Small Tractor Beam II's max range is 84km and max tractor velocity is 1.2km/s.
Moble Tractor Unit's max range is 125km and max tractor velocity is 1km/s.
The Harvester Capacitor Efficiency link is virtually worthless.
Using a tanking link, shield or armor, is pretty futile - most likely won't prevent a gank of an Exhumer/Mining Barge.
Using a Sensor Booster link is unnecessary, because why boost scan range of Hulks when maxed out Modulated Strip Miner II range is 26km.
MTU will start pulling cans almost immediately, but this is workable (see Tau's advice).
The decision is yours.
I would use an MTU, put an Expanded Probe Launcher II in the spare high and scan down stuff for people who get bored with mining ;)
Also, don't use the Orca as a booster/hauler. Get a Miasmos, you can get a 63000m-¦ ore bay from it. |

please explain. that's what we are building the flipping thing in the first place!?
skilled up and maxed on the mining link bonuses and if we have 2 x mining laser optimization and 1 x mining laser field enhancement. That would be a SICK cycle time - ships be poopin out jet cans so fast!
What am I missing?
Simple misunderstanding, calm down :)
I said "Don't use the Orca as a booster/hauler", I should have said "Use the Orca only as a booster, not as a hauler".
Edit:
Mining Foreman Links have a "modulelimit -1" parameter; meaning you can only fit one of each to a single ship. |

Depends on the ganking party I guess, but still if the tanking module helps I say go for it! |

I feel like this baby would survive until concord showed up..in high sec
Well.. 26 Orcas died during Hulkageddon in 2012, many of those in hisec. Only takes a few of Tier 3 suicide Battlecruisers to down a poorly (cargo) fitted Orca. |
