Has there been any official word on this yet from any of the Devs that this will be a future platform? Or is this just wild EVE community speculation at this point? |

Well like said a official word would be nice 
You think he can give us word on possible skills so we can work in that direction? |

I agree; the Orca will not mine directly. It will be a mining support/Command ship for high-sec. But my guess it that it will be used for that, as well as hauling on a lesser scale than freighters (depending on the size of its cargo hold and the other industrial ship that they have coming out at the same time).
But what I would like to see are some more or better command links and implants. Preferably, command links that have a more direct affect on mining yield per cycle and not just a decrease in cycle time.
But i'm still wondering how CCP would work ore compression into an Orca and not take away from the Rorqual.

Nice find. And the ship looks pretty cool.
Too bad it's still not on SiSi. I'd like to see what the skills needed for it are.

To be honest I'm a bit concerned about the whole concept. What we want/need is a viable low sec/0.0 mining command ship, not a high sec one. Perhaps CCP can fix the rorqual as well to make it viable in its role and not a kill-board statistic? The only fun I had with the rorqual was on the test server :(.
With the Rorqual, I really think it came down to what the devs intended it to be, and how it was used once it got into the hands of users. I agree, it's under-developed for the role that it's supposed to play and, as it is currently, nothing but a big target. Will CCP fix this; I doubt it.
But, for those of us in high-sec, a ship that gives mining command bonuses and can compress ore is all we really need to facilitate the big mining ops. But, it still comes down to how devs think the ship will fit into the current world and real-world usage.
So, until SiSi gets it, we just won't know.

What i'm still concerned about are the needed stats. There is a guy in this thread stating that a bughunter found it and the needed skills are basically the same as the Rorqual, minus the jump operation skills.
To me, that just doesn't seem right because, since when does Concord like cap ships in Empire? But, then again, these just may be placeholders and the real stats are still as of yet to be reveled.
Oh well. Thanks for keeping us in the dark until the very last minute CCP. We'll just sit here and continue to speculate wildly.
