Erm... they're two different ships for two different jobs. However, overall, I'd say Orcas are useful in moredifferent situations. Why? A gazillion reasons really. It's a viable and relatively gank-safe transport ship, mobile station and refitting center for wormholes or fleet operations, gang link support and more. plus, you can always replace a command ship with a refitted T3, but you'll have a hard time finding a viable replacement for an Orca.

Not sure if the Eos has any pro's at the moment, being one of the most confused and broken ships in game.

Which is better in the long run, a hamburger or a pair of headphones?

They're different ships with different roles. If I want something that can haul ships and stuff and help boost mining, I'll take the Orca. If I want something that can deal DPS, I'll take the Eos.

Well, a hamburger would taste pretty good now. But if its from a restaurant of ill repute, I will probably pay for it later...
Plus I'd say you'd get more longevity out of the headphones.

Hows my posting? Call 1-800-747-7633 to leave feedback.

It all depends on how you eat a hamburger. I like to take little nibbles out of mine and try to get it perfectly circular. Then I leave it for a week until mould starts to form (I love me some hairy hamburgers!). Then when I feel the mould levels are sufficient I will finish off the hamburger. At any point in that 1-2 week period, I could have dropped my headphones or accidentally broken them. This is all dependant on events that could/could not happen of course, and the headphones may survive making this whole thing a massive gamble. I would pick the hamburger though.

I have never owned an Orca, but of the 2....at least I know I could sell the Orca to someone when I was done with it. Not so sure about the Eos...

I do own an Eos. I have never put it into a fight, because almost every other ship in game seems like a better idea, when it comes time to undock.

I believe that even in this case Orca can be a viable option.

It's just a piece of meat placed between two pieces of bread. It's as good or bad and healthy or unhealthy as you make it.

When it could launch 5 heavies it was super OP. Sadly they changed that and forgot everything else about the ship was trash.
