No combat drone switch outs 'they didn't respond' no tank for backup. He just died, slowly, to a stealth bomber orbiting him.<br /><br />A full cargo expanded fit makes me twitch. Its my opinion on it. I'm sure that there is a place for this for some people.

First, having an orca in a fleet means you shouldn't have to jet can. He is boosting so the miners have range and the orca to just keeps range to 2k and follows the miners through the belt. This way fleet members just put the ore directly into the hold. Secondly, if you are flipped and you flip back, you just open yourself to being fired upon with no repercussions to the original can flipper. Also if your tanked for belt rats, you should really not get into a fight.

It is very specialized, true: single Orca-boosting and hauling for a small group of miners, and should steer clear of any dangerous situations.Druur Monakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299435488090977357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-45997471868592017862012-12-13T09:25:56.947-05:002012-12-13T09:25:56.947-05:00Well I use my Orca for mobility platform for my pv...Well I use my Orca for mobility platform for my pvp alt as well as mining. I actually didn't get my 1st orca till I was in a 0.0 alliance and I was glad that I waited as well. I was guided to tank my Orca well and have a cloak on it. Even though I'm back in Hi/lowsec i still tank like it I was still in 0.0. BTW, loving your blog. I've been following it for the last few weeks and I enjoy the posts a lot.

One for boosting and one for hauling. You don't want to loose the mining bonus every time it has to warp.<br /><br />But since 4. Dec. there is another really nice method: Hauling with a Freighter.<br />I had some nice Corpmining events running lately with almost 30 Hulks grinding rocks. One Noctis flying around collecting all the cans to a bookmarked warp-in and one Freighter warping to the bookmarks collecting all the cans. Hauling freighters full of ore... that lights up my industrial heart ;-)Chaninanoreply@blogger.com
