I like it.

Your fit increased the EHP on a skilled char from 16,651 to 19,442 with better cap.

ove the better fitting capability of the Mackinaw, the retriever has for a long time needed a bit more lenience in its fitting profile.

Also, unless you are going to be a perfect ORCA pilot and boost a regularly organized mining fleet the CHARON is a far superior option to the ORCA (ive used both and the orca seems cool till you start flying it realize that it really only shines as a fleet assistance ship).

I had an orca for a couple months before i sold it, ive had my Charon for about 2 years and use it almost every single day.


If you are running 2 accounts and mining, you better of in 2 mack's. If you running a 3 man team an orca with 2 hulks is the way to go, even with t1 boosts it makes a difference. Running a freighter in a mining fleet will always be in addition to having an orca and you will need more than half a dozen miners to make it even profitable.

... What next ??

Not really. I would always prefer 1 orca and 1 Hulk if you mine actively. If not you are of course better with 2 Macks.

Orca + Hulk (ALL relevant V) generates theoretically, but more important realistically more income!

DC Mackinaw against DC Hulk = 6% plus income with the Hulk
DC Mackinaw against max-yield Hulk = 17'% more income

in reality you will gain more income from Hulk as well because you have less empty cycles!
A DC Hulk is not necessary as you can gain a lot of tank from using Siege and Armor Warfare Links, because with one Hulk, you only need Laser Optimization Link! And/Or use several other possible tactics to counter solo gankers.

So effectively I would say, that an Orca+Hulk Team generates approx. 20% more income. Surprised? Guess yes :)
