I am a little confused with Orca. It seems like a Swiss army knife. But how would one used it.

What is it good For,
Absolutely noooothing,
WAAAHAAA! YEA!
As a side note, its got two uses. 1. Transporting rigged hacs etc, and 2. As a 'jet can' for a mining op.

The Orca tries to be too many different things and in the end does NOTHING well.
The ship bay is too small to hold even a single battleship, making it useless.

If it WERE a swiss army knife you could fit a battleship in it (okay, maybe that statement makes no sense in RL but wtf I'm all dizzy with staring at "not accepting connections")
As it is now, its useless to me. As a sort of mobile base for a BS, it might have been neat. --

Increased drone bay: RAH! It can actually scratch the paint on a frigate.
Can fit 3 gang modules: RAH! But it can only activate 1 at a time. Too bad all three suck.
It can haul lots of stuff: RAH! It does have a use! It aligns like a freighter and moves marginally faster (hey, identical to the newly neutered Battleships!)
Yeah, it's got potential... but that's about it.

well, even if it's not
- a hauler, since you need completely different skills as for freighter. Shipbay to small for one single BS - it's not preferable as looter/salvager, cause it only has 3 highs, is damn slow and takes a lot of weird skills for a combat pilot
it still is cool for mining ops. I don't mine :)

The ORCA is an industrial command ship.
It provides fleet bonuses for mining, a hauler for ore. Its usefull in Highsec Only.
It is not a capital ship, it does not have a jump drive.

I could almost see that... You could have a couple guys in salvage-destroyers, dumping into it as they get full (instead of the warps back and forth to station, across all manner of gates, etc)
Cheaper to use a badger for that, tho. Depends on how valuable you see the 'neat' factor of dumping into a hanger on the ship I suppose?

Morons complaining that it can't carry enough pvp ships, its not meant to. Its for carrying fitted / rigged barges. The Orca is meant to be a mining buddy / hauler not a pvp logistics mobile, you've got carriers for that. -----

Training my alt toward Orca as soon as he finishes Freighters V.
For someone like me who mines with two accounts - a hulk and a hauler - the Orca is great 'cause now I get gang links too, and it only has to go the station a third as often. ---

yep, looks pretty clearly to be that. maybe trit will go down in price.
was really wanting low end ore compression. I'm hoping this wasn't the 'midas' patch because i'm not seeing much for industrial players, no major changes to mining, no changes to resources, no stock market, other than a new splash screen and a change to missiles & nano-hacs I'm not quite sure what this patch brought.
My opinion may change once the first Orca is built and I can play with it, but right now, I don't see it.

There are countless games in the world. There are at least as many ppl that dont like one or more rules of said games. That never stopped smart game designers from creating good games.

I am trying to figure what would give more mining yields:
1.
Mining with 2 maxed hulks (skills) and 'normal' mining bonus. Warp with one char to get the orca to haul everything out and resume mining with the 2nd account.
2.
Mining with 1 maxed hulk (skills) and put the second account in the Orca giving out max mining bonusses with command links running.
