Industrial Command Ships directly follow the ORE Industrials section of the tech tree. Their primary purpose is to provide support for mining fleets, usually in the form of Command Bursts. Though not explicitly stated in-game, Industrial Command ships as a group are immune to Micro Jump Field Generators.

Porpoise

The Porpoise class Industrial Command Ship is a more affordable, introductory mining foreman platform. Due to its agility and warp speed it excels at supporting fleets in more dangerous regions from Low Security Space to Wormhole Space. The Porpoise can be as cheap as a tech one battlecruiser. The ship also carries more or less the same bonuses as the Orca, making it a good training vessel for training into a much larger fleet support capacity.

When new lower-mass wormhole connections began appearing across Anoikis in late YC116, ORE tasked the engineers at its advanced Outer Ring Development labs with creating a mining foreman vessel capable of passing through these gateways and exploiting the unspoiled riches available within. Creating such a compact ship while preserving much of the utility of the larger Orca and Rorqual designs proved a significant challenge, but the end result was a ship that had great potential for capsuleer mining operations in all areas of space. The Porpoise can use a medium industrial core to substantially increase its industrial capabilities, while empowering its defenses during deployment in a static configuration. A key element of the industrial capacity unlocked by activating an industrial core is the ability to use compressor modules, with the Porpoise also having this capability, although limited to using medium gas and asteroid ore compressors. The Porpoise is a smaller, more mobile and more affordable mining foreman platform that is perfect for supporting mining operations in dangerous space. It is capable of providing support to its allies through mining foreman bursts, remote shield boosters and survey scanners. The Porpoise also enjoys strong bonuses to mining drones, allowing it to pull in its own share of the ore in any mining operation.

Orca

The Orca is a more powerful mining foreman platform that can fit three command bursts, which can be extended by fitting appropriate rigs. The ship boasts four bays; ship maintenance bay that can be used to store assembled ships, a mining hold, a fleet hangar and normal cargo hold. This allows the Orca to not only prolong the time it can stay on grid during mining operations, but also allows it to be a formidable general purpose freighter. The Orca's large number of mid slots allows it to fit one of the most effective tanks among hauling ships, easily reaching 400k ehp without overheating any modules.

More about the Orca and its various roles is listed in the Orca Guide.

The Orca was developed as a joint venture between Outer Ring Excavations and Deep Core Mining Inc as a vessel to help meet the demands of New Eden's industry and provide a flexible platform from which mining operations can be more easily managed. The Orca is also capable of using a large industrial core to substantially increase its industrial capabilities, while empowering its defenses during deployment in a static configuration. A key element of the industrial capacity unlocked by activating an industrial core is the ability to use compressor modules, with the Orca having the flexibility to use a number of specialized large compressors. The Orca uses much of the technology developed by ORE for the Rorqual and integrated with the latest advancements from Deep Core Mining research division has developed a vessel which offers a diverse role to all sizes of operations and needs.
