''N     A good set of Mining Foreman links are Laser Optimizer which speeds up mining lasers / gas harvester / ice harvester cycle time and Laser Field Enhancement which increases the range of the fleet's mining lasers, gas harvesters and ice harvesters. For the ORCA, it’s good to have a Tractor Beam in the third high slot, so the Harvester Capacitor Efficiency link is usually not used (or at least I don’t fit one)

ORCA cargo hold increases with pilot ORCA skill levels. The baseline cargo bay of an ORCA is 30,000 m3, which is a lot of space. That, combined with the ORE hold (50,000 m3) and the Corporate Hanger (40,000 m3) has a total ORE storage space of 120,000 m3. This is enough room to keep a small size mining fleet going for an hour or two.

With full ORCA skills, the cargo hold is increased to 37,000 m3, and with T2 Expanded Cargoholds in the low slots, the bay is increased to 60,900 m3. A fleet now has access to 159,000 m3 of storage space in a fully tricked out ORCA (without rigs). This allows an ORCA fleet a significant time in belt. Typically, it’s good practice to place mining crystals, both T1 and T2s in the Corporate Hanger bay, so the fleet can have access to new ones when theirs burn out. This takes up just a little of the Corporate bad.

ORCAs have VERY slow locking ability against high sec NPCs or anybodies Frigate. The use of sensor boosters in the Mid slots does help when targeting RATs.
