==Overview==

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, high acceleration and max speed, and is very good at strafing. 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.

It doesn't help that its large size makes it an easy target, whereas its shield and armor hitpoints are weak for a ship of this size. Nevertheless the Orca is dangerous 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.
