    strips don't require turret slots. exhummers have no turret slots, either. as being said by others, orca is not a miner, but a miner support ship.

     

    Aye, I forgot that...  its the 99% reduction in CPU that allows them to be fit, not the turret slots...  cheers for the reminder and correction

• • orca can it fit strips

  • No, it has3 high slots, but no turret slots meaning only tractor beams...  

     

    Heres the official specs:

     

    Bonuses
    Role Bonus

    * 250% bonus to range of tractor beams (70km)
    * 100% bonus to tractor beam velocity (1km sec)
    * 500% bonus to survey scanner range (~125km)
    * Can fit gang mods

    Industrial Command Ships Skill Bonus

    * 3% bonus to effectiveness of mining foreman gang links per level
    * 5% bonus to cargo capacity per level

    
    Orca Cargo Capacity

    The cargo capacity is designed to accommodate a large volume of different types of cargo and is split between the cargohold (30,000m3 base capacity max expandable to around 90,000m3+), a corp hangar (40,000m3) and ship maintenance bay (400,000m3).

    The benefit of the corporate hangar is that it can be used as a secure location for storing ore because it is accessible by others. For example, when out on mining ops your haulers (if you still need them with the Orca present) can take from here instead of scooping jet cans.

    The ship maintenance bay is very useful for moving a few ships out to a new location, either in space or a station, and also has the benefit of allowing your corp or fleet members to either refit in space or arrive in fast ships and switch to a mining barge or other ship. Also this makes moving rigged ships around much easier with it being the first ship which uses stargates to also have a ship maintenance bay and moves throughout empire.

    
    Fitting

    * 3 hi / 4 med / 2 low slots (0 turret / 0 launcher hardpoints)
    * 430 cpu / 960 pg
    * 3 rig slots / 400 calibration points
    * 75m3 drone bay / 50 Mbit/sec bandwidth
    * Hitpoints - 46,000 structure / 6,900 armor / 10,750 shield

    Required Skills to fly the Orca

    * Industrial Command Ships 1 (new skill)
    * Spaceship Command 5
    * Mining Barge 5
    * Mining Foreman 5
    * Mining Director 1

    What will it cost?

    * The ship is aimed to cost around 400 million ISK in capital ship components
    * The Industrial Command Ship skill will cost 50 million ISK
    * The Orca Blueprint will be around 1 billion ISK
