This is a guide to train an alt from newly created to being able to sit in an Orca. An Orca pilot alt has a variety of use-cases, but the two examples that this skill plan emphasizes are hauling Incursions pirate battleships from focus to focus and suitcasing belongings in a wormhole. The skill plan for training the alt into an Orca requires with only one Multiple Character Training license. It also includes skills to train to allow the Orca pilot to move the Incursions pirate battleships. This plan is not intended for actual use as a mining booster.

Those who only need to ferry battleships, and not smaller ships or a lot of gear, would probably be better off with a valet alt.

A suitcase is a ship that holds a bulk of items and ships in the event of relocating to a new wormhole system or a wormhole eviction. An Orca has a base capacity of 40k m3 in the fleet hangar (fittings, packaged ships), 400k m3 in the Ship Maintenance Bay (fitted ships), 150k m3 in the mining cargo hold (ore and gas), and 30k m3 in the cargo hold. While a freighter can hold more items than an Orca, the Orca is uniquely good for suitcasing because it can fit through large wormholes typical of C2 and C3 wormhole systems whereas a freighter is dependent on having an extra large connection to k-space to get it out.


This plan has two main parts, the support skills and the ship skills. It uses the yearly re-map for the ship skills, but no re-map on the support skills. If a pilot really wanted to squeeze a few more things in I would use all three re-maps. First Int-Mem for supports. Then Cha-Wis for the leadership skills. Finally Per-Wis for the ship skills. This will give the player a few extra days to add in some other useful things mentioned at the end.

Notes:
  • If your alt is Amarr, Gallente or Minmatar you will already have Hull Upgrades III and Mechanics III as starting skills
  • This plan covers Tank skills, Navigation & Cap skills, Misc, Leaderships skills and Orca ship skills below.

Support Skills

Cybernetics

All new characters start with Cybernetics I, which enables you to use implants. Plug in +3 implants of all types at the start, as this plan does not work without them.

Tank skills

The Orca hull tanks with a secondary shield tank. Hence Hull Upgrades IV and Mechanics are key for a proper Orca tank.

Navigation Skills & Cap Skills

An Orca really needs an MWD to reduce its align time from 30+ seconds to 10 flat. This requires being able to fit the MWD and have sufficient cap skills so a pilot doesn't cap out after a few jumps of MWD assisted aligns. With the skills in this plan the pilot should be able to use the MWD & DC for every warp. The Active Shield modules can't be constantly run due to cap issues, but can be used in emergencies to buy extra time for CONCORD to arrive. Adding Navigation or Evasive Maneuvers would be a bit beneficial though do not add anything new to the plan, just allow it to do things better.

Misc.

These skills are useful to tank up a pirate BS for transport but are not really critical for the plan as a whole. Also they only allow the use of the T1 versions of the LSE and PDS, these skills would need to be raised to IV to enable the T2 versions, which is one way to expand this plan.

Ship & Leadership Skills

Remapping (active) : i17 p19 c19 w27 m17

This is where to use the remap in the plan if you are only going to use one.

Leadership Skills

The Orca Requires the following leadership skills to be injected. This is where most of the training for the Orca comes from.

Orca Ship Skills

Pirate Battleship Skills

For this section the pilot needs to train the two racial ship skills needed for the pirate BS of their choice. For the sake of this example, we're using Gallente and Minmatar (for the Vindicator and Machariel), but for the Nightmare, you will want to replace these with the Caldari and Amarr skills.

With the +3 implants this finishes the training in just under 29 days. Without +3 implants this train is over 33 days.

Additional Support Skills

While not required, these skills will improve your Orca pilot's survivability and utility.

  • The Large Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II rigs can be replaced by Large Transverse Bulkhead II rigs to add additional tank at the expense of cargo capacity.
  • The Improved Cloaking Device II is optional, but can occasionally be helpful.
  • The Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Warp Drive Speed WS-608 implant is inexpensive and will further increase warp speed by 8% to about 3.3 AU/s.
