Orca: Difference between revisions

The '''Orca''' is a large ship manufactured by Saud Kruger and is currently one of three available passenger ships, the others being the [[Beluga Liner]] and the [[Dolphin]]. 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, its class 6 internal compartment and one class 5 internal compartment are limited in what modules can be installed: only [[Cargo Rack]]s, [[Passenger Cabin]]s, [[Hull Reinforcement Package]]s, or [[Module Reinforcement Package]]s may be installed.

Where officially its maneuverability is slightly better than an [[Anaconda]] and worse than a Beluga Liner, in practice the Orca handles far better than this rating suggests. It has a remarkably high turn rate and high acceleration, and even a very powerful strafing ability, unlike the [[Imperial Clipper]]. 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.
