{{Quote|The Beluga Class Liner is one of the most prestigious vessels to travel the space lanes. Only the Imperial Gutamaya liners rival these glorious vessels. If you want to travel in style, this is the vessel to do it in. A fighter hangar can be equipped to these ships.|In-game Description}}
The '''Beluga Liner''' is a passenger [[Ships|ship]] added in "The Guardians" update 2.2.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA_FcXnyV5Q Elite Dangerous patch 2.2 - aliens, space stations & more Gamescom 2016], 2016-08-17</ref> Comparable to an [[Imperial Cutter]] in mass and even bulkier in volume, the Beluga is designed to carry passengers to their destination in comfort; only it and its smaller cousins the [[Orca]] and the [[Dolphin]] can be equipped with Luxury Suite Cabin modules, allowing it to transport VIPs. Slow and cumbersome, the Beluga is difficult to maneuver inside a dock, but features a Class 7 [[Frame Shift Drive]] and a massive [[Fuel Tank]] that gives it an impressive travel range for long-distance cruises. This ship can be bought in 9 Ceti on "Fanning Vision" and in the Founders World. The Beluga Liner is one of the seven ships capable of equipping a [[Fighter Hangar]].

The ship might have heat management issues, especially while entering and exiting a hyperspace jump. This can be somewhat mitigated with higher grade power plants.

The Beluga does suffer though from a lack of outfitting space to fit a [[Fighter Hangar]] and a [[Fuel Scoop]] superior to a class 4 since it cannot fit a [[Shield Generator]] of this size and of the numerous [[Reserved Compartment|Reserved Compartments]].

Due to its high hull mass and lack of class 7 or above unreserved internal compartments, the Beluga is limited to fitting only Class 6 [[Shield Generator|Shield Generators]]. This makes it one of two ships that are unable to fit an optimized mass shield generator, the other being the [[Orca]].

== Pre-Release Description ==
{{Quote|Whale by name, whale by nature, the Beluga is one of the largest ships in the game. As a specialised Passenger Liner the Beluga has multiple module slots that can accommodate all types of passenger cabins. Well armoured, and decently quick for such a large civilian ship, the Beluga has a similar speed to the Hauler. When escorting passengers across the galaxy you’ll need defence, so the Beluga has 6 utility mounts and 5 medium hardpoints. The Beluga has plenty of mid-range sized internal slots (4 threes, 1 four, 2 fives and 4 sixes). The Beluga can fit a size 7 FSD, but it’s a very heavy ship so it’s more suited for multiple jumps rather than giant leaps.|From Gamescon 2016 Day One Complete Thread dev post}}

[[File:DetailedSurfaceScanner Ingame.png|320px|thumb]]
{{quote|Advanced stellar body scanner used during exploration.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Detailed Surface Scanner''' will give a pilot info on the composition of a moon, planet, star, or other stellar body and also data such as orbital distance and orbit time.

A [[Discovery Scanner]] is ''required'' for this module to be useful; both modules must be present on the ship for this one to provide information. Use of this module increases the amount of credits that can be earned in stellar cartography by about 30%,{{Cite}} and is considered essential for any pilot wanting to use exploration as their primary source of income.

In order to use this module a pilot must select the unexplored entity from their navigation panel then fly to within range (varies due to entity diameter) just as with scanning with the discovery scanner and as such does not need bound to a firing group.

The scan will take from 35 seconds down to 15 seconds depending upon the range at which the entity is scanned, 35 seconds for maximum range down to a minimum of 15 for close range. This difference in scan times may make it worthwhile to get closer to an entity being scanned to save a few seconds but risks the pilot being caught in the entity's gravity well.

Upon completion of the scan the pilot will receive a message confirming the detailed scan.
