321,877 EHP with shield hardeners overloaded. Does the job of giving mining bonuses. Tractor beam and salvage drones for cleanup on isle 3 after gang squad explodes all over it.

Then again, as someone has already said; even this is not gank proof. There is no such thing. Which is why EVE is awesome!

Lose the tractor, put in a armored warfare or siege warfare link.

No sympathy for high sec ice miners. I used to do it and made a billion a day, easy and risk free.

We ganked an orca the other day. Pilot ejected. Well, some of us used to be carebears and can fly orcas. Thanks guy for the free orca! Of course the hyperion, the legion, and all the other crap that came after us afterwards was wonderful too. I love EvE.

Heh, The New Order = Glorified Griefer Ganks.


Saw some New Order members a few weeks ago in Frarn system harassing mining ships and trying to extort ISK from them. They kept saying The New Order had jurisdiction for that system and any player mining was required to buy a permit. Then they would announce a players name in Local saying they were in direct violation of some sort of mandate or something and start bumping them saying they were required to buy a permit.

After a while Mission Runners in Local started messing with The New Order. Some said things like = This system is owned and controlled by the Minmatar Republic, home of New Edens Freedom Fighters for the oppressed. Others would say mining was being done in various belts at different times but it was actually Mission Runners in Battlecruisers or Battleships that had fit 1 active mining laser just to mess with them. Even had a Noctis do it too towards the end. This lasted for about 15 minutes and then The New Order was basically laughed out of the system.

Surprised the Ibis, Pilgrim, Velator, didn't raise any alarms. The spike in local was also ignored instead of fleet warping.

DIdn't check people in local (scroll), nor d-scan either.

Bulkhead + Damage Control might have helped some on the Orca, but if someone is intent on a gank, they will get it done.

…and ”helped some” in this case would have meant lasting 4× as long.


I wrote a blog post about it before mining barges rebalance... Tanked Orca offers nearly 300k EHP versus 65k EHP of Cargo expanded Orca. Why people use cargo expanders and cargo rigs on their orcas... it's their risk to take.

I would gladly warp more often to the station and fit a proper tank if I were ever to fly an Orca in high sec.

Yeah, a dscan after local spike feels natural... then again it feels natural for anyone who spent their time away from high sec, at least for a while.

+1. Tractor isn't required, siege resist link FTW! And it helps other ships in the fleet to be more gank resistant as well
