{{Quote|Saud Kruger builds some of the finest luxury vessels travelling the space lanes. Their Dolphin class passenger vessel is able to transport a small number of people in extreme comfort.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Dolphin''' is the latest addition to [[Saud Kruger]]'s line of luxury passenger ships. It is a small vessel with a very low starter price aimed at commanders wishing to embark upon a role of a [[Passenger Carrier]]. As a Saud Kruger ship, the Dolphin can install luxury suite cabins exclusive to this brand. With an above-average jump-range and a sleek design, the Dolphin will surely find its place among the ever-growing field of space tourism.

==Overview==

The Dolphin is one of the three [[Saud Kruger]] line of ships, along with the [[Orca]] and [[Beluga Liner]]. It can be considered the passenger equivalent to the [[Type-6]]. Like its sisters, it is capable of carrying Luxury Cabins and has a focus on Passenger Missions. The Dolphin distinguishes itself from the other two Kruger ships however due to actually being rather viable in various roles.

The Dolphin has 84T of cargo space available for [[trading]]. Considering it has a similar price tag to the [[Type-6 Transporter|Type-6]] and similar combat ability this makes the Dolphin a rather poor trading vessel; however, its higher jump range makes it a good [[Rare Goods]] trader or for long range transport.

In Combat, the Dolphin is just as bad as the [[Type-6]] and suffers from many of its downsides with its [[Sidewinder]] grade offenses and has worse shields and armour. However, it has better mobility and better hardpoint placement which can let it be much more nimble and allow it to evade oncoming fire much easier as well as keep Fixed Hardpoints on target.

As an [[Explorer]] the Dolphin shines; it has around 35ly of jump capacity before engineering, higher than that of the standard Type-6 and just slightly short of the significantly more expensive [[Asp Explorer]], making the Dolphin an extremely good exploration vessel. Its downside is its low amount of compartment slots, limiting its use of [[Guardian Frame Shift Drive Booster]]s and other internals such as [[Fuel Scoop]]s.

Passenger missions are its focus and it does them more effectively than most other ships. It has 1 spot for a Luxury Passenger Cabin and plenty of space for more passengers alongside. With its very high jump range this makes it very good at doing long-range passenger missions, including those looking to go thousands of Lys for a journey. It isn't as good for bulk missions as it has low compartment space.

Overall the Dolphin is a fantastic exploration ship and is easily the best ship for carrying Luxury passengers due to its jump range and fair price. The decent cargo space and better mobility let it stand as a reasonable alternative to the trade focused Type-6.

The cockpit is at the front of the ship and like other Saud Kruger ships it is only possible to see from inside. The two small hardpoints are directly below this on the bottom of the ship.

==Notes==
*The Dolphin was released in update 2.3 "[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons#The Commanders - v2.3|The Commanders]]".<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/341916-2-3-The-Commanders-Changelog]https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/341916-2-3-The-Commanders-Changelog</ref> Purchasing it requires owning the [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons|Horizons expansion]].<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=ee59a3bb5e Newsletter #10]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmpRiR1u6t4 YouTube: On the Horizon - 2.3 The Commanders Beta Livestream Part 1]</ref>

==Trivia==
*The Dolphin engine boost sound resembles a dolphin whistle.
*As with all Saud Kruger ships, the Dolphin is loosely based on a luxury [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_ship Cruise Ship], hence the aquatic animal theme. They also draw some inspiration from modern limousines such as the black windows.
* [[Elite Dangerous: Beyond|Beyond Chapter Four]] removes restrictions from the restricted [[module]] slots on the [[Beluga Liner]], Dolphin and [[Orca]]. This allows them to equip modules other than [[Passenger Cabin]]s in those slots.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/452944-Beyond-Chapter-Four-Beta-1?p=7126760&viewfull=1#post7126760 Frontier Forums: Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta 1, post #191]</ref>

{{quote|The Vulture space superiority fighter sacrifices hardpoint flexibility for manoeuvrability. Advanced manufacturing techniques have allowed the Vulture to integrate large hardpoints into its relatively small frame, offsetting the ship's limited weapon count, but its nimble flight characteristics make it equally devastating against smaller targets. A limited cargo and passenger capability has not stopped it becoming a preferred personal transport for those who like to project a certain attitude in their dealings.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Vulture''' is a heavy space superiority [[:Category:Fighters|fighter]]. Featuring two large [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture packs serious firepower into a relatively small frame. Although its top speed is mediocre compared to other fighters, it is a contender for the most maneuverable ship in the game owing to its powerful lateral thrusters and extremely powerful engines relative to the ship's mass, only being out-turned by smaller, less-armed ships.

==Overview==
The Vulture's two large hardpoints are located above and behind the cockpit, about halfway down the hull of the ship. Due to the spacing between the hardpoints, a loadout of two fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets.

The Vulture has two manned stations. The pilot's station is on the centerline of the ship. The auxiliary station is offset to the port side above and behind the pilot's station.

Defensively, the Vulture has impressive statistics on paper. It possesses the highest base shield and armor hitpoints out of all small sized ships; it has very good internal compartments (even better than the much more expensive [[Fer-de-Lance]]); and its number of utility mounts is 4, the same as larger ships such as [[Python]] and [[Federal Gunship]]. However, there is a catch: the Vulture is held back by its limited power capacity, which greatly limits viable loadout choices and encourages smart [[module priority control]].

The Vulture has an available 16 piece cosmetic ship kit that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net/usd/game-extras/elite-dangerous-game-extras/vulture-ship-kit-16-pieces.html Frontier store] which allows you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit does not affect gameplay.
