m typos, All Industrial Command ships as a group are immune to MJFG, this has been known for a while https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/7k6kdl/ccp_why_you_cannot_mjfg_a_porpoise/ and after numerous discussion and reports CCP has clarified that this is not mistake and that the MJFG description is fine although it is not explicitly stated that the porpoise is immune

The Orca is also capable of using a large industrial core to substantially increase its industrial capabilities, while empowering its defenses during deployment in a static configuration. A key element of the industrial capacity unlocked by activating an industrial core is the ability to use compressor modules, with the Orca having the flexibility to use a number of specialized large compressors.

The Orca uses much of the technology developed by ORE for the Rorqual and integrated with the latest advancements from Deep Core Mining research division has developed a vessel which offers a diverse role to all sizes of operations and needs.

The Orca is designed to support a mining fleet with its command burst modules. it can fit three command burst modules without help from rigs allowing a single Orca to give all the necessary mining boosts to a fleet.

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 [[Command_Bursts|Command Burst modules]]. This leads to more ISK per hour of mining for all fleet members.

{{sk|Mining Foreman}} and {{sk|Mining Director}} 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.

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), ECM drones (to counter potential gankers) or mining drones to mine ore. Note that, in order to use heavy ECM drones, you will need {{sk|Electronic Warfare|III}} and {{sk|Advanced Drone Avionics|III}}.

Miners in the fleet can have direct access only to the fleet hangar bay. The Orca pilot must move ore from the fleet hangar bay to the ore hold or the cargo bay when the fleet hangar gets too full. Typically, it’s good practice to place mining crystals, both T1 and T2s in the fleet hangar, so the fleet can have access to new ones when theirs burn out. This takes up just a little of the fleet hangar.

While the ships can drop, it is still impossible to scan past the first ''"layer"'' of the Ship Maintenance Bay, so people can see what ships you have in there but are unable to see how those ships are fitted or what charges and ammo they might have in their cargo holds. As such it's possible to hide expensive modules on ships in the Ship Maintenance Bay. Just remember that they can still drop and will show up on your lossmail.
