Everyday in New Eden, untold numbers of Orcas are slaughtered for no legitimate reason. Orcas, or killer whales, are truly majestic creatures and are the largest member of the Mining Family. In the wild, they live in complex and cohesive family groups called pods. The pods are highly structured with an orca usually leading a large pack of lesser animals. The clans live in asteroid and ice belts throughout New Eden trying to live peacefully eking out a merge living in the pursuit of industry. These Orcas, however, are being hunted to near extinction.
It is no surprise that CCP has little regard for the Orca. CCP being an Icelandic Company reflects the utter disregard that the Icelandic people have for whales. Despite near universal condemnation, the people of Iceland have continued to whale hunting fueled by a near pathological hatred of whales. (I have it on good authority that Icelandic children are taught from an early age to hate two (2) things: whales and the European Union). It is this near maniac pathological hatred of whales that has continued to fuel CCPGÇÖs attitude toward the Orca.
Clearly, the Orca is the king fish of the ice and asteroid belt. There is simply no legitimate reason why it should not be able to defend itself from the hordes that wish to see it extinct. With a hull bigger then many battleships for what legitimate reason does it not have turrets? And why is it so lumbering? As anyone can tell you, in the wild the Orca is a speedy water bourn missile with sharp killing teeth. It is totally immersion breaking that its space cousin is a defenseless lumbering beast.
What can be done? If you believe as I do, that the whales must be saved, then there must be decisive action. Greenpeace has shown the way. Gorilla action is necessary. Letter writing and fund raising campaigns are a necessity. If we get enough funds we can purchase another Rainbow Warrior to harass the hunters until they give in. But that is all in the short term. Until those whale hating miscreants in CCP learn that it is unacceptable that 600mil isk ships are utterly defenseless, nothing will be done. |

If it could fit a turret they would fill it with mining lasers. |

By the time you realize it happened, it'll be too late. Should have used protection.

So true. An orca is a capital ship, as such it should have capital guns. Ofc it needs a tracking role bonus to hit those tiny little ships that harass it so.
Edit: Ofc those bastards in CCP are just going to mumble something about balance and op - but that clearly is just more icelandic whale hatred. |

Uhhhhhh? Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

... is pretty sure the whales will outlive the EU... since whales tend not to implode of their own volition.

I have often said to myself that the orca is one of the most underpowered ships in the game. It clearly needs some love. Putting aside everything else it should have warp bubble immunity so that it can fulfill its role of being in command of the belts. After all how can it effectively run mining ops if it cant get to systems its supposed to be in?
OFC CCP will probably ignore the continued legitimate needs of a very important ship in favor of making for desy skins. Whale hatters.

Quote:5. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote. Thread closed.
