You think they cant do it? cos I think they can. I think at this point any smart miner has to accept they are going to lose their ship at some point and factor its loss into their business model as an operating expense. Thats what Im doing with my badgers.

I think there is no chance for 12 cats to explode 260k ehp orca with 80-ish % of resist across the board. Not in hisec at least. That is all I'm saying.

Everything can and will be exploded sooner or later question is whether or not gank squad is looking only for lolz or lolz+drops+kb efficiency. Former has no price but latter is ruled by pure math of maximum gain at minimum cost. And you have better chances for drops when ganking multiple hulks with 2-3 cats each than spend them all on 1 orca. Besides for RP and PR purposes mass murdering hulks is better than proving orca gankable (which doesn't require proof as we already established everything is gankable)

The maths agree, in a 0.5 with a Concord time to kill of 19-24 seconds*, it'd require at least 21 600 dps Catalysts at 10M a pop, some people get 700+ with implants I believe.

*depending on if Concord is moved prior to the gank or not, Concord times grabbed from Tippia

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

And some people fly orca with links :)
Again, gankable - of course, profitable - depends, fun factor - priceless :)
