Your videos give me some sort of strange nostalgia for the game. They make me want to climb into my ship, strap into my seat, and appreciate the surroundings of the bridge before punching the boost and screaming out of the mailslot. After watching these, I bought, outfitted, and engineered a Krait Phantom to fly out to the galactic core. I look forward to the next episode.
Another amazing video! The Orca is my favourite ship for doing stupid PvP fights, as with 2 packhounds and a reverb cascade torpedo it can actually do some heavy hitting, plus you just know the priceless expression on someone's face when they are smashed to pieces and get their modules shredded - by a cruise ship.
Oh man now I can't help but imagine a bunch of pirate boats encircling a Concordia sized cruise liner, all sparkling white, tinted glass and luxury...only for the cruise liner to open up two huge, double-barrel gun turrets and obliterating them only to continue it's evening program like nothing happened.
We bought the Orca, built it out, built a pillow fort spaceship in our living room, and flew from the bubble to Sag A* last Sunday because of this video. We’d never gone more than 1.6k LY before. Excellent channel, excellent review, and a wonderful exploration ship. We traveled in luxury, immune to worry or heat damage with room for all the niceties.
The Pilot it was super fun! We watched your Krait Mk 2 and orca videos to pick our ship. 60k LY in 11 hours was intense! But your videos talking about experiencing the galaxy were super true, we loved seeing the stars change as we jumped and then the neutron highway home was stressful but fun.
An exploration build Orca with a single passenger cabin dropped in makes an excellent choice for long range passenger missions (which are really just excuses to go exploring, knowing there's an extra payoff and eye candy at the destination). It's a fun ship. Great video as always!
FD knew what they were doing. Ramming is how Orcas kill things irl too and they are extremely fast and manoeuverable for their weight (6 tons). Dolphins are the best ramming ship in the small ship category. They can even ram medium sized ships to death. Given that ramming can obliterate a hull faster than any other weapon, both are assassin ships in disguise
When you said someone British must be responsible for this, I knew I must have one. It's getting bought when I get home. Still waiting for the Eagle to get the Pilot treatment. Loving your stuff so far. :)
Yeah, been mining with a python, but I've been theorycrafting on building a mining orca just for shit and giggles... And by looking on sites like coriolis turned out that it is actually viable. It has more room for the stuff you need and twice the cargo you can put on the python. I'm gonna do it!
I bought an Orca about 2 weeks ago. One week ago I took on my first ever long-distance passenger jobs. 3 in all, starting from Newholm Station in Sothis; One to "the top of the galaxy", and two further north beyond the core. It took 5 days of 6-10 hour shifts just jumping to get to the first destination. ... I had to take a detour to Colonia which extended the trip by 2 days and over 9k LY. Because I forgot to install AFMUs before leaving the Bubble. .... Don't tell my passengers. One day took me to the last two destinations, and then all the way to one jump Sagittarius A. I shared that view with a friend this morning. It was my first time seeing Sagittarius. Or any black hole even. I think from this trip, I will cherish my Orca. First time I got more than 5k out of the Bubble. First time I saw space caltrops, visited Colonia, went inside a nebula... It's been a huge amount of time just jumping and plotting, and it'll probably be another 3-4 days just jumping back home... but it's given me a lot of memories no other ship I've flown has.
I'm doing an exploration trip in one of these. I like the dim flight deck compared to the Krait Phantom, it's just as maneuverable with a tiny bit less jump range. Plus I get to head canon that everyone onboard is a hell of a lot more comfy than on a Phantom.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. I've only recently discovered your channel, and it's great. These all have such quality. I'd love to see the Eagle Mk. II or Viper Mk. IV o7
I remember I went out exploring and I found a spot for a Thargoid, when I jump in to check it out he was harvesting a Beluga, I just noped out of there real quick
Great review! I personally love the Orca for exploration. Tried both the Asp and Phantom (great ships!) but they didn't quite do it for me. I think it's the relatively cramped cockpits. Anyway, switched to the Orca and it was love. Just a beautiful view out of the cockpit. Reminds me of the massive view screens from star trek. Currently am setup with exactly 60.01ly jump range with room for 8 tons of cargo, and it truly feels like I'm taking an expeditionary crew out into space, on some 5-year mission. Love it!!
You didn’t mention the fasten seatbelt ding that goes off when you hit the boost. It took me way to long to figure out that’s what it was. Personally I used an orca as a rescue ship. Why? Because it was the only thing I had available
I loved my big red orca which I called the "small rouge one". Stripped down and fully engineer jump and dirty drives she really is fun to go exploring.
I use mine to rank grind doing station evacuations. That sleek shape makes it easy to land on burning stations while still having reasonable passenger capacity. With the right paint job it looks like a space ambulance too
OK fun fact, every ship in this game is designed by frontier with the interior in mind. AND the new upcoming update “Odyssey” you WILL be able to walk around on planets, so even if the end of Odyssey is in Q4 2021 we should be able to walk around in Ships and Stations and that makes me so HYPE
This is my exploration ship currently. With the new 5A modified FSD from the human broker, I can load this sucker out for full exploration and get a 64ly jump range while. That's with a class 5 luxury cabin fit so I can pretend I sleep in it every night lol. I had no idea it was this good at exploration till recently. All those previous trips I could have done in pure luxury...
I've just spent the past 4 months out in the black in my Orca and it's a good ship to fly. Gets about 55ly and I don't have much engineering on anything aside from the FSD, and it's got a couple SRV's for exploring planets and collecting xenobiology data.
I love waking up to these videos. They are epic. I love the wit and the humour. Also I'm English lol that comment was just too funny. Keep up the good....no great work. Maybe a mamba next? Or crusader? Wait no ...the cutter?
I have flipped through many a ship... But i always end up coming back to my Orca. I have yet to find anything as satisfying as flying this amazing ship. It handles waaaaay better than stats dictate.
The "Orca" is for want of a better comparison, a slicked out Mercedes sliding among the stars at literally breakneck speeds. She's sleek, fast and maneuverable. So named, she's a fast fish in the waters of space. This little ship can be a very fun little ship to fly when it concerns exploring the Galaxy. And she does it in style. She doesn't stand up to much a fight when it comes to combat as she has only two hardpoints so don't go getting into a fight with this little ship. She's got minimal shielding and little if no armor plating that could stand up to many direct strikes. But she makes an ideal passenger ship if you're looking to ferry passengers around the galaxy or rescue civilians from dangerous situations. So she has a lot of room on her. The luxury liner of the stars.
Sounds like Frontier should take a page from the old SW Galaxies game and make ships explorable and maybe even customizable player-homes. I wouldn't mind space stations to have explorable sections too like the Mass Effect series.
I did two simultaneous passenger missions in my Orca once.....from the bubble to colonia....never again.....asking for stuff when you're 5,000 light years from anything will get you dumped into space
You have a real talent for telling a compelling story both visually and verbally....but it would be nice to get a little more concrete info in these ship "reviews".
When Saud Kruger heard that people were retrofitting their Orcas for exploration, it was a bit confusing, but why not travel in style! When Saud Kruger heard that people were retrofitting their Orcas for combat . . . by way of ramming . . . they had a heart attack.
It did surprise me on how well the Orca can move. I've still got my ship, and do so runs with it. It was even my main rescue ship for a long time. Please do the Type 10 next, or the Beluga Liner.
I hope you do. I went from a few combat ships like the Viper 3 to the Vulture to the Fer-De-Lance... And ended up stuck in my Orca simply because it feels so dang good to fly. One thing of note is that docking takes some getting used to... It handles so well and stops on an absolute dime. You will love it. :)
@@TE72GOD I bet I will like it. I only been having the game for a few days now. Its totally incredible! So far I only have a sidewinder and a hauler. I was eyeing up the Orca before I even owned the game. Those Saud Kruger designs are just impressive Truely "rich men's" starliners. I would be happy with the smallest one I believe its a Dolphin.
I own two Saud Kruger Ships: a Beluga (because it looks good and is big) and a Dolphin (THATS a great Explorer, with good Range and many optional Slot.....and it looks great). The Orca is interesting, but it should be medium that would be great.
Agreed. It should be a medium ship. But I still think the Orca is the better Exploration ship. Slots for everything, and a better range than the Dolphin.
It's by far my favourite ship in the game, and I use it exclusively for exploration. For what it's worth, I can fit everything I want for exploration, plus two cabins, and still get >60 ly jump range... :D
Four years later...5000 hull, 630m/s boost, 2 modified shard cannons and a large turreted thermal vent beam, and the largest hardpoint of the ship itself= $15 Billion in Thargoid bonds. Because its silly fun
Well, what’s stopping you from fitting a one person luxury cabin and using that as your personal quarters while exploring? Afterall, who’s going to stop you?
I hope Frontier has plans to add explorable and functional ship interiors after releasing Odyssey. Their road map so far seems to be mirroring, or at least resembling that of competitor games of the same genre, but they have the advantage of putting such content into an already fully playable game. The world of new content that ship interior content would add, is huge. Especially when so many ships and mission types feel so empty and unfulfilling in their current state. Military Drop Ships that literally drop nothing, except 'The Ball'. Cruiseliners with next to zero cruiseliner functionality. Passenger missions might be more fun if part of your job dealt with the business/customer side of things, instead of only having the options to either make out of the way pit stops, or stopping by a station because a passenger wants to buy some food. It's a cruiseliner! Why the hell aren't WE serving food? I've been on cruise ships. You can't ask the captain to stop at a port because you want a taco, nor pay less because they refuse. Passenger missions need a complete rework. Base mission pay, b/c the passengers should buy the ticket before boarding. Then add things to do on the trip that can affect passenger gratuity. Use a module to add a certain number of amenities, based on module size. Hire and edit crew functions, etc. Everything Elite could be, it's only about 10% of that. At least let me use the damn coffee pot on the bridge. Why is it even there?
Just found these videos and I'm in love. As a newish CMDR it's super helpful and also just really entertaining. Any chance you could do a video on my sweet baby boi Adder next?
Hi Pilot, big fan and I just wish I could be as good as you. Your music, knowledge and detailed narrative are fantastic! I wish I had at least have of your success. Keep doing what you are doing.

Stellar work (no pun intended), as per usual. Can’t wait for a review of my beloved DBX or Krait Mk II!
Great as usual, and you really keep'em coming, don't you? Keep it up, every upload is like a mini-x-mas. Love it!

Still waiting for the Eagle to get the Pilot treatment. Loving your stuff so far. :)
The Orca is my favourite core miner by far. Fast, maneuverable, enough space, high jumprange under full load and fantastioc view.
Wait really?
Yeah, been mining with a python, but I've been theorycrafting on building a mining orca just for shit and giggles... And by looking on sites like coriolis turned out that it is actually viable. It has more room for the stuff you need and twice the cargo you can put on the python. I'm gonna do it!

great video as always! keep up the good work.
It's AMAZING that you wrote the bit about ramming other ships before Earth-Orcas started doing it!
1:03 Not that you could anyways. As your spine is manufactured into the seat, and standing up would involve ripping the spinal column in half.

Let's see if the oddessy update let us go walking in our ship and decorate the inside of it or possibly add intruder or boarding features.
The "Orca" is for want of a better comparison, a slicked out Mercedes sliding among the stars at literally breakneck speeds. She's sleek, fast and maneuverable. So named, she's a fast fish in the waters of space. This little ship can be a very fun little ship to fly when it concerns exploring the Galaxy. And she does it in style. She doesn't stand up to much a fight when it comes to combat as she has only two hardpoints so don't go getting into a fight with this little ship.

But she makes an ideal passenger ship if you're looking to ferry passengers around the galaxy or rescue civilians from dangerous situations. So she has a lot of room on her.

I now have two. One is a ram-ship named "Free Willy". The other is built for exploration for high paying passengers.
I'm sad you didn't mention the numerous pirate orca roaming the black lol. Well done again. o7
Are you going to do the ship-launched fighters as well?
Probably
Very nice video buddy! Liked and shared for you on twitter! See you next time. 👍👊😀

Another great video. Officially changing my orca's name to ghost ship because of this.
Poppy music, excellent narration and I learn new things looking at juicy visuals. What's not to like?
What do you mean, without passenger cabins? I design an orca on Coriolis that pushes sixty with them.
Another great video. You sir, are the maestro of Elite Dangerous.

And don't forget, this liner is in the top 1% of all liners out there!
