Is it worth getting an Orca? And other ships...

I've seen mixed messges about this little pretty ship but generally it doesnt seem to get much love. Is it better to just ignore or is there much point buying one?

Also, whats the next best fighting ship up from Viper/Cobra?
I considered an Asp but it's shape leaves it so vulnerable from above/below. Its like a manta ray.

Maybe the Python but I worry that the planned nerf is going to rek it hard...

Any thoughts?

personally i don't think the Orca is worth it until they add passenger cabins, even then it will only be a fun ship if you want to role play the part of interstellar coach driver. as for the Python it's such a powerful ship that even if they do nerf the heck out of it its still going to be a great ship to fly.

Hmmm, interesting snippet in Newsletter 60 where the Orca is revealed as the least piloted ship
.
Will the Orca see a resurgence when Commanders learn of its exclusive status?
.
Wonder what that means? :)

I'm almost certain it'll be for passengers.

I'm partly convinced it will be for ferrying players between locations (such as to other spaceports for ships)

I'm slightly suspicious it might also be used as a 'valuable goods' transporter, a luxury cruise liner (take x number of people around the following locations).

I'd laugh if it's being used as a high-class space brothel

Passengers are an expected (and already stated as incoming at some point) game mechanic. The wording implies something a bit more than that to me though (although I have no realistic idea what) :)

I suspect it'll become a lot more popular when we can carry passengers in actual cabins rather than crammed roughly into cargo crates.

I'd image the guys in first class would pay a lot more for a start.
