info: 'When new lower-mass wormhole connections began appearing across Anoikis in
late YC116, ORE tasked the engineers at its advanced Outer Ring Development labs
with creating a mining foreman vessel capable of passing through these gateways
and exploiting the unspoiled riches available within. Creating such a compact
ship while preserving much of the utility of the larger Orca and Rorqual designs
proved a significant challenge, but the end result was a ship that had great potential
for capsuleer mining operations in all areas of space.
The Porpoise can use a medium industrial core to substantially increase its industrial
capabilities, while empowering its defenses during deployment in a static configuration.
A key element of the industrial capacity unlocked by activating an industrial
core is the ability to use compressor modules, with the Porpoise also having this
capability, although limited to using medium gas and asteroid ore compressors.
The Porpoise is a smaller, more mobile and more affordable mining foreman platform
that is perfect for supporting mining operations in dangerous space. It is capable
of providing support to its allies through mining foreman bursts, remote shield
boosters and survey scanners. The Porpoise also enjoys strong bonuses to mining
drones, allowing it to pull in its own share of the ore in any mining operation.'

## Summary
</div>
The Porpoise-class Industrial Command Ship is the most affordable and mobile mining foreman platform ever released in New Eden. This new ship fills the hole at the bottom of the mining foreman ship progression line. Although it shares a group with the larger and more expensive Orca, the Porpoise is as cheap as a faction battlecruiser.
Its improved agility and warp speed also make it the best choice for providing coverage of mining groups in more dangerous space where lower-cost ships minimize exposure to loss for the operation. The Porpoise is also light enough to travel through small-ship wormhole connections.
The Porpoise has the ability to equip a Medium Industrial Core in a high slot to amplify the power of Command Bursts. The Porpoise can also activate in-space compression modules for ore and gas while the core is active. Care should be taken when activating the Porpoise's core because it will prevent you from warping away for its entire 75 second cycle duration.

## Notes
</div>
The Porpoise benefits from Medium Drone Mining Augmentor I rigs significantly more than barges or other ships, due to the hull's drone bonuses. Though not explicitly stated in-game, the Porpoise is immune to Micro Jump Field Generators.
