Zack Korth is my eve character lol
Orca - BAD. However a Porpoise with just T2 drones semi afk tanky fit, pretty good. A lot cheaper so it pays for itself quicker has a decent hold on it. Check it every 30min or so to kill off rats, as that's what shows your afk mining painting a kill it on your skin. KalScan.
At least I use it when working on my PI, Setting up for a T2 build, general shooting of shit, ect..
Oh yeah, I don't do it for isk per hour, it's just passive ore, my version of ship spinning.
Orca good (for hauling)
Orca bad :( I tried it myself and it is of course very tedious and not worth the initial investment.
Orca good!!!
Orca Good!
Meh when i compare this with hunting NPC haulers i can get from only selling strongboxes in average when i am Lazy 100 mil per hour maybe more if u doing it properly :)
Orca is good but for fleet
Orca great
Orca good :) ASAP i will get one!
Omg dont put shield extenders on an orca... orca base shields are so high you need to go full resistances + 500mn mwd or you deserve the gank you get
Orca bad, I was going to train for it but not after watching your video. Ruben Rios22
Orca bad! As a newish player, I would not be willing to risk that investment on an afk endeavor.
