The Spanish Inquisition - no-one expects an Orca to start spitting DEATH

Alright diggers, now pay attention.

Some of you have been complaining that the action is boring and poses no challenge; I say to you, diggers, that you are wrong.

Yes, you're doing it wrong. You're out there in your Vultures and your Asps, your Vipers and your Pythons; thinking you are men, women or small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri; but you are not.

You are amateurs.

Buy yourself an Orca. Fit weapons as you wish; I used a C3 Gimbaled Beam Laser and 2x C2 Plasma Accelerators.

Yes, it's slow.

Yes, it turns like a sleepy cow.

But take it to a Resource Site, and start carving up big ships; you will be cackling with glee as you rake in credits. The Orca can take a pounding, especially with some Hull Strength modules, and twin Plasmas just rip things to pieces in one or two shots. It really is like the say on Radio Sidewinder - BANG! And the pirate's gone!

I made 0.5Mcr in about half an hour; yes, yes, yes, a Vulture can make money quicker.

However can there be any sight as glorious as cutting yet another Python in half while you sip a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster in a purple velvet chaise-lounge, with Radio Sidewinder on the Whump, Olafsen & Marshall 11.1 surround-sound holocube set?

I say to you, diggers, especially you Vulture pilots with the greasey-burger-stained flight suits and the rash that just won't go away, there is not. There is nothing finer.

You know it makes sense.

Lovely sales pitch Mr Kruger ;)
 
I might just sell my anaconda to try the orca experience now, sir. You have convinced me of the glory of the orca. Fight like a sir!
 
Could be fun distraction until they make the AI actually try and win fights (The AI seems intelligent but it looks like it was coded to let me win every time...)

When I start exploring uncharted space it's going to be in a blinged out Orca with furry seats, velvet wall panels, and palladium toilets with painite studded flush handles.

Have to keep the pimp hand strong in case you make first contact with a new species of alien.

The Orca is one of my goals in this game. I'm a long way away and I really only want one as a status symbol.
I'm hoping by the time I can afford one, walnut dashboard add-ons and a butler will be available in the store.
