all the spaceship command related skills are listed in the "show info" part of the rorqual.
all the leadership skills are mining foreman, mining director, and warfare link specialist. then wing/fleet commander as you see fit.

then after that it's just skills like fitting the industrial core, and other modules etc. i think.

all so add cybernetics V for the Mining Foreman Mindlink

Why a switch on/off? Because the new animation doesn't add anything to gameplay and it's graphically annoying. In other words, it's worse than bad: it's useless. Simple as that. - Kina Ayami

You need the following for the max boost:

Leadership V
Mining Foreman V
Mining Director V
Warfare Link Specialist V
Capital Industrial Ships V
Cybernetics V

The Tech II links give a 2.5% bonus, which is multiplied by:

2.5% * 5 (Mining Director Skill) * 1.5 (Warfare Link Specialist) * 1.5 (Mindlink) * 1.5 (Rorqal) = 42%

That will equal a 42% reduction in cycle time, for the Laser Optimization link, which will work out to a somewhat larger buff to m3/hour. You also get the 15% straight yield buff from the Mining Foreman skill (with the Mindlink plugged in). You can fit up a maxed Hulk and Rorq in EFT and compare the final yield with and without the boost to see what the actual ISK/hr payoff is.

EvE is supposed to suck.  Wait . . . what was the question?

Let see going down the line

Drones - make sure your skills are good as that is your only defence.

Electronics - Electronics / Long Range Targeting / Targeting

Engineering - Cap Shield / Em Shield / Energy grid / Energy Manag / Energy System / Engineering / Explos Shield / kinetic shield / shield comp / shield emiss / shield manage / shield oper / shield up / tactic shield / thermic shield.

industry - all the roid procing to 4, refin effic V, refin V, scrap V

leadership All the rank 2 items to 5 + wing command 3, war link spec V, mining dir 5

Mechan - jury rigging V, Mech V, salvaging V, shield rigging 3 or higher, astro rigging 3 or highe, hull upgrades V, remote armor repair V, repair system V,

Navigation - whatever the ship needs but jump fuel V and more important jump cal V

Science - cloning facility 3 or 4 works / cybernetics V / science V

Spaceship command - adv space command V / cap indust V / cap ship V

I am sure I missed some but those should be found by ship requirements and skill pre-requirements.
I know this is a little more then what you asked but considering you were not asking about boosting an orca I figured I better give you everything.

Not sure if you're trolling or just looking for Rorqual kills...

If you have to defend a Rorqual at all, you are doing it wrong, wrong, wrong. Rorquals usually boost from inside a POS. One day when they change the game to eliminate off-grid boosting, then they'll become useless since no one is going to siege a 2+B ship at a belt and we'll all go back to Orcas unless they seriously re-examine the siege cycle or defenses (ie, it doesn't have any) of the Rorqual.

The only time a Rorqual should ever be at a belt is to pick up cans, and even then it's a huge risk.

Yes people spend there entire life in a POS and never leave, therefore they shouldn't have any skills to defend themselves.
That is not entirely correct.
I know you meant well (or not ) but Murphy always plays a role in things you better be prepared.
So yes good drone skills.

Al things considered I am surprised you didn't comment on the capital shield skill then, or about the entire shield skill line.

To max out compression, you gotta train all the (ore) Processing skills too.

I wonder about someone that wants something like this done for them, yet wants to take a rorqual out into space.

Then I wonder where they live in eve...
