The high weight and calorific value of the ORCHID generator made it impractical for use in many designs that stresses on the combination of mobility and firepower - these shortcomings along with its relatively slow recharge rate have mostly restricted its use to low energy-drain tanks.
There is however another niche that this reviled part could fit in: bladers, where the high capacity of this generator would counter the usually high drain of the laser blades while allowed to recharge between blade strikes.
AC Yari (Quadruple)

O01-AMINO, CR-O69ES, CR-O69SS, KISSYOH, O03-CODON, O07-PRIMER, CR-O86R+, MARISHI
AC Tachi (Light Biped)
Same as above, except replace:
Legs: CR-LH79L 0,2,4,0,4
Boosters: B04-BIRDIE2 0,7,0,3
Radiator: ANANDA 0,0,10
Tactics are simple: first use the sniper rifle to pick off small and/or aerial foes (it is possible, but highly impractical to blade helicopters and hovering Ostriches as it is likely to take scratch damage in the process) then drop the rifle and close to slice anything else apart. The fast acceleration of the BIRDIE series will make it trivial to dodge most projectiles.
Against ACs, always aim for the sides to remove weapons as only two well-placed blade strikes are enough to destroy a LEMUR arm. Take note that the blade strike of a light weight biped is angled towards the lower left as opposed to the quadruple's forward thrust, and it is entirely possible to completely miss targets to the right of the player's AC.
Happy hunting!
