...Yeah, it's not for everyone but so far it does more or less what our corp expected it would.
One small request: Please give us a bit more space in the Ship Maintenance Bay so we can fit 1 Hulk and 1 Iteron Mk V in there at the same time.  |

What good is the Itty V going to do you if you can't move anything but charges, crystals, or ammo in the SMA?

Well, you don't need to be inside the SMA to maximize the use of the MK V. Being able to dock a MK V and a Hulk at the same time will allow you to better maximize the roles of at least one member of a smaller mining gang.
It all depends on how your Orca fits into your plan. |

I am loving my Orca, but would like to be able to apply cargo expander modules as per my choice, i.e. to increase ship bay or corp hangar instead of my own cargo.
Or, instead, perhaps specialised modules to increase Ship Bay space in the same way as Cargohold Extenders (maybe T2 invented from T1 regular extenders?) Ship Bay Extender II and Corporate Hangar Extender II modules would be something I would love to make. Similarly (perhaps instead but I don't think so) a rig would help.
I think having 3 gang link slots is a little odd with only 3 hi slots, as you don't then get the opportunity to include a tractor, but I guess that is a game balance thing. |

Given that the Orca's ship bay is just large enough for 2 Hulks...
And given that it has a sizeable cargo hold, as well as corp hanger...
My impression has been that the Orca itself was meant to act as a hauler, not carry a separate hauler as well.
Orca drags 2 Hulks to the belt. Miners arrive in shuttles, and switch ships. Orca tractors in Jet Cans, and delivers to station.
Yes, it means losing the boosters for a minute while docked. But I don't think that's enough justification to CCP to consider fitting a dedicated hauler inside as well. |

I just want to be able to dock my freighter to my orca so it is easier to off load minerals. I have 4 accounts that i solo mine with and loosing 7 minutes of bonuses to unload the orca because you can't dump into a freighter is a bite. Not to mention anyone else who is in your fleet looses all the bonuses as well. |

I have 2 accounts and I use one to fly the orca and the other one to fly a hulk, when the orca is full I dock the hulk in the orca and bring out a salvager to salv the wreaks that popped while I was mining. And when the orca gets back I start this allover again. Sounds fun, right
