Anyone have a link to a good NS Solo Mining Rorq fit?

I'm having a hard time understanding what modules are only good for boosting barges/exhumers and what improves the excavator yield.

Thanks.

pyfa is your friend in this case ;)

None of the boosters improve the yield of an Orca. Shield booster helps with EHP. Drone Augmentation rigs and drone navigator models help the Orca yield. You can play with pyfa to see what works for Rorqual.

Industrial core improves the excavator yield while you're in siege (500% for T2, 400% for T1). Also, you want the drone mining rigs, T2 preferably. And a drone nav computer because those things move like glaciers.

For boosting your barges/exhumers, pick 2x T2 mining foreman boost (use the laser optimization and field enhancement charges) plus 1x T2 shield command boost (with shield harmonizing). No boosts will make your excavators do anything better.

This is an older post and the yields have been changed somewhat with nerfs/adjustments in patches since then:

If you really want to mine solo in a rorqual it is best to not fit any modules at all.

The people who will kill you will be grateful for killing you faster, you can be faster back in station and get a new rorqual and you even saved money by not buying modules to spend on your then new rorqual. Win/Win for everyone.
