However, the Orca requires a completely different skill set to most haulers. After the Odyssey skill changes, it will take 18d 19h 6m to train. This is a significant cut in training time from the old requirements pre-Odyssey. | However, the Orca requires a completely different skill set to most haulers.

Below are the optimal ships for each task, assuming that the area that you're going to/through is not a place where it's a clearly bad idea to bring such a ship type. As soon as moving through either null or low sec is required, you are strongly encouraged to switch to a Viator (blockade runner) or jump freighter. | Below are the optimal ships for each task, assuming that the area that you're going to/through is not a place where it's a clearly bad idea to bring such a ship type.

For T1 industrial ships, you will want to fit as many medium/large shield extenders into the mid slots as possible. This should be balanced with shoring up your weak EMP/Thermal resist holes using Adaptive Invulnerability Field modules or Shield Resist Amplifier modules. In cases where you need more EHP and can sacrifice cargo space, consider adding DC2 ([[Damage Control Unit]] II) modules, reinforced bulkheads, or armor resist modules. A poorly fit T1 industrial hauler will only have 4k to 6k EHP, a well fit T1 industrial can have 10k to 20k EHP without sacrificing too much cargo space. | For T1 industrial ships, you will want to fit as many medium/large shield extenders into the mid slots as possible.

For Orcas, the standard fit is | For Orcas, the standard fit is a DC2 and a Reinforced Bulkhead II in the Low Slots and three Large Transverse Bulkead II rigs. This takes your ship from about 150k EHP up to about 420k EHP. The addition of some passive shield resistance amplifiers (2x EM, 1x Kinetic, 1x Thermal) will increase the EHP to about 450k without any shield skills. Using Cargo rigs is discouraged since you lose about 170k EHP for a low amount of additional cargohold. | ||
You should train Hull Upgrades IV and Mechanics IV (or better V) before undocking, being able to use a DCU II gives a really nice EHP boost and since you are almost full-hull-tank, the extra 5% from Mechanics V are also very nice. You should also consider using a 'Noble' Mechanic implant (Slot 8) which increase hull HP by anything from 1% up to 6%. | |||
Blockade runners rely on good bookmarks, crafty use of their Covert Ops Cloak, [[MWD]], and not fitting anything that would increase signature radius (no shield extenders). Due to their use of a covops cloak, well-flown blockade runners can be almost impossible to catch in hi-sec / lo-sec. So they are a good choice for more expensive cargo runs. But they are also very flimsy and can easily be ganked if you leave them uncloaked at a gate. | Blockade runners rely on good bookmarks, crafty use of their Covert Ops Cloak, [[MWD]], and not fitting anything that would increase signature radius (no shield extenders).
