Information for Orca pilots
CODE. and other gankers are deliberately targeting Orcas in high sec.
There is a way to counter this by fitting an Orca with the new transverse rigs as follows:
Orca
That Orca fit is around 420,000 EHP. The damage control on that fit is very important because it adds 240% to the hull HP. That fit will boost fleet yield, armor and shield resists. To get that fit at maximum then improve your armor and shield skills and also get T2 light drone skills.
If you are using the Orca for mining support then it is recommend to get your fleet to use Procurers or Skiffs.
Anti-gank fits:
Ice Skiff
Ore Skiff
Ice Procurer
Ore Procurer
...also more fits can be found here.
With all those fits, make sure the Damage Control and Invulnerability Shield are always on.
That Procurer fit is around 65,000 EHP and the Skiff 90,000. With that much EHP those are difficult to gank. The Procurer/Skiff have the exact same yield as Retriever/Mackinaw plus they have a better speed / warp out time plus they both get 50% extra drone damage.
If you are using your Orca for hauling then if you fit Giant Secure Container in your cargo hold then those will expand the size of your hold because they are 3000 m3 volume but 3900m3 capacity when they are assembled. These can also be fitted in your fleet hanger.
