ORCA HO!!!

ref: http://myeve.eve-online.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=597

Looks like there's a new mining ship on it's way to EVE. The ORCA is a sub-capital logistics boat to help bridge the gap on the road to the (previously posted about) Rorqual.

I'm never going to fly this boat. It's best to just be honest with myself about this. This fact makes me sad, but I can't afford to train to both this and a dread/carrier. If I have to choose, and yes I have to choose, I choose the dread. But still, it looks pretty sweet............maybe I'll get to splode one of these some day........mmmmmmmm..........splosions.........

RORQUAL HO

Was just shown this video of the rorqual transforming.
A little background:
The rorqual is the first Capital Industrial ship introduced into EVE Online.
Other captials include the Dreadnaught (A gun boat of epic proportions), Carriers and Motherships (Drone / Fleet support boats, also of epic proportion) and Titans (just wow). It's hard to really capture the size of any ship in space since there's little to compare against. In this video there's asteroids in the background but there's no way to tell how big the asteroids are so that's little help. Suffice to say that the rorqual is huge and I for one got a kick out of finally seeing it transform into it's functional status. Here's the game: Can you spot the clone vat bay?
