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.
