A few weeks ago there was some information flying around in the Uni Industry channel about Orcas. Some of it was accurate, some of it was misinformed. I’ve been flying one on my alt for a few months now, so I figured I would provide some clarification on what they can do, so that people can decide whether or not they really want to spend the time training for one. I rolled an alt specifically to become an Orca pilot, and it turned out to be a bit different from what I was expecting it to be. I’m still happy with the ship, but I wish I had this information ahead of time. It’s around a 400,000,000 ISK investment for the hull alone, so it helps to be forewarned.

==What is the Orca?==

The [http://eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Orca Orca] is a [[mining]] support vessel. It does a decent job of this, but it also has many other uses. And depending on how many people the ship is supporting, you might actually be better off with another miner (covered later).

The Orca is also an Industrial Command Ship. It is NOT a Capital Industrial Ship. ~~I’ve seen~~ some people buy the wrong skillbook and waste over 400,000,000 isk. Unless you want to fly a Rorqual, save yourself the cash. ~~I think the~~ confusion stems from the Orca being listed under “Capital Industrial Ships” in the market window. The proper book ({{sk|Spaceship Command|Industrial Command Ships}}) costs 45,000,000 isk from NPC school stations.
