The '''[[Orca]]''' is a mining support ship, classified as an Industrial Command Ship. The {{Sk|Industrial Command Ships|mult=yes|price=yes}} skill is required to fly it. Note that even though it is listed under "Capital Industrial Ships" in the EVE market, it does ''not'' require the {{Sk|Capital Industrial Ships}} skill.

* '''{{Co|wheat|Cargohold}}''':  The Orca's base cargohold is 30,000 {{m3}}, which can be expanded through modules and rigs. The cargohold also receives an additional 5% bonus to size for each level of {{Sk|Industrial Command Ships|icon=yes}}.  Maxed out for hauling, an Orca can fit over 90,000 m³ in its cargo hold.  This is the ''only'' hold on the ship that receives bonuses from modules and rigs.

* '''{{Co|wheat|Mining Hold}}''': As its name suggests, the mining hold can contain only mined materials (unrefined ore, ice and gas). Attempting to move modules or anything else into the mining hold will result in an error message. The mining hold receives a 5% bonus to size for each level of {{Sk|Industrial Command Ships|icon=yes}}. added to its base 150,000 m³.

* '''{{Co|wheat|Fleet Hangar}}''': The fleet hangar holds 40,000 m³ and can be made available to other fleet members or members of the pilot's corporation for access in space.  This is very useful for supporting mining operations, as mining fleetmates can then use the fleet hangar to store mined ore or ice.  The Orca pilot can then move that ore or ice to the ore hold or cargohold, or leave it in the fleet hangar, as space permits.

* '''{{Co|wheat|Ship Maintenance Bay}}''': This bay holds 400,000 m³, and can only contain assembled ships. Ship in a fleet hangar can only contain ammunition and charges; attempting to load assembled ships with other items in their cargoholds (such as ore or modules) will result in an error message. For an idea of what can fit in this bay, here are the sizes of some common ships  when assembled:

With the November 2016 Ascension update the Orca saw a drastic change in its ability to contribute to a mining op. Off-grid boosts were eliminated in favor of the new Command Burst system, and the Orca was given drastically increased mining and defensive capabilities.
