I'm just curious why spend the extra ISK for the Storyline reinforced bulkhead? You get a very small velocity bonus and lose a little structure but this doesn't seem to help or hurt much.

Also is the shield link worth it or used much in mining fleets. I'm asking because I have an Orca pilot in training and was wondering if it was worth the extra training time.

This is my incursion hauler:

It does everything I need it to do, and it's never been shot at.

No dude there are no bubles in hisec and lowsec only in 0.0, dont know why no one else cleared that up for you before but I guess an Orca thread must needs attarct more people of a certain persuasion.

As for the advice to run mwd cycle and enough tank to last the 10 secs its pretty much fail advice because the moment a disruptor hits you even for 1 sec you speed will go down to 0 and you can forget about the 10 secs warp... moreover most gankers will be decent enough (one hopes) to apply all the alpha within 10 secs... its not rocket science.

The other dude saying he can do the nwd cloak trick with 3xinertias might or might not be right I dont have/had/will have an Orca but I can tell you that if it is not perfect but with a slight delay then try it with nanofibers instead. Inertias boost your signature and for many ships one sees that [random numbers example] with 3 inertias you warp in 8 secs and a dessy locks you in 7 whereas with three nanos you warp in 9 but the same dessy will lock you in 10...

I hope the above makes sense to you.

Edit: almost forgot. Check if a corp mate with a Rapier and a sebo might be able to help insta warp you as it happens with freighters. Havent tried it myself with Orca.
