the rorqual has a hidden role bonus to run 3 gang links at the same time without command processors?

Do you guys do April fool's on the 2nd instead of the first?
I believe last year it was Friz winding us up about him leaving on this very day....

Seriously though, it it does have that bonus, that would be UBER! Serious question tiem, if you build one in Empire, can you redock and keep it there? I know you can't use gates with it, but, well, just a thought....

Also, when you build capitals in a station, can you use normal production slots to build them, or are there special locations that you have to build capitals and their components at?

Not a late april fools

You can build them in low sec stations
They can dock
They can't use gates
They can't enter or be build in high sec
They can be build in large ship maintance arrays or capital ship assembly arrays

They use special ore BPOs to compress the ore down, these can only be used with the in-build production lines on a rorqual, and you can't use the lines for anything other than ore compression. You can also load up ore into all the ships your jump hauling to increase your effective hauling capacity post op

Ref the command modules, yes I did know. I told everyone this when I first deployed it in Pure Blind about 6 weeks after the ships came out.

I think maybe only Aki was listening though

Ah, all good news, except the fact I can't build one in Adahum for corp ops.

This a plethora of belts there, could be uber for the low end production! Oh well, have to shanghai Fab for uber bonuses instead!

Sorry, Friz, but that was 6 months+ ago
