The Rorqual was conceived and designed by Outer Ring Excavations in response to a growing need for capital industry platforms with the ability to support and sustain large-scale mining operations in uninhabited areas of space. To that end, the Rorqual's primary strength lies in its ability to grind raw ores into particles of smaller size than possible before, while still maintaining their distinctive molecular structure. This means the vessel is able to carry vast amounts of ore in compressed form. Additionally, the Rorqual is able to fit a capital tractor beam unit, capable of pulling in cargo containers from far greater distances and at far greater speeds than smaller beams can. It also possesses a sizeable drone bay, jump drive capability and the capacity to fit a clone vat bay. This combination of elements makes the Rorqual the ideal nexus to build deep space mining operations around. Due to its specialization towards industrial operations, its ship maintenance bay is able to accommodate only industrial ships, mining barges and their tech 2 variants SHIP BONUSES Capital Industrial Ships bonuses (per skill level): 5% reduction in fuel consumption for Industrial Core 10% bonus to Mining Foreman Links effectiveness when using Industrial Core 50% bonus to Capital Remote Shield Booster range 20% bonus to Drone hitpoints and damage Role Bonus: 900% bonus to Survey Scanner range 200% bonus to Cargo Scanners range • Can fit Industrial Core • Can fit Clone Vat Bay • Can use 3 Warfare Link modules simultaneously Required Skills Capital Industrial Ships I1h 40m Advanced Spaceship Command V29d 15h 6m Spaceship Command V5d 22h 13m Industrial Command Ships III1d 11h 33m Spaceship Command V5d 22h 13m [[Skills:ORE Industrial III]]unknown rank Spaceship Command III4h 26m Mining Director I41m Leadership I8m Mining Foreman V11d 20h 26m Leadership I8m Capital Ships II11h Advanced Spaceship Command V29d 15h 6m Spaceship Command V5d 22h 13m Industrial Reconfiguration I33m Advanced Mass Production IV8d 9h 8m Mass Production V11d 20h 26m Industry III4h 26m Capital Ships II11h Advanced Spaceship Command V29d 15h 6m Spaceship Command V5d 22h 13m Jump Drive Operation I41m Navigation V5d 22h 13m Warp Drive Operation V5d 22h 13m Navigation I8m Science V5d 22h 13m Training Time what's this? 88d 20h 56m 54s Estimated training time only for the listed skills based on zero implants and without neural remaps.

Summary

The Rorqual is a capital industrial ship. It can be used as a booster and support ship in an asteroid belt, using its capital tractor beams to pull in jetcans while fitting mining gang links to boost productivity. However, this role has been more or less taken over by the Orca, which can do all of that and is a much less expensive ship to risk out in the open. The Rorqual's other role, which cannot be done by any other ship, is to use its industrial core to compress ores to make them more efficient to transport.
