Okay Guys I want to become a Bounty hunterbut cannot decide between Gunboat and the Gunship.
I want to hunt everything upto Liners waitning for a reply
Gunship if you know how to fly it/have good aim, as the gunship only really works well with loadouts like 2 BR 2 pulse 2 cerbs/missiles, they do a lot of dammage but if you miss, they hurt your power badly.
As for the orca, its more open, but imo less powerful, as its turning is much worse.

BHG| can use House weapons, not House Ships. And in those cases it has to be RP'ed out first with official requests to the proper authorities both in the BHG| and in thee house controlling the tech we want to use.
If you are not official BHG| but an indy, do as you want according to the tech chart showiing what tech which faction can use. Just be aware that you might get the dissapproving eye (or snac) from official factions owning the tech you use..;)
I.E. The tech chart says that Mercs can use BHG weapons - But if a BHG| or BHG|Core tagged ship meets a Merc, and he doesn't have real good reasons and explanations for having aquired BH weapons (remember, we are on a Roleplaying server), we will ask him kindly to proceed under escort to the nearest civilian station and unmount it, then procure civilian weapons. If he declines that, well - then its BBQ time.;)

Out of bats, Out of bots, Out of torps - Down to harsh language...
best thing to do is to make up your mind what you want to do....
you wrote "i want to hunt anything up to a liner" - from which i assume that you ll be a lone wolf - hunting single targets.
as a matter of fact. - the most efficient ship to perform there is the bomber - not only do more bounties offer contracts on the fighter/bomber class - but people also get less upset ( in a very ooc manner ).
when you insist on using a gunboat - the orca might be better suited for you. - mostly cause it can do more things with less efford.
the orca has a decent forward cannon along with 6 turrets ( its six, isn t it? ) - offering more flexibily. - the forward cannon is great vs. slower and larger targets, - and also other gunboats - if you re good enough with it. - so the orca can be equipped better vs. more enemies, bombers or transports alike.
the gunship however has a greater survivability due to its smaller size - but you need to focus more on what you actually want to do. - it has less armour and cannot be equipped ith high end capital ship armours. - its 4 guns lower its effecitiviy somewhat - which is a direct trade off from its size and agility.
it is rather hard to SN - but when it eats a supernova, you re in deep trouble ( well, when you get hit by a SN in the orca, you re in trouble, too )
as a pure lone bounty hunter, i would suggest the orca due to its greater flexibility. - when you think you have to face many bombers though - i d possibly go for the bottlenose, cause it offers slightly more protection from its size.
in any way - gunboats exclude you from bounty hunting in kusari - bounties there are only up for shipclasses up to bombers.
