While traveling, when your Orca starts aligning to the next gate and drops cloak, cycle your MWD once (turn it on, then off again) and your Orca will go into warp as soon as the cycle ends (10 seconds).
If you want to mine and other people are already providing boosts however, you’ll be better off mining in a barge or exhumer. The Orca doesn’t get any benefits from mining boosts. The Orca is excellent for lazy mining though since you can set each drone on a different rock, and the massive ore / cargo / fleet holds mean you don’t have to keep warping to a station to unload.
If it’s not omni resistant you wouldn’t be seeing 500k ehp now would you, given EHP is calculated against an equal spread of damage.
And it can do everything it needs to.
Of course they can. What a completely moronic answer. If you can fit 3.5 billion of compressed ore into a DST then you can fit like 8 times that in an Orca.
Your comments here are just plain wrong. Your fit is bad, and you don’t seem to understand how ehp or cargo works.
The important thing is that m3 and value do not correlate. Ore is a useful example. Look at the same m3 or tritanium and the same m3 of compressed. Both are effectively the exact same product and yet the value per m3 is wildly different.
Ore is merely an example, it’s absolute value is of no consequence.
This is wrong. Like the opposite of true sort of wrong. But again ore was only an example. There are many things you can carry using little cargo space that is worth billions in value so…
This was just the dumbest statement in the thread.
I sure hope you’re keeping a close eye on the gates before Uedama. I’m sure that after sharing your shitfit on here CODE. will be keeping an eye out for you
Sure you do
But something tells me you’re hauling between trade hubs to relist at a slightly higher margin. So you’re not really making much isk at all. Especially not with an Orca, regardless of it’s fit.
We’re referring to ehp in the fitting window, not against specific damage profiles in pyfa or against specific aggressors. So it is against omnidamage.
This is his sticking point. He won’t fit three bulkheads because it makes for a slow ship with a reduced cargo hold and he’s doing long journeys for small margins on volume. Using anything smaller than a freighter for this is basically an opportunity cost though. You’d still want to put three bulkheads on your freighter though, if you were sensible.
It is cheaper to buy the inputs needed for your manufacturing than it is to mine.
It’s free money to some botter in the blue donut. But to you unless that is you, it is better to do something else.
If you feel the need to transport ores for your industry well then it better be a highly scaled industry to be needing 400,000m3 ore hold or whatever it is in the Orca.
The moon goo ops is probably the only place I’d see for it but even then those are tightly and cooperatively controlled.
If there was money in mining and industry, I’d have gone that route instead of Pi to station trading.
Anders is the only person I talk with who seems to have industry down enough to make booku bucks.
And they seem so OCD I’m not sure it’s worth my sanity.
Especially given the long planning times of Industry.
This circuit was strictly Pi inputs where different inputs at different hubs could make you 70mil a day per planet on average. Usually 100m+ per p4 and 20-30m+ per p3 planet.
The circuit takes about 1.5hrs to fly and get everything staged for shipment into the next hop lowsec. Where all my factories were.
I’d say about 2 to 2.5 hours over all to make a few hundreds million of isk to sometimes 500m.
From operating 13 planets.
But I considered that victory and not a style of play I wanted to continue.
So moved out of Pi and parked the orca.
Moving around Ore in an orca seems like a waste in light of those margins Pi was producing.
Massive profits. Scales of 25-40% after taxes.
Just isnt worth all my game time being devoted to daily hauling and infamous pi clicking.
It doesn’t have to be ore dude. Random example. The important lessons are that m3 does not correlate to value and that an Orca fit for warp speed and align time is an unnecessary risk.
You wouldn’t choose to do it in an Orca you’d move it in a ship better suited to the task. Way to completely and utterly miss the point and to argue some tangential straw man that isn’t even related to your Orca fit being a bad choice.
Why would you do this when a single system and 20 minutes of effort a week will make you more isk? What does it have to do with your terrible Orca fit?
Our definitions of massive are apparently quite different.
