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

Summary

The Rorqual is a capital industrial ship. It's typical role is supporting mining operations by providing Mining Foreman ganglinks and compressing ore. Due to its inability to enter highsec its fleet boosting role is taken over by the Orca, although the improvements to yield are less.


It has the ability to fit a capital tractor beam which could be used in conjunction with 'Jet Can' mining, which allow it to pull cargo containers of ore to it before compression, but due to the high price of the Rorqual many favour keeping them within the relative safety of a POS. Instead they opt for using less expensive ships for the tractor beaming of cans (Noctis), and using a industrial ship or freighter to pick up the ore. The Rorqual does have the ability to compress ore whilst running its industrial core. Compression is important as it reduces the volume of significantly. The for large mining operations with higher volumes of ore Rorqual's compression ability is but overshadowed by the compression array. The compression array is a structure that can be anchored within a POS and in comparison can hold considerably larger quantities of ore, allowing for larger quantities of ore to be compressed at once.


The Rorqual is a very capable ship with many tools to assist miners but with better alternatives available many miners only use Rorquals for its bonus to mining foreman links.

Fitting

Tactics

•Rorquals can activate their 'Industrial Core I' module within the relative safety of a POS's (Player Owned Starbase) Shield.

Notes

• Rorquals cannot enter into High Security Space.
