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 only one Multiple Character Training license. Additionally, there are skills for either moving the pirate battleships or suitcasing wormhole goods. This plan is not intended for 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.
Skill plan
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. The base skill plan outlined below only requires one remap to Wisdom-Charisma-Perception for the leadership skills. If you are training your Orca pilot alt to ferry Incursions battleships, you'll want to add those battleship skills at the end of your skill plan. If you are training your Orca pilot alt to to suitcase, you'll want to add those support skills to the other support skills before remapping for leadership skills.
Phase 1: Support skills
Orca support skills
No remap for this part, add option 2 to this list for suitcasing

Tactical Shield Manipulation II Tactical Shield Manipulation III Tactical Shield Manipulation IV Shield Management II Shield Management III Hull Upgrades III Hull Upgrades IV Mechanics III High Speed Maneuvering II High Speed Maneuvering III Warp Drive Operation II Warp Drive Operation III Acceleration Control II Acceleration Control III Jury Rigging I Shield Upgrades II Energy Grid Upgrades II
Cybernetics
All new characters start with Cybernetics I which enables you to use implants. Plug in +3 implants of all types at the start. The skill plan cannot be completed within 30 days without the +3 implants.
Tank skills
The Orca hull tanks with a secondary shield tank. Hence Hull Upgrades IV and Mechanics are key for a proper Orca tank.
- Tactical Shield Manipulation IV (4x) (3 days, 15 hours, 26 minutes)
- Shield Management III (3x) (11 hours, 35 minutes)
- Hull Upgrades IV (2x) (1 day, 19 hours, 43 minutes)
- Mechanics III (1x) (3 hours, 10 minutes)
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.
- High Speed Maneuvering III (5x) (19 hours, 19 minutes)
- Warp Drive Operation III (1x) (3 hours, 51 minutes)
- Acceleration Control III (4x) (15 hours, 27 minutes)
- Jury Rigging I (2x) (14 minutes)
Misc.
- Shield Upgrades II (2x) (1 hour, 22 minutes)
- Energy Grid Upgrades II (2x) (1 hour, 22 minutes)
Phase 2: Ship & Leadership skills
Remapping (active) : i17 p19 c19 w27 m17
This is where to use the remap in the plan.

Leadership skills
The Orca Requires the following leadership skills to be injected. This is where most of the training for the Orca comes from.
- Leadership I (1x) (6 minutes, 45 seconds)
- Mining Foreman V (2x) (9 days, 14 hours, 37 minutes)
- Mining Director I (5x) (33 minutes, 47 seconds)
Orca ship skills
- Spaceship Command V (1x) (4 days, 15 hours, 32 minutes)
- ORE Hauler III (4x) (14 hours, 24 minutes)
- Industrial Command Ships I (8x) (54 minute, 3 seconds)
Phase 3, option 1: Pirate battleship skills
For this section the pilot needs to train the two racial ship skills needed for the pirate battleship of their choice.
Gallente/Minmtar - Pirate battleship skills

- Minmatar Battlecruiser III (6x) (21 hours, 37 minutes)
- Minmatar Battleship I (8x) (54 minutes, 3 seconds)
With the +3 implants, this finishes the training in just under 29 days. Without +3 implants, this train is over 33 days.
Phase 3: option 2: Suitcase
These skills will help provide better tank and utility needed to safely get goods to k-space or a new wormhole system.
