Cargo Capacity:
For 400mil, I expect more, really.
Ore Compression:
Can it, or can't it?
Tank:
If it can't tank belt rats, your Mining Foreman would be better off in a BC/CS, unless you like having two people doing the job of one.
Ore Compression:
Can it, or can't it?
Tractor Beams:
70km is pretty small, and 1km/s is pretty slow. It would be quicker to warp to a bookmark/can 200km above the belt and then warp to the jetcan as opposed to tractoring the same can for over a minute. Unless this thing is meant to tank belt rats (doesn't look like it), in which case it's even worse off, as it can't warp about to grab the cans more than 70km off.
Ore Compression:
Can it, or can't it?
Gang Bonuses:
3 High slots for tractor(s) and command link(s). Looking good...

Well, compared to Freighter cost, and the added agility/speed this has over the freighter, this seems reasonable
Half the price of a freighter for... not even close to a quarter of the cargo capacity of a freighter. You're right about the agility and speed though. |

Originally by: Vigilant Have to LOL a bit... It's a "high security" ship, why does it need "OMG UBER" tank?
The only thing screwy with is the skill set. Mining barge is still wierd to me.
More slots are always nice, but CCP is not looking to fill every "niche" job with ship, and that is what I keep seeing people trying to do by tweaking the Orca to suit their "niche".
I was expecting CCP to create a mini-rorqual. Silly me! |

Originally by: Serenity Steele Nice to know that solo mining can increase, so that Alliances can afford cheaper Titans. Nice addition, unfortunately wrong focus.
Yes, I too am looking forward to solo mining in my no-strip-miner-no-turret-slots-for-Miner-IIs Orca.
Yes, I too am looking forward to solo mining three entire jetcans full of ore (instead of two) so that I can swap to this new 400mil Orca to save me about 10 minutes of hauling time. |

Originally by: Gerardd One question though. It seems not possible to fit a capital tractor beam given the powergrid availability Is that on purpose or an oversight?
Current intention is that it uses the Small Tractor Beam I. The role bonuses result in a 70km range, and a tractor speed of 1km/s.
The hull has a base targeting range of 60km though. You'll need to train Long Range Targeting IV to get the full 70km, or fit a sensor booster. |
