I would like CCP to develop a T2 Orca for us. It will be Red/Black, be capable of firing missiles, it has to hold twice as much as the original T1 Orca, 50% to mining foreman links per skill level, and most importantly, it has to be vertical. I think all industrial players will appreciate this ingenious idea. :)

... it has to have landing gear... CCP keeps getting that wrong. P

But now, if a T2 Orca were to get a jump drive , then that would come in handy... because strange as it sounds, it might actually (OMG!) encourage people to mine in Low Sec knowing they could light up a cyno somewhere and JTFO if it looked like they were going to get Hot-Dropped.

And while that begins to resemble a Rorq, the same can also be said of jump freighters and ordinary freighters and we have those.

Forget it -- that might actually be too much fun for a mere carebear ship.

A T2 Orca should be able to hold 4 Skiffs and launch them like mining drones.

Orca is the lower end version of the rorqual, thus, you already have your t2 orca. Troll harder.

I want a T2 orca as a mini carrier capable of 10 drones and refitting, for fleeting in high sec missions and incursions

... maybe call it... a war barge
