Wrong forum for gameplay questions.

On the Universe forum there are full Plot guides in here where you need only look at the bit you want help with: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=162408

Also there are several threads on that forum just like these examples:

Now you are here and the spam is out of the way, I take it you are trying to board the Orca. The problem is you have not provided detail of your attempt, so I will give you the basics needed and you can come back.
Basically you need an M7M full of; 20 marines full trained in everything except fight ( fight skills should be best that can be purchased ), some fuel and jump drive, plenty of pods, flail and hammer missiles.
This is a good learning exercise for large ship boarding, as the Orca is indestructible until boarded. This means you can throw anything at it during boarding without worrying about hull damage.
If you come back with your attempt details and problem, further help can be given!

Just did this a few days ago.

Yes, M7M with 20 marines in 5 pods, launch all simultaneously, make sure each marine has 100% in at least one specialisation.. mechanics / engineering / hacking, doesn’t need to have 100% in all 3 as long as the boarding party is well balanced. Plenty of flails to keep shields low and turrets busy.

Ran this scenario through 6 times
First 3 were successful with ~ 6 casualties, thought I had it cracked…. but then
Next 3 failed in a row !!! 1 or 2 pods didn't make it through…. bad timing…

So IMO it’s a tough one.
