Instead, mining boosts can be supplied by an ordinary battecruiser fitted with boosting Link Modules. For example, Antei's alt Paul flies primarily Amarr, and so he boosts with a Prophecy: | ||
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. | |||
