It must have been one of the first ones built, but sadly its currently in the hands of a Macro miner (yes macros do have hands) Anywho If you're wanting to gank one of these lovely ships. Its currently sat in Otela's Ice belt dishing out gang bonuses to the other chars.
Thanks
Me.
P.s. CCP I've filed about 2-3 petitions about these guys.

I've been thinking about the effects macro miners have on the game. I think they drive mineral prices down so I pay less for just about everything. There is also plenty of rocks to mine so I don't think I'm competing with them for rocks.
What's your beaf with macro miners?
If it has a SAVE button...I'm not interested. |

1. Its against the rules
2. It hurts legitimate players who want to make isk
3. Its cheating.
4. Is often used by isk farmers.
5. Puts people in the mentality that macro mining is ok when its clearly not.
6. Any other legitimate reasons.

It doesn't take a lot of work to undock a ship and click a gang booster once every 23 hours. I have an alt who sits at a POS and does this for corpmates when I'm at work. |

yeah, that thing is tanked,
you wont be able to damage it...
but yeah,
on the "macro" note..
I bet ya is some Farmer somewhere with lots of computers .. with.. yeah...
When GMs goes to check up on those guys...
if SOMEONE respond to the GM...(the farmer or his buddies)..
then GM cant do much to them...
heres the thing, they need concrete proof that those guys are breaking the EULA (selling isk) before they can nail them...
that takes awhile.... and if there is a human behind there monitoring it.... is really hard to nail...

Hahahah.... 
But srsly... Kill macros.
With faction police not scrambling... If I could get a BS to the system and a station that undocks directly toward the belt I could probably get a bunch of -10's to go do it... not like we mind the sec hit. 
But then it'd probably get called an exploit and faction police would get their scramblers back  |

Technically someone with 5 or more computers playing the game on each...there's nothing wrong with this, hell I know people with 10+ accounts playing each one, if they are selling isk for RL money then yeah that's an ISK Farmer.
However the above is NOT a macro!!! A macro is a third party program which "plays" the game for you. < Also breaking the rules but meh annoys me when people moan but don't understand the actual problem itself.
Also I very much doubt CCP's method of finding these is simply trying to open a convo with them 
Well....I hope there's more to it they are trying to do!

Chatlogs?
Or......Jovoich is a Macrominer and an Isk seller . I know this 100% because I spoke to the person controlling her and was told the whole corp is doing it. The Orca pilot she/he names above is a competitor to her own Macromining operation and he/she wants them moved on.
D'ya see how it works?

That's right, because marco miners often get together in corps and alliances so that when one of them gets nailed all the others can be found out really quickly....
Or alternatively it is a bunch of miners that stick to the same system mining all the time. How unusual! Miners really are that dull you know. |

You see, your kind of getting the wrong point of the post.
The point is, if you wanna blow up an Orca... this is where two are! If I had the ability to blow them up myself, I would gladly do it just to **** someone off. The fact that they are indeed macros is just the cheery on the top for me. |

haha fail reasons are highly PHAIL
#1 and #3 are basically the same #2 is a valid reason #4 is a big 'so what' unless it relates to #2 #5 & #6 are not reasons. they are just whining about #1
so, #2 is the only valid reason you posted
for something you seem to care so much about, you barely tried
and the truth is, its not hard to find roids. move to a different system.
you have no way to tell a macro from a valid bored afk miner. they are identical. mining lasers begin and end on timed cycles, so even timing someone is not valid proof.
does this explain to you why CCP cant and wont do anything about it ?
every single "fix" people suggest can be countered by a valid real player game mechanic / response
