I am brand new to the rorqual and looking for advice's on how to fly it and fit it, and please explain what compressed ore is for, would also like to know if nullsec ore is better then highsec ore. I am also looking into the rorqual to be used at the belts with a clock, would also like to k ow if the rorqual can use boost inside a pos.

Compressed ore is just ore that takes up less volume than normal ore, so you can carry more of it. There's no reason to have a rorqual to compress ore, you can just get the POS Compression Array to do it for you.

Nullsec ore is better than highsec ore, but the rorqual isn't a miner. Also, people in nullsec tend to try to kill you.

Rorqual can boost while inside a POS, just like the Orca. If you ever take your Rorqual outside of POS shields, everyone within 15AU in every direction will know about it and will come to kill you.

I also feel like "rorquak" is just asking for an awesome image of something that is half-rorqual, half-duck.

What if I put a Hulk inside an Orca inside a Rorqual? Sort of like a turducken. Would it be called a Hulcaqual?

More like a Rorhulca. It'll be the most revolutionary indy ship ever flown!

When you warp your Rorqual and there are non-blues in local, check your destination for bubbles (drag or stop) or ask a friend for some real-time information.

Also, you Rorqual has literally no reason to ever be outside of a force field.

Rorquals can also fit clone bays, meaning you can make jump clones for your corpmates.

Because it is slow and easily tackled.

That might work for a while. But it wouldn't take long before someone figured out what you were doing and started trying to decloak the Rorqual. Or they would just camp for it in a cloaky ship of their own.

"Almost" is the key word in that sentence. You'd be amazed how much effort people will go to to get a capital kill.

However, by all means park your Rorqual at a belt. I'm sure some helpful folks will come along and explain why doing so is not a great idea at some point.

Yes. Haulers are cheap to lose. Rorquals are not.
