As a Saud Kruger ship, it is capable of carrying luxury suite cabins exclusive to this brand. Since this ship is not intended for combat or exploration, the class 6 internal compartment as well as the first class 5 internal compartment are limited in what modules can be installed: only [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Cargo_Rack cargo racks], [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Passenger_Cabin passenger cabins], or [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Hull_Reinforcement_Package hull reinforcement packages] or [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/module_Reinforcement_Package module reinforcement packages] . | ||

It has a remarkably high turn rate and high acceleration, and even--unlike the [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Clipper Imperial Clipper], which has similar maneuverability--a very powerful strafing ability. However, its relatively small power plant and limited hardpoint capacity prevents it from becoming a great combat ship. Nevertheless the Orca is dangerous indeed in the hands of a skilled pilot and is not to be underestimated. | ||
The hardpoint placement of the ship is as follows: all 3 hardpoints are located on the underside of the ship. The large hardpoint is placed in front of the front landing gear, whereas the 2 medium hardpoints are located side by side behind the large hardpoint. | |||
