Given that the Orca is considered a capital industrial ship(http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Capital_Industrial_Ship), and it is made with capital components, I propose that the Orca get a jump drive, or at least the creation of a jump drive module that can be only fit on orca's.
The Benefit of this is that it would be extremely helpful for small alliance logistics in 0.0. Jump freighters currently are the only viable option for 0.0 logistics and they cost around 5B, which is alot for a small alliance. Giving the orca a jump drive capability would be an intermediate step on the road to a jump freighter.
If this sounds "overpowered" there is always the black ops option and making an orca's jump range shorter(say 3ly base).
Making a ship with a 100k m3 cargo capacity and jump drive that costs under 500M would encourage more alliances to roam into 0.0 because the logistics would become more feasible.
(the other option is a T2 orca with jump drive that costs around 1B, which is stil far better then the 5B for a JF)

I dont think I would agree to this.
1. The orca skill is way too easy to achieve. Thus nobody would ever skill up to the big freighter. 10 orca jumps vs 1 big one.
2. It would make everyone do 'tiny' jump runs and the posibility of getting jumped and isk vs reward would fall. Thus giving a 0.0 corp more 'power' over logistics coming to high sec.
I liked the 'initial idea' but I think if something like this were to happen then: 1. The skill for putting no a jump drive to an orca would have to be very long, and the restrictions on cargo when this happens would have to decrease or not.
Not supported for those reasons.

i do not support this, i believe what you are looking for already exists.. its called a Rorqual :)
def more expensive but not close to the cost of a JF, but will hold almost as much (actually more if you are dealing with compressed ore)
