except outside of "i have more ehp than the ******* moon, and concord are on their way" it really has no method of defense. if concord isn't on its way then all that ehp means nothing. that's why there would be a use for a command ship that gives mining bonuses rather than a freighter with gang links being the only way of providing boosts for a mining fleet.

Put some crystals in your strip miners.

I have an additional supercool idea: Get more pilots in corp.

The idea's don't stop there.

I hear that mining permit's give 100% boost to yield.

Not sure about that. They do, however, boost your charisma massively.

That's really weird, you might want to petition that. On top of it's 240k uniform EHP, my orca has a drone bay capable of fielding 5 medium and 5 small drones, allowing you to choose an appropriate size for your target and deal a couple of hundred DPS. And the general idea is that you don't fly it alone, it tanks long enough for the rest of your fleet to nuke the attacker.

Of course if concord are on their way, ecm drones would be more useful.

except outside of "i have more ehp than the ******* moon, and concord are on their way" it really has no method of defense.

But that's exactly what "brick" tanking is, and exactly what the damnation does, which you specifically cited as being examples of what your proposed ship should do.

the issue is most of an orca's ehp is in structure, unlike a damnation which has most of it's ehp in armour which means it's far easier to support with logistics.

i'm not saying the orca is bad at what it does, far from it. the orca is an amazing ship. however i think there's space for something with more teeth at the expense of the logistics capability that the orca offers. This would also remedy the issue with bringing mining links on grid; we will have a more suitable ship for hostile situations. easier to support, more gtfo ability, same mining bonuses. should/would ccp ever put time in to creating something like this? unlikely. Would it be wasted if they did; i don't think it would be a waste.

the more miner alts you stack in a fleet, the cheaper your orca pilot becomes.

Get to know your neighbors.
