Line 46:

Survey scanners on an Orca get a 500% range increase, so you can see how much ore is in every rock in over a 100km radius. This allows the Orca pilot to easily tag asteroids to mark those that are full or nearly empty, and better coordinate the miners.

===~~Gang Links~~===

===Command Burst Modules===

You can equip and use 3 [[~~warfare links|gang links~~]] on the Orca at the same time~~. However, the Orca only has 3 high slots so a tractor beam would have to replace one gang link~~. This ~~is also going~~ to ~~depend on what you’re using~~ the ~~ship for – a mining support ship is going to have different high slots than an exploration platform~~ (~~more on that later~~). ~~Additionally, you get a bonus~~ to ~~mining gang links with each level of {{sk|Industrial~~ Command ~~Ships}} skill, on top~~ of the ~~bonuses you would get from the {{sk|Mining Director}} skill, and the Mining Foreman Mindlink~~ [~~[implant]~~].

The way you boost your fleet is by using [[Command Bursts]] in your high slots. You can equip and use 3 [[Command Bursts]] on the Orca at the same time. This can be expanded to 5 [[Command Bursts]] with the use of two Command Burst Processor Rigs (150 calibration each). You will probably want to have the three Mining Command Burst Charges as well as a couple of the shield Command Burst Charges (See [https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/command-bursts/ Command Burst Dev Blog]).

~~Since~~ the ~~ship only gets bonuses to mining gang links, we’ll focus on those for now~~.

You can customize the burst being provided by a command burst module by changing the ammunition (the charge). The charges for the mining foreman command burst modules are:

The ~~three~~ mining ~~gang links~~ are:

*Harvester Capacitor Efficiency: cuts down on cap use for your mining lasers/harvesters

*Laser Optimization: cuts down on your cycle time for mining lasers/harvesters

*Mining Laser Field Enhancement: increases the range of your lasers/harvesters

~~The Capacitor link is the least often used~~, ~~since a tractor beam is generally more useful~~. ~~The~~ Laser Optimization ~~link adds a large~~ bonus to ~~miner's yield~~ and ~~forms most of the Orca's yield~~ bonus~~. The Laser Field Enhancement allows a fleet~~ to ~~mine the whole of many asteroid belts without moving, which is a large convenience.~~
