How to fund this loadout with PLEX:
*You may only sell PLEX for ISK via the CCP Secure Transfer Method You need to upgrade your Flash Player
It's been thought up before, I know, and wormhole space has kind of lost its magic for a lot of people, but that's exactly why I'm revisiting this concept. This orca is designed to act as a mobile station for your T3 pilot(s) to drop off their sick WH lewts. It easily fits a cloak (no point in wasting cpu on the t2 since you're only going to use it when you're NOT moving) Other than that, just stuff the hangar with salvagers/bombers/probers etc. and have fun!
Now you're probably wondering what the point of the smartbomb/passive tank is. 250ish dps tank isn't alot and an active booster would double that easily right? Well, in my opinion you should be using 99% of your attention on your main's T3 trying to kill whatever's shooting your orca! You don't have time to alt-tab again and again to boost your shields and you'll probably be neuted anyway. Instead, turn the tank on, assign a flight of drones to your main, and then turn on the smart bomb and alt-tab back to your main. This will buy you 225k ehp worth of time while your main does the dps. Remember that WH's can only let so much through so hopefully that will save you from being ultra-blobbed. The best defence is avoiding action, but I think this one does a good job of taking a punch if it needs to. |

This is also about the cost of a small pos plus fittings/mods/fuel/and haulers to move it, give or take 100 mil. imo its worth the tradeoff for all the hassle it saves. No more fueling, no more nerve-wracking online/offline bullshit. Just plop it in a safe and cloak up. -

I like it, you can keep couple salvager rigged ships in the cargo too, and pvp fit ship(s) in it if you locate a target with main.... just be careful... -

Good concept, however I'd not bother with the faction mods unless for fitting requirments, if you get ambushed then likely as not it will be by something ugly enough to be able to hold you and your T3 escort (ie a HIC) and his friends will be along just afterwards so you'll probably be better off coming to an arrangement with them, or accepting the loss. -

The fitting's very tight, but I don't think the faction mods are 100% necessary, you could probably do with meta-something SB's and a core probe launcher instead. I just like the extra sb range and scan strength, since getting separated from your main is a possibility and at that point you're pretty much stuck in your orca since you can't leave it cloaked when you're not in it. -

Looks good.
To be honest, if you get caught your probably buggered unless your some sort of solo PvP god because your probably going to be looking at half a dozen well fit techII PvP ships. So I wouldn't waste money on the faction smarty. Also at a guess you'll want extender rigs in there not purgers (I'm guessing that was a mistake).
But yeah tbh I think your only defense is evasion. Should be nice enough though. -

Looks good.
The overall change is stats is negligible between purgers and extenders for this fit. Extenders give you more ehp upfront, but the purgers will regen shield over time about equal to the difference in total ehp. That's neither here nor there though, because as we both agree, #1 defense is avoidance.

haha, i loled at this tbh.
what happens when someone comes along a blows up your 'POS alternative'?
then youre in a world of shit and unless im missing something, ocras dont have a stront bay.
the best scouts and probers in eve live in WHs and you can bet one of them will find you at some point.
good luck if you actually try this but fair warning that it will end badly.

Ummm doubt it. You want lots of shield, the shield you regenerate while you die is not going to help you. -

instead of a smart bomb maybe u should put something more logistical like remote armor rep or remote hull rep in case the expensive t3 takes some hull damage. And maybe cargo expanders for the lows. Because you really don't need to tank anything. -

And more to the point I doubt you'd even have the character logged in unless you where accessing the cargo bay and if you where smart you'd be watching the d-scan like a frickin' hawk. -

exactly, and if I had even half the intelligence of a potato, I would be checking both sides of a WH before even decloaking in a boat like this.

Isn't there some silly thingy where the Ocra can use its own fitting bay anyway?
