===Missioning===

Running two accounts in missions, one of which is flying an Orca, can be helpful. In combat missions, you can provide non-mining ~~link~~ bonuses to your other character, and tractor the wrecks to a central point while the other character fights. Clear the room, and then head back to the orca to get your salvage ship, or refit your combat ship right in space. Since all the wrecks are already together, you can fit 8 salvagers instead of the usual 4 salvagers + 4 tractor beam configuration, and quickly salvage everything.

For mining missions, the benefits are obvious. You can semi-afk your way through the mission and never be in danger of your can expiring.

Occasionally you may get a courier mission that requires a huge amount of storage for hauling, particularly some of the storyline courier missions. Instead of needing a freighter, or making multiple trips, the orca can fit the bill.
