Of course the Orca pilot is going to have the mining foreman link, kind of defeats the whole purpose of having the fleet boosts if you don't use the relevant implant and only train your fleet skills to level 1.

You know you get a fleet bonus for macks in fleet, why?

Fine. We'll go all in. All 5 skills, 2x MLU II, 3 modulated strips, 5 mining drones, T2 mining crystals, Michi's, and MX-1005 yield: 2111 With a max skill pilot in another Hulk acting as FC: 2282 That, plus an orca yields: 3305 2282 * 3 = 6846 3305 * 2 = 6610 + 312 (because if you're going to be a **** about it, the Orca can field a flight of drones too): 6922 6922 > 6846. In conclusion: You're still bad at this game. You're still bad at math.

Lugues Slive Basement Chemists Dead Rune Society 1	Posted - 2013.04.08 20:21:00 - [37] - Quote Given the following cases: Case 1: Fleet of miners with no leadership skills, Max Orca boost is 1.15/(1-.3234) or 170% Case 2: Fleet of miners with Max leadership skills, Max Orca gives boost of 1.05/(1-.3234) or 155% Case 3: Fleet of miners with Max leadership and mindlink, Max Orca boost is 1/(1-.3234)or or 148% So the only case where 3 miners are better than 2wicked miners and a Orca is case 3 and you would have to be stupid to train all those skills and buy the implant and not use an Orca.
Ersahi Kir Freelance Mining Company 85	Posted - 2013.04.08 20:21:00 - [38] - Quote The orca is amazing, if you don't think so then you don't really understand how ridiculous it is. The orca is a fleet multiplier. Using the Laser Optimization II and the Mining Laser Field Enhancement II gang links you're being a huge force multiplier for your fleet. The extra range allows your ships to mine near the orca so they can deposit the ore directly into the fleet hanger, which saves a lot of time for haulers. But the math for the reduced cycle times is a lot more important. If you have maxed orca skill, leadership skills, and have the mining foreman mindlink your cycle time is -32%. That's almost a 1/3rd reduction in cycle time, which amounts to a ~47% increase in mining yield by itself. The mindlink also increases your mining yield bonus from leadership skills from 10% to 15%, which adds an extra 4% to each miner. Added together this results in ~54% added yield per miner, so if you fly with 2 or more barges the orca bonuses bring in more yield than an additional barge. But wait, there's more! If you're hardcore you can get the siege leadership gang link skills and add a shield harmonizing gang link II to give your fleet even more EHP. If gankers are motivated enough they can bring more people, but it does offer a nice chunk of survivability against ganks. But wait, there's more! The orca also serves as a mini-freighter that's less susceptible to ganks, so you can haul your refined material to a trade hub. edit: 1436 is the max yield per strip miner per cycle on a max yield hulk (2 MLU + 3 modulated strip miner II's). I think that number is using tech 1 mining crystals though, but this is also no implants. It can go higher of course, but it doesn't matter as the orca gives % based bonuses. A noob miner and a bittervet miner get the same % increase regardless of their base yield.

Haulie Berry 338	Posted - 2013.04.08 20:23:00 - [40] - Quote What's really confusing to me is how you came up with 4 + orca being the tipping point. I could understand you believing 3 hulks is better than 2 + orca. Thinking you need 4 before it becomes efficient is way off base, though. At 3 + orca you're at 10,227. 4 hulks is WAY behind at that point, at 9128.

You know you get a fleet bonus for macks in fleet, why? The comment above was tongue in cheek. And also the maths is pretty clear with the Orca, it is more than good enough. Giving it even more cargo capacity will mean that it will rival even freighters, and all for a mere 14 days training. In my opinion it needs a nerf, or ideally skill reqs need to be increased as 14 days is far to easy to get into such a powerful ship.

With the new changes of the barges to hold way more ore if you are not flying at least 5 accounts (1 orca and 4 miners) then you are wasting your time and money on the orca. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU ARE WASTING MINING YIELD!!!! DUH WHA? I have read your whole post. I really understand your issue, but i don't think you understand your issue yourself. Quote: With the new changes of the barges to hold way more ore if you are not flying at least 5 accounts (1 orca and 4 miners) then you are wasting your time and money on the orca. Logic, my good man. Logic. It's not possible to waste time mining, because there is not a single miner not doing something else, while the eve-client is running. One can not play "mining". It's not possible. You might warp to station every n minutes, but that's not playing the game. If you were actually doing something while mining, you would have to pay attention to what you are doing, but as mining does not require this, it is impossible to waste time mining ! Everything that's not elephant ... is irrelephant. o/

Skorpynekomimi 487	Posted - 2013.04.08 20:52:00 - [55] - Quote What is the orca good for? More than just mining. - Tanky haulage. You can squeeze about 200k EHP out of it, and close to 100k m3 cargo space split between the hangar and hold. Plus 50k m3 of ore. - Moving your operation around. I tend to load mine full of ships, so I can do other things while moving things about. - Secure temporary storage. Log an alt in flying it, access your stuff and ships, log them out. - Add some gang links instead of mining links, and you have a buff to gank resistance. Especially if you're skilled properly. ****
