Flying the Orca, and developing the best skill set to do so, is perhaps the biggest improvement in a ~~High~~-~~Sec~~ mining fleet. While the Orca has a large cargo bay, and a separate ore bay, one of its best uses is giving mining fleet members a longer mining laser range, and a faster mining laser cycle time. This leads to more ISK per hour of mining for all fleet members.

Flying the Orca, and developing the best skill set to do so is perhaps the biggest improvement in a high-sec [[Mining Op|mining fleet]]. While the Orca has a large cargo bay, and a separate ore bay, one of its best uses is giving mining fleet members a longer mining laser range, and a faster mining laser cycle time through the use of [[Warfare_links#Mining_Foreman_Links|warfare link modules]]. This leads to more ISK per hour of mining for all fleet members.

{{sk|Mining Foreman}}, {{sk|Mining Director}} and {{sk|Warfare Link Specialist}} 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.

Train {{sk|Science|III}} to ~~access~~ Small Tractor Beam I~~. The boosts from ship role are really huge so a~~ tractor beam is ~~really usefull~~ for mining ~~ops~~.

Train {{sk|Science|III}} to be able to use Small Tractor Beam I modules; with the Orca's built-in bonus to tractor beam range, an Orca pilot can pull in jetcans from an enormous area (which is very useful for a mining op).

Another way to support mining ops would be to train {{sk|Drones}} ~~and this is up to you~~ to ~~choose which kind~~ of ~~drone to fit~~. ~~Miners often come with~~ combat drones ~~so the best advice~~ to counter gankers ~~would be~~ to use ECM drones~~. For ECM Drones~~, you need {{sk|Electronic Warfare|III}} and {{sk|Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing|III}} ~~to use Wasp EC-900~~. It's ~~important to choose wisely which drones to fit because the~~ drone bay is ~~75m^~~3 (2 x Wasp EC-900, 2 x Vespa EC-600, 1x Hornet EC-300 ~~for example~~).

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) or ECM drones (to counter potential gankers). Note that, in order to use heavy ECM drones, you will need {{sk|Electronic Warfare|III}} and {{sk|Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing|III}}. Keep in mind that the Orca's drone bay is only 75 m<sup>3</sup>, so you can only carry a limited number of drones (for instance, 2 x Wasp EC-900, 2 x Vespa EC-600, 1x Hornet EC-300).
