Orcas can fit three mindlinks at the same time, and if memory serves, there is no restriction that they be mining mindlinks only. Is it possible that they are boosting others also running level 4 missions? I am not skilled to provide boosts, but would an orca cost less than the appropriate combat ships also capable of three mindlinks? Just offering a possible explanation as to WHY they are there.


Orcas are very effective at boosting Level 4 Mining Missions AFK although in an 0.8 system they will get less rewards than a 0.5 system (although that depends on the corp LP store).

Two ORCAS with no mining permits. CODE has a job to do per their manifesto. I don't see anything from James saying I have to pay them to do it.

A single tanked orca should be able to tank that damage in a 0.8 system. I don't think you did the maths did you?

The reason they are there are probably boosting some miner, i dont know the system if it has belts or not, but thats the idea. In the case of NPC boosters you could claim the same about incursion runners that either have a booster orbit station or run a straight line at 1500+m/s

Orca however only provides boost to mining links.
This isn't true. Most standard mining orca fits include a seige warfare link. You can use any warfare link in a battle orca.

OP, what links are they using. You might try pushing one yourself far from the station. Doesn't require a gank, but will make him realize he's not completely safe.




As someone with a fair bit of experience with orca mining ops, I can confidently say that no, siege warfare links are very rare. They are not part of the standard mining orca fit.

You should reread the manifesto then. He addresses this in the FAQ.

No need to re-read it. I've read it. Nothing in the FAQ about me having to pay CODE to take out two ORCAS that don't have mining permits. Now if CODE doesn't want to do it, that's their choice.
