I saw one yesterday, just before the 3.9.1 patch.

I left the space station as it arrived. It's something you don't want to meet in the letterbox!

Yup, saw an Orca flying into either iBootis or Eranin stations just this afternoon (v 3.9.1)

I'd just left so followed it around the station, then asked to re-dock just so I could follow it inside and see it up close. She's a big ship, double-story. Looked sleek :)
 
She's a beaut thats for sure :) I found a few vids, none from inside, all NPC owned, very very elegant craft. Clearly Imperial design.
 
I have a lot of respect for the devs working on the ship designs. They really brought the ancient ships to life, like the Cobra for example; and the things they're doing with new ships are just phenomenal. Really looking forward to any and all future ships.
 
according to the e: d wiki, there's a smaller, similar looking ship in development called the dolphin - can anyone confirm this? I love the design but I don't think i'll be able to afford it anytime soon!
 
I love the blowhole, it's a great touch. :)

@Pulse - supposedly there's a smaller passenger ship called the Dolphin and a larger one called the Beluga. There's an old piece of concept art for the Dolphin.
The top ship here is an older iteration of the Orca and the bottom is the Dolphin.

I feel they're missing a trick by constantly tinkering with the ship designs to get the "perfect" shape - why not release the older versions as the "Mk 1" and so on?
Same goes for SC. I don't doubt that tinkering produces a very refined final design, but the stages along the way usually look good enough for me - extra variety would trump perfection, and having both would be cool.
 
I tried to take one down with my Sidey in 3.9.x. Got him to 50% hull [no shields?] and he jumped away!

I've been raking in the bounties and fines. I want to see if it crashes at 65536 ;)
