As an industrialist I fly the orca nearly every day. With a MWD I can warp in 10 seconds and with the effective hit points I can tank it out to have more than a bulkhead fit frieghter. And of course when im not carrying precious cargo I am mining in it. I
The shield and ehp is nice against the new pain in the backside Damaviks, 5 of them brought my shield down to 48% on the orca, and i loose drones like mad now :(
@@BerraLJ my boss flew one of these when we had our little Highsec region invaded. And it was my combat drones+procurer, plus her combat drones, and she was sitting there boosting my shield remotely. I hate Triggles.
When I was working at home I would semi-afk orca mine on a second monitor. I don't remember much other than I put 5x meta small shield transporters in the highs, bulkhead and DC in the lows, and a bunch of cap stuff in the mids. Target each mining drone with a shield transporter. I can't remember if I could fit a small shield booster on my orca or not, but I only had to check in on it when I heard that the asteroid had been depleted.
Nice fit, however if you're only mining in high sec I'd use shield extenders rather then booster. If someone's going to try and gank you they rely on alpha damage so you wouldn't get many reps off.
The Orca is a great ship, we even got some PvP bait kills with it. Hi-sec Ice mining is the only time I would ever think about using it solo though. Even with drone skills it takes forever to fill all its holds not just the ore hold. The ship shines when boosting other miners. I dual account so my FC toon does max boost in Orca and runs miner2s with my hulk doing strip 2s and med combat drones. The Orca can hold 2 exhumers in the ship bay or a few mining frigs or a defense cruiser and Hulk (nice small ship carrier). I meet it with my scout frigate and switch to hulk in the field. My Orca holds about 282k m3 and I can completely fill it in less than an hour with my Hulk and the Orcas drones. I just set my Orca pilot to keep 2K distance from my Hulk so I dump directly to it but I rarely have to move with max boosts. For the tank you can get around 323K EHP and faster warp align times if you ditch the reinforced bulkhead which slows you down. I use an Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane and Damage control for the lows. Use EM/Therm/Invuln/Invuln and large shield extender for mids. You will have a very strong omni buffer tank with well rounded out resistances across the board on all levels. I use large cargo expansion rigs to extend the cargo instead of the drone rigs in mine. If you swap the cargo rigs for structure HP rigs with my setup the tank is insane and requires a suicide gank fleet that is worth more than the Orca to kill it before concord kills them. Pack a couple inertial stabilizers to fit when you are moving long distances to align faster or have a fleet-mate web you as you pass ~55% speed when aligning and you slingshot into warp faster.
Hi Voxxel, Pretty sure this was moon ore so you will need to find a refinery drilling a moon and figure out when the asteroids will be produced. That's high sec they can be found in null and low aswell in some normal belts. There are more valuable ores it just depends on whats selling high at the time tbh but most super expensive ores are in null and WH space. Hope that helps :)
It used to. I'm not sure what's going on with the market prices for these at the moment but I think they are now around 500 mil so if you want one get one now lol
I just got one of these for my alt last night(who now has far more experience and money the my 'main' go figure). With drone skills, this thing does mine respectably fast. And even though it's not as fast at mining as a boosted Covetor or even my Procurer, it's Plenty fast enough. If you're in an area where the Belts/Ice fields are far away from base, there's quite a bit of time when you're just in warp. This doesn't even account for Multiboxing (I don't do it, but my corp boss does) which this thing makes pretty easy to do.
Retriever has good staying power with biggest hold but low tank and kinda low mining yield. Coverter has best mining yield possibilities but you will be in warp a lot back and fourth to station as small ore hold and procurer is a nice middle ground. Just my opinion/experience. I have a comparison video up in the mini mining series playlist. Should check it out :)
@@DisownedHero ok thanks I may go for the procurer then one I get my bank balance up again I will also watch you mining vid also thanks again for these really helpful hints and tips I watch markee dragon but his ones get a little complicated sometimes so its great to be shown step by step what all the option are.

@@PI_Joe_Mama Thanks for your info on that, I will look into the proc and skiff for what I need and obviously ive got the isk for either of them its been over year since I last played
Orca is a nice ship, but more often tend to mine in the Porpoise, filling up the 60k ore hold i am still not insanely bored :) But Rorqual ohh my 8k m3 per cycle and 5b value, at least that keeps you on your toes in low sec, but the 300k ore hold is nice and being able to use compress when industrial core is running is sweet.
I have heard stories about them being destroyed but honestly I have never experienced this or had anyone in our Corp mention that this has happened iether
Double box with a covetor in high sec and you can make some decent isk. Drone skills are super important, If I remember correctly using t2 mining drones my yield is way larger than yours. I want to say it’s around 230 per drone per cycle.
some data of a fairly fitted mastery 5 mining orca and perfect drone skills (+ aug. mineing drones) : 27,75 m³ per sec. "rounded" 1665,25 m³ per minute. orehold of 187500 m³ that fills up in 1,87 h under perfect conditions dronetraveltime does impact this, so better hug the rocks.
hi there a couple of things You were talking about dropping into the ore hold its actually the 40000 m3 fleet hanger that corp or fleet drop into or take out from you then transfer from it to the main or ore holds i have mainly retired my Orca's from mining unless boosting / moon mining or in the area i do production as its a pain moving around an ore field . Now i manly use skiffs and pure shield fit Orca to transport me around a maxed out ice skiff using an augmented ice mining drone as well will mine the same if not slightly better even taking drop off times than an orca in high sec in a skiff the rats wont realy scratch the paint . For pure factory farm mining starting at one end of a belt and mining every thing nothing realy beats an orca as between the ore /main and fleet hold you can fit 260000 m3 of ore but if you want one specific ore use something else the last time i ran the numbers for an orca was when i was in your corp and sitting right on a moon rock i was getting about 90000 m3 per hour but that drops significantly with any distance as mining drones fly slow a good cheep fit to get there safely in highsec just change the shield boosts and cloak for Mining Foreman Burst II and bursts Carry a mobile bace and when you land on a field swap out and put in a scanner in a mid Damage Control II Reinforced Bulkheads II Thermal Dissipation Amplifier II Adaptive Invulnerability Field II 500MN Quad LiF Restrained Microwarpdrive Adaptive Invulnerability Field II EM Ward Field II Improved Cloaking Device II Salvager I Small Tractor Beam II Small Tractor Beam II Shield Command Burst I Shield Command Burst I Large Drone Mining Augmentor II Large Drone Mining Augmentor II Large Drone Mining Augmentor I Mining Drone II x5 'Augmented' Mining Drone x5 'Integrated' Hobgoblin x5 Salvage Drone I x5 Hobgoblin II x5 Vespa EC-600 x5 Hornet EC-300 x5 Shield Extension Charge x300 Shield Harmonizing Charge x300
Lots of good bits of info in there matey. Very helpful. I have also stole your fit and will test it out :) What do you mean "was" in your Corp? What happened man? Come back lol
@@relytlirpa That's one way to do it. If you want to do it purely with in-game effort, get a cheaper barge, and spend about a month mining while doing other stuff. Spod is ridiculously profitable if you know anyone with an Athanor you can mine at. I blew about a billion isk in Jita yesterday, all mining while watching TV, lol.
Believe it or not a maxed out orca using the best of the best implants, mods ect will mine ice faster than anything in the game. I had the same response when someone mentioned it a while back but after running the math it was right
@@DisownedHero you never tried the rorqual I guess. Or hulk under rorqual boost. You have very low knowledge of the game, don't make assumptions like that mate
Yes he did, and you can get bare bones training in about 23 days, and 1100 plex will cover the orca, skill injectors, skill books if needed, and fittings
you ppl need to stop being bad and get good Orca is good for what it does but its not the king if mining the Rorquaal is even after the 4 nerfs it has gotten (unless you want to call the Rorq a mining god)
Thing is, Rorqs aren't usable in High Sec. So committing to use one means comitting to go into Lowsec. Not everyone wants to do that all the time. Given this, the Orca has it's place.

haven't gone orca mining in years.... might need to get back into it.
There cheap enough at the moment so now is a good time to buy
@@DisownedHero I already have orcas, they just been collecting dust in HS. I tend to use Rorqs when the mood finds me. (which is rare)

Wow you know your stuff when it comes to the orca :) thanks for the additional info
@@DisownedHero Hehehe I've spent a lot of time in that ship. It's a great miner and mid-size hauler.
How cubic mètres per seconds with
T2 drones and your fit ?
How do i find this asteroid and is this more rare and rich?

Great video Hero. I love my Orca. (Ice mining is great in it 1 block per minute). Thanks for the info.
Hello. Does this ship cost approximately 1.5 billion ISK?
It used to. I'm not sure what's going on with the market prices for these at the moment but I think they are now around 500 mil so if you want one get one now lol
Hulls average for 600m in Jita currently.
M3 = cubic metres

what ship should get that lower price, year ago I had a retriever is that still a good ship for mid tier mining?

micro warp drives to move faster in space and also have a fleet mate web you so you reach your warp off speed quicker
Ahhhh, those were the days when a fully fitted orca only cost you 900 mil. Nowadays they go for almost 2bil.
If you slap a mwd on there you can get to warp really fast comparatively speaking! :D
Yeah didn't occur to me to do this. One blast of the MWD will really help with align time. Good shout :)
I would not use augnmented drones in high sec. Gankers destroy them and bumpers steal them. T2 drones are enough for the high.
I have heard stories about them being destroyed but honestly I have never experienced this or had anyone in our Corp mention that this has happened iether
I usually stick to Mining Drones II myself. If you lose them, its no big deal to me. They are cheap enough to buy and not that bad to make
if you fit it right it is a small carrier
Double box with a covetor in high sec and you can make some decent isk. Drone skills are super important, If I remember correctly using t2 mining drones my yield is way larger than yours. I want to say it’s around 230 per drone per cycle.
you're within 6 cubic meters of my exact yield per cycle, I'm at 236.....
i learned more from the comments than the actual video... All i wanted to know is how mutch m^3/60s you can get.
Yeah that's a hard one for me to say because I don't have max skills I actually don't know the numbers
@@DisownedHero dont worry i liked the video bat i tell you it was missing that information just to mention it in next videos.
Hi Disowned hero how do I join your Corp
some data of a fairly fitted mastery 5 mining orca and perfect drone skills (+ aug. mineing drones) :
27,75 m³ per sec. "rounded"
1665,25 m³ per minute.
orehold of 187500 m³ that fills up in 1,87 h under perfect conditions dronetraveltime does impact this, so better hug the rocks.
Why you not using mining laser? That will a lot faster right? 5 mining drones and 5 mining laser.
Orcas cost like 2bil today...(fitted)
Math isn't really your thing is it? Also, m3 is cubic meter.
hi there a couple of things
You were talking about dropping into the ore hold its actually the 40000 m3 fleet hanger that corp or fleet drop into or take out from you then transfer from it to the main or ore holds

the last time i ran the numbers for an orca was when i was in your corp and sitting right on a moon rock i was getting about 90000 m3 per hour but that drops significantly with any distance as mining drones fly slow
