if you are mining in empire space i would use a frighter for les trips with the orca
after i seen your setup i try setting up one myself for some empire mining
sadly it turns out to be nearly the same as yours the only difference is

that i use tags as help for not crossing my lasers and the space for your race
is my cargo for frighter with the fleet hangar open for the orca on the other monitor i have my videos ^^

My Freighter and Orca pilot are not launched with Isboxer. Easier to manage that way for me, I like moving them around a lot. As for not crossing lasers I sort by type on them all and that prevents them from crossing.

Another side benefit of using a secondary hauler is that your boosts from the Orca are never interrupted. With good positioning and a perfect Orca booster you can park at a bookmark in almost any belt and be in range of everything. I recommend putting a tank on the Orca and your miners and using the Shield Harmonizing gang link. The cap link is entirely unnecessary. Max yield fitting is a bad idea right now.

i aggre with you mining without tank is a bad idea but with some research even in empire
someone can find systems with a local count below 5 ^^ (without my fleet logged in)
and nearly 15 belts in my orca is a bad guy named Mephisto a heavy assult missile tengu
rdy to attack anyone that attcks me + each on gives shield drones to another the drones are a hassel
l but since i dont have to move thanks to my perfect orca + frighter i only need to assing the drone 1 time per belt
