Orcas are the | Although Orcas are great for boosting AMC mining fleets in high-sec, they are too large to fit into many wormholes without collapsing the hole, and they are too expensive to lose in the risky environment of W-space. Instead, | ||
They typically shouldn't be flown by Unistas, to ensure their safety during high-sec travel. In low-sec ops, the Orca should be posted within the docking range of a station if possible, or within 1 km of a gate leading to a high-sec system. No one should be able to take down an Orca before it can dock at station or jump away. Ideally, the Orca pilot should be able to provide mining boosts while the fleet is mining, but also dock up and re-fit for combat boosts while the fleet is fighting. Even when the Orca is fitted for mining support, the Orca booster can provide agility and defensive boosts to fleeted miners by training [[Skills:Leadership#Skirmish_Warfare|Skirmish Warfare]], [[Skills:Leadership#Armored_Warfare|Armored Warfare]] and [[Skills:Leadership#Siege_Warfare|Siege Warfare]] skills. | |||

The FC will transport this ore to the closest low-sec station or POS reprocessing array, where the ore can be processed to minerals with near-perfect refine. | * A [[Miasmos]], to retrieve miners' jet-canned ore from belts & warp-out points.
