[quote='d0z3rr',index.php?page=Thread&postID=190904 #post190904]Hey Flight, what did you do with the Orca? Did it haul? Mine? Or just sit there and provide the mining boost? I have 4 accounts right now and was thinking of going with the Orca on my hauler. And also getting all the leadership skills on my hauler as well. Good idea? If you had 5 accounts and could do it over, what would you do differently?

Also, do you have to be within a certain range to get the leadership boosts?[/quote]
1. You only have to be in the same system to give leadership boosts, mate. For example, in low sec / 0.0 you will never find a Rorqual with the Mining ships - it will be safely at a PoS. I'd even be careful with an Orca and at least get some decent defence on it - even in high sec - they are a juicy target for kill mails - eg Damage Control II, Invulnerability Field II, Medium Shield Booster II and a Shield Boost Amplifier II

To get the real meat of the bonuses you will need Cybernetics V, so you can use the Mining Foreman Mindlink. This grants 15% flat bonus, then various things boost that 15% massively.


2. I wouldn't do anything differently. With 4 ships I would definitely use 3 Hulks and an Orca hauling, but I often Mine in systems with no station so I use the Orca just for boosts and the Freighter pilot in an Itty V (I may train the Jump Freighter pilot to use Orca, just so I can haul with it ).


I'm presuming you guys who mine have read Haladas Mining Guide ? [url='http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1020825']He has just released V3, which now includes Orcas[/url]

He is also expanding it way beyond Mining. He has finished chapter 1-4, with 5-11 to come soon :
