So you can choose to be super defensive and improve survivability or be more productive with the existing command burst charges.
Forget the gas part... the stuff I'm quoting would be abused badly by any savvy pilot.
On the other hand... I wouldn't mind seeing rigs and command burst ammo to help in actual gas mining, that way you could just use the Porpoise for its purpose -- miner enhancement (regardless of mining type). Changing the ship itself isn't necessary. Add in Huffing Drones if you like, but good gas sites need decent protection, and you're not sig-tanking in a Porpoise, so the ship's drone abilities aren't going to waste.

AFAIK, Gas can be stored in ore holds which the Porpoise has. See the Venture or Miasmos.

Nowadays we get ... for everything. TIL Mining links work on gas. Thanks!
Ditto! Off to test!

There is not one specialized bonus that makes the Porpoise better than the Orca. The only thing that gives it any role at all is it's innate smaller size, speed and cost. which gives it some use in small gang operations in WH or dangerous space.
The fact that they also both require the exact same skills means that, in most cases, investing in a Porpoise means you are just too poor to make a proper investment towards an Orca, or are in too weak a position to protect it.
Porpoises can much more easily go into wormholes without collapsing them, and are hella cheaper, and therefore expendable.
Everything else is just cake.
Eat it or have it... pick one.
