{{sk|Mining Foreman}} and {{sk|Mining Director}} provide an effective skill set for Orca operations. These skills assist fleet members in mining yield improvements. Mining Foreman links in the high slots complete the mastery of the Orca, providing mining laser range improvements and faster mining cycle times as an integral improvement to a mining fleet.

Another way to support mining ops would be to train {{sk|Drones|V}} to fly a full wing of five drones from the Orca. Depending on the situation you will want either combat drones (to kill belt rats), ECM drones (to counter potential gankers) or mining drones to mine ore. Note that, in order to use heavy ECM drones, you will need {{sk|Electronic Warfare|III}} and {{sk|Advanced Drone Avionics|III}}.

Miners in the fleet can have direct access only to the fleet hangar bay. The Orca pilot must move ore from the fleet hangar bay to the ore hold or the cargo bay when the fleet hangar gets too full. Typically, it’s good practice to place mining crystals, both T1 and T2s in the fleet hangar, so the fleet can have access to new ones when theirs burn out. This takes up just a little of the fleet hangar.

The mining fleet can use the Orca's ship maintenance bay to reconfigure their mining ship, swapping out fittings for different purposes. To enable this, the Orca pilot must configure the Orca to allow this access. This is done by the Orca pilot right clicking on the Orca, clicking on the Configure Ship menu item, and clicking the “Allow Fleet Member Usage” box.
