planning to use it to move my covert Ops frigates around and my battle cruiser

even though I'm not a big fan of mining the changes coming to that ship it's something I should not ignore

one of my goals in mind is make the logistics less of a pain in the ass I don't want to go back 7 jumps to pick up a battle cruiser every time I find a combat site or whatever ship I need at the time

Yes, a BC will fit. Only one though.

It has an SMB (Ship Maintenance Bay) which holds 400,000 cubic meters of unpacked ships. Right click on a ship you wish to carry, select "Show info", and look in the "Attributes" tab for the "Volume" stat. Compare that number to the 400K SMB on the Orca. The Orca should be able to handle at least one BC and still have some room left over for another smaller ship or two depending on size, such as a cruiser. Off the top of my head, the Minmatar BC's are the lightest, usually sitting at just over the 200K mark in unpacked volume. Cruisers are generally around half that each. Again, that's assuming we are talking about unpacked, possibly rigged, ships being held in the Orca via the SMB.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

NP. Fly safe.
