Anyone know if the RORQUAL is due for a buff any tme soon,

Would love to see it being able to be used in hi-sec mining ops

Since you can't cyno in to highsec I recommend warping it to the gate directly and jumping to highsec. Make sure you hire someone to provide security in case someone tries to kill you. There are several lowsec corps that I am sure would love to help you out.

I feel for the miners in this game, but the last thing we need is to allow Rorqs into High sec.

Rorqual is fine, no buffs needed. Besides, would be silly to have ore compression in high secure space. Have plenty of stations to refine at with high refining yields. Out in 0.0, can be difficult to find good refine yields anywhere, if at all, so much more convenient to compress the ore and move it somewhere with better yields.

Why not ? Their should be a T2 version of the orca and the Rorqual would work wonderfully in this role

No, there shouldn't.

40% refining station, 2% implant, and skills for t2 crystals and you can refine without loss in 0.0, it's really not that hard.

because what would it provide? the orca already provides enough high slots for all of the gang links, and has massive cargo space. you'd have to give up one for more of the other. giving up boosts for cargo is called a freighter, giving up cargo for boosts is called a rorqual and you don't even have to give up cargo for the extra boosts.

there's simply no niche that can be filled by a t2 orca.

this topic makes no sense, the rorqual is a video game spaceship designed and created specifically for low/null sec and not high sec.

Want to use rorqual. Leave High sec. Simples

You can. Move your Rorqual to Amamake, park it on the Osoggur gate and siege it there. Use your Orca to ferry ore to it for compression.

CCP would be the only ones.

Things I'd like to see, but am not holding my breath for:
* Larger drone bay (at least 0.01 m3 too small for a fighter)
* EWAR immunity
* 99% resists and enhanced shield boosting & capacitor recharge when industrial core is active
* Able to put Venture in the ship array.
* Able to put any ship type in the ship array.

Err... no.

EDIT: Though I do think the Orca needs one or two more utility high-slots, and one utility mid.

a 4th high slot would be great, then you can run 3 links and a tractor.
not sure there's a real reason for an extra mid, i'd rather see an extra low than an extra mid.

I truly and honestly hope you are joking.

Look out for those naughty minnies though, but im sure some upstanding members of the Amarr militia will protect you.

Rorqs are fine. Only thing I would change is allow %5 mining bonus when not in siege.

Another high on the Orca would be good though, but not necessary.

T2 capitals don't exist and I'm sure industrial ships aren't the first to come.
