Frontier Please Reduce The Orca's Price!

Lol OP! Wait untill you will be able to walk around the ship, then u will understand why it's expensive.

Good point!, I can't wait for that!

I don't even know where to begin with this one...

Actually I don't even feel like criticizing this thread because of how easy it is...

Well, to be fair, you have evey right to, give me some criticism, and hay I love your images, I'm guessing your a fan of such?, Same here
 
It's the locked size 6 that bothers me.
It's been over a year, still no passengers, unlock the size 6 for Pete's sake.
 
Edited to a better deal.
Welcome.

Just kidding, as some said, the price is based on the fact it's an advanced ship.
Try to see this in a different, more positive way:
1) you have a goal to work to (x2, seeing it has to be outfitted, and you want spare Creds should things go sour)
2) Once you have this 100Mcr ship, you'll be the proud owner of a ship you actually worked hard for.

Right? :)


Yeah, I can agree with this, I am grinding to get my Python atm, but yeah I will LOVE to grab it, when I grind for it, and yeah I'll feel pourd owner, so yeah I'll see what I can do, but still maybe if it was 20mil or 10mil, instead of 45mil, whuold be nice.

Only due, the ship is use useless atm.

Why exactly? I think the Orca is maybe the most useless ship in the game. I checked out a couple of builds, but the Orca is outclassed in all roles by other ships for a similar (or smaller) amount of money. I have not considered buying the ship for even a fraction of a second. Making it cheaper would be a nice way to make it more attractive...

The above is just my own opinion and I don't really care what happens to the Orca. Even of they sell it for 100k, I won't buy one...

EDIT: I read the term "luxury" a lot, but I fail to see where that becomes important or even is visible...Even with passenger transportation down the line sometime, you will just buy a module for passenger transportation and fill it up with NPCs as numbers. You still won't see anything but the cockpit...maybe this will change when first-person arrives in a year or two (or three), though.

You are talking about the equivalent of an multi billionaires luxury yacht in space?
Just not for a few but a lot of people?
I think the price at it is is a bargain.

The only drawback is that it is an useless ship right now without passenger missions .... hello frontier...


Yeah, that is a good point, tho I do hope once the update comes out, the price will drop about 20-10Mil.
 
I bought one as a mining ship in Alioth. At 39mil there it is a more reasonable price and the closest thing to an Alliance ship. Join the alliance. Lol

Right on!, and yes I'll feel like that for sure, when I get it, but like I said, if it was dropped to about 20-10Mil, that be better, tho the missions need to come out first!

Feel, free just keep it Civil

Buy one from Alioth, problem solved.

Is it cheaper there or something?

yeah, this ship is the equivalent of travelling by concorde or the QE2,(Titanic from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy) it should be full of high paying customers and as such have quite high paying missions, until FD pull their fingers out and supply it with such it's kinda pointless.

I guess, but yes until they do, its pointless atm

That would make buying the Orca an almost sensible choice. To buy an Orca at its current price takes a... er... very peculiar particular kind of person. I say keep it at its current price.
I took mine to Sag A* :D

Sag A?

Keep on working hard, keep on saving and keep on dreaming, one day kid, you'll own that orca!!! By then we will hopefully have a use for it with passenger missions...

She is indeed a sleek looking yacht

Compared to a Python and above, 48mil sounds like a bargain for such a luxury liner.

Besides, working up to 50 million won't take that long. Took me about a month in my Vulture working the compromised beacons and that was only playing a couple of hours a night.

I'm working up to about 130 million so I buy a FAS fully kitted out.

Yeah, I'm working to get a Python!

part of the joy of owning an orca IS the ridiculous cost.

it's the most overpriced ship i've ever purchaced, and for sheer enjoyment factor it's worth every credit spent.

You have one?, nice!

The Orca is big (like really big) and build with luxury on top of that. Not a ship that looks to me like it should be cheap.

Ture, tho its kinder useless ATM.

Yes!

And while you're at it

Increase it's jump range to 200LY

Give it Class 24 shields

Add 7 huge hard points

Up the Power Plant and Distributor to Class 24

Then we won't need to re-visit this thread...

To answer your question about the Orca and Alioth, yes it has a 20% discount at the station Irkutsk.
20% discount on the Asp Explorer in that station too.
 
Orca...beautiful ship, completely useless. But I still want one because its gorgeous, and will be fun as hell to wander around in when we get the FPS module. Plus, its a party barge, so when you have one you can invite all your friends over for drinks! And, btw, there will be a pool & tiki bar in mine ;)
 
They make excellent haulers of class and style...
