Required skills for ORE ships vary depending on the ship class. All mining-related ships require Mining Barge and Astrogeology to some level, though, and the Orca and Rorqual require leadership skills in order to give bonuses. The Primae does not require any skills to pilot, but the Noctis will require a new skill: ORE Industrial, which, at this time, is planned to only be seeded in ORE nullsec regions. | Required skills for ORE ships vary depending on the ship class.

| + | Most ORE ships (with the notable exceptions of the Orca and Rorqual) are shield tanked. For hisec mining around Aldrat, you'll only need a tank with some decent EHP and 5 or 6 peak DPS, along with decent drone skills, in order to keep the rats away. Launch the drones when you arrive in the belt and set them to aggressive to make sure they attack rats as soon as possible; but if you don't have a few levels in Drone Durability then you'll need to keep an eye on your drone window to see if any of them are taking damage and pull in the ones that are. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Orca and Rorqual are also shield tanked, but most of their EHP comes from a large hull buffer that is greatly extended by fitting a DCU2. | ||

Revision as of 19:57, 22 September 2010
Template:Uwc The ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide is intended to give basic ship fitting advice and skill recommendations for ORE ships. For more indepth discussion of the purpose and use of some specific ORE ships, please see the Mining Ships and Orca pages.
The fits given will try to fit Mining Upgrades where possible; you can replace these with Expanded Cargoholds depending on preference. Also, Warrior drones will be used, since Aldrat's local rats are Angels. You will probably want to swap these for Hobgoblins in other regions. Medium Cargohold Optimizations will be added to all fits; these are useful but optional. You'll probably want to skip them if you're thinking of reselling a ship quickly, especially the Procurer and/or Covetor.
Skills
Required skills for ORE ships vary depending on the ship class. All mining-related ships require Mining Barge and Astrogeology to some level, though, and the Orca and Rorqual require leadership skills in order to give bonuses. The Primae does not require any skills to pilot, but the Noctis will require a new skill: ORE Industrial, which, at this time, is planned to only be seeded in ORE nullsec regions.
Most ORE ships (with the notable exceptions of the Orca and Rorqual) are shield tanked. For hisec mining around Aldrat, you'll only need a tank with some decent EHP and 5 or 6 peak DPS, along with decent drone skills, in order to keep the rats away. Launch the drones when you arrive in the belt and set them to aggressive to make sure they attack rats as soon as possible; but if you don't have a few levels in Drone Durability then you'll need to keep an eye on your drone window to see if any of them are taking damage and pull in the ones that are.
The Orca and Rorqual are also shield tanked, but most of their EHP comes from a large hull buffer that is greatly extended by fitting a DCU2.
Mining Barges
Mining barges are the first level of ORE mining ships, and follow a natural progression from Procurer to Covetor. Mining Barges require various levels of Science Astrogeology and Spaceship Command Mining Barge to pilot.
Procurer

Retriever

[Retriever, Hisec Mining]
Covetor
Template:Infobox Ship Horizontal
[Covetor, Hisec Mining]
[Covetor, Mining w/ T2 Strips]
This is a good point to train for T2 Strip Miners, which add a significant boost to your mining output but require more management and capacitor skills. Template:ShipSkillGuide
Exhumers
Exhumers are the T2 versions of Mining Barges. However, only the Hulk is a direct upgrade from a Mining Barge; the Skiff and Mackinaw serve specialized purposes. Exhumers all require various level of the Spaceship Command Exhumers skill to operate.
Skiff
Template:Infobox Ship Horizontal
[Skiff, Mercoxit Mining]
Mackinaw
Template:Infobox Ship Horizontal
[Mackinaw, Ice Mining]
[Mackinaw, T2/High Yield Ice Mining]
If you mine ice often, then it's worthwhile to train up to T2 Ice Miners for a significant boost in yield. Template:ShipSkillGuide
