{{Quote|Like Saud Kruger's other passenger vessels, the Dolphin can accommodate a luxury-tier passenger cabin, allowing it to transport passengers in comfort. And despite costing significantly less than its sister ships, the Beluga Liner and the Orca, the Dolphin boasts the same sleek lines and refined aesthetic.|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, however it is somewhat viable in other roles as well.

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 the same downsides with its [[Sidewinder]] grade offenses and mediocre shields and armour. However, it has better mobility and better hardpoint placement, allowing it to be much more nimble as well as making it easier to 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 great at doing long-range passenger missions, including those looking to go thousands of light-years. 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.

{{quote|The Orca is a high-end passenger ship manufactured by Saud Kruger, the market leader in civilian-transport vessels. Like Saud Kruger's other ships, the Orca can accommodate a luxury-tier passenger cabin, allowing it to transport passengers in comfort and style. The Orca has not been designed for combat or exploration, however, and its internal compartments cannot accommodate military modules.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Orca''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Saud Kruger]]. One of the galaxy's most popular passenger liners, the Orca combines Saud Kruger's signature sleek aesthetics and luxury accommodations into a relatively affordable package in the large-size ship range. As with other Saud Kruger vessels, it is capable of equipping Luxury-class [[Passenger Cabin]]s, a manufacturer-exclusive feature. Although the Orca's initial specifications are not especially impressive given its heavy focus on [[Passenger Carrier|passenger transport]], with the right modules and [[Engineers|engineering]] it can be transformed into a surprisingly manoeuvrable ship with above-average jump range. In most roles other than [[combat]], the Orca can get the job done in style.

==Overview==
The Orca is essentially a passenger carrier version of the [[Type-7]], sacrificing many of its upsides to focus on the passenger aspect, similar to what the [[Dolphin]] was to the [[Type-6]].

Where officially its maneuverability is slightly better than an [[Anaconda]] and worse than a [[Beluga Liner]], in practice the Orca handles far better than this rating suggests. It has a remarkably high turn rate, high acceleration and max speed, and it is very good at strafing. However, its relatively small power plant and limited hardpoint capacity prevent it from becoming a great combat ship. Its large size makes it an easy target, and its shield and armor are mediocre at best for a ship of this size and class. One of the biggest downsides to the ship is the hardpoint placement; all of which are on the underside of the ship making it easy for ships to stay out of the Orca's firing range. This hasn't stopped a handful of Commanders setting up groups dedicated to combat in Orcas, and like any ship, it is still formidable with engineering and skilled pilots.

The Jump range can reach a rather impressive average of 36lys making it a very good explorer at a fraction of the price of the [[Anaconda]]. This makes the Orca a better ship for long distance passenger hauling than most others and contributes heavily to its role as a cruise ship, allowing Commanders to take high-paying VIPs many light-years. Its range is still less than that of a [[Diamondback Explorer|Diamondback]]/[[Asp Explorer]], which are both a fraction of the price and much better at self-defense.

As a [[trader]] or [[miner]] the Orca is a very bad option. In both aspects, the [[Type-7]] is a far better option especially due to the Orca's huge pricetag. At a maximum 194T of possible cargo it has the lowest of any large ship, even lower when shielded.

The biggest downside the Orca has is its pricetag; it is only slightly better at its roles than the [[Dolphin]] or [[Type-7]] but at more than ten times the cost. It is also worse than the [[Beluga Liner]] at everything but jump range; Commanders looking for passenger missions may choose it instead. The Orca is very good at carrying passengers long range, however because of the weight it's ill-advised to bring bulk passengers long range; at which point the [[Dolphin]] outclasses the Orca.

The hardpoint placement of the ship is as follows: all 3 hardpoints are located on the underside of the ship. The large hardpoint is placed in front of the front landing gear, whereas the 2 medium hardpoints are located side by side behind the large hardpoint.

The Orca's heat dispersion capabilities are relatively poor, so caution must be taken when adding or engineering modules with a high thermal load. The ship is especially prone to overheat when scooping fuel.

The bridge is located on the bottom of massive window in the front of the ship, with the pilot's seat, on the left side. From there the pilot enjoys excellent viewing angles in all directions but down.

{{Quote|Manufactured by Saud Kruger, the Beluga Liner is a high-end passenger ship for those who value luxury and comfort. With the largest passenger capacity of any Saud Kruger vessel, and the ability to accommodate a luxury-tier passenger cabin, the Beluga is the only choice for those who want to travel in style.|In-game Description}}
The '''Beluga Liner''' is a [[ship]] manufactured by [[Saud Kruger]].<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 a ponderous cruise liner designed to carry passengers to their destination in luxurious comfort. Only the Beluga and its smaller cousins the [[Orca]] and the [[Dolphin]] can be equipped with Luxury [[Passenger Cabin]] modules, allowing them to transport high-paying VIP passengers.

==Overview==
The third in the Saud Kruger line after the Dolphin and Orca, the Beluga Liner is the Passenger equivalent of the [[Type-9]], sacrificing the huge cargo hold to carry luxury VIPs. It is designed to accommodate even more passengers in luxury and comfort than an [[Orca]], but this specialization comes at the cost of speed and maneuverability. The result is a slow, cumbersome ship that is difficult to fit through a station's [[Access Corridor]]; deploying the landing gear folds the ship's bulky rear fins down, making it easier to traverse. To compensate, the Beluga features a Class 7 [[Frame Shift Drive]] and a 128-tonne [[Fuel Tank]] that gives it an impressive travel range for long-distance cruises. The Beluga can also fit a [[Fighter Hangar]] to bolster its modest offensive capability, though it is in no way optimized or recommended for extensive combat.

The Beluga Liner performs poorly in [[Combat]]. While the ship does boast better hardpoints and maneuverability than the [[Type-9]], the hardpoints are positioned in a way that does not allow them good coverage areas or firing arcs, making it difficult to keep even turreted mounts on targets. The biggest downside is the shield generator and hull mass, which make the Beluga very easy to take down with even moderate fire. Combined with its colossal size making it a ridiculously large target the Beluga is often easy pickings for many ships, and even a Fighter Hanger only helps so much.

As a cargo ship, the Beluga has 368t of potential space. This is fairly poor for a large ship, only beating the [[Type-7 Transporter]] by 60 tonnes. The Beluga is capable of doing cargo runs but the price puts it in range of the [[Type-9 Heavy]]; which completely overshadows it all together.

The Beluga Liner makes for an interesting option as an [[Explorer|Exploration]] vessel. With proper [[Engineers|Engineering]] and a [[Guardian Frame Shift Drive Booster]], its jump range tops out at 40-50 ly depending on what other modules it is carrying, but there are cheaper, less unwieldy ships to choose from that can achieve higher jump ranges. What makes the Beluga a decent contender as an explorer is its internal space and ability to equip a [[Fighter Hangar]], it can carry every essential exploration module, a number of non-essential ones, and still have room for modules that have less usefulness out in the black, such as [[Cargo Rack]]s. Not to be overlooked is the Beluga's open cockpit layout, which provides a wide, unobstructed view.

As a dedicated, high-capacity passenger liner the Beluga Liner suffers from a number of shortcomings that restrict its ability to adequately serve other roles. The Beluga cannot hold a [[Shield Generator]] larger than Class 6, making it the only ship unable to fit a shield generator that is optimized for its mass. The Beluga also has issues with heat management, which can exceed safe levels during and immediately after a [[Hyperspace]] jump due the heat build-up from the charging FSD; this can be partially mitigated by installing a higher-rated [[Power Plant]], but the added mass will hinder the ship's jump range. It also has a worse jump range than the [[Orca]], only marginally better combat potential, and a frustratingly large size that complicates docking. The Beluga is unsurpassed in its capacity for bulk VIP passenger missions, but with its various flaws, the Beluga is in essence cripplingly over-specialized.

== Notes ==
{{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}}

Multi-cannon

2018-11-27T07:51:44Z

96.40.125.238: /* Specifications */ Added info on turretted class 3 Multi-cannons

[[File:Multicannon.png|thumb|282px|Class 2 multi-cannon]]
{{quote|Rapid fire, small calibre projectile weapon.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Multi-cannon''' is a small calibre machine gun that rapidly fires kinetic projectiles. Multi-cannons consume less power than energy weapons, generate less heat, and have a longer range, but have a finite stockpile of ammunition that must be replenished.

The continuous hail of projectiles that multi-cannons fire are relatively easy to keep on-target and can be fired at the same time as other, more energy-thirsty weapons such as lasers due to their low distributor draw, making them very common weapons among pilots. Their damage does not begin to drop off at range as quickly as that caused by laser weapons does. All multi-cannons have a maximum range of 4000m, with damage dropping off past 2000m.

The downside to multi-cannons is that they require fire to be maintained on the target continuously to deal damage, and this damage is gradual compared to some other types of weapon. They struggle especially against larger ships because of their relatively low armour piercing values being pitted against high [[Armour Hardness]]. As kinetic weapons they also are less effective against shields.

Multi-cannons also have a hidden attribute: a firing delay as they "spin up". When the trigger is pushed, the weapons will not fire for a short amount of time while they reach the rotational speed required. If the trigger is released during this time, they will spin down without having fired. This means they are better at sustained fire rather than shorter bursts. Spin up delay is minor but increases with the class of the weapon, with class 3 having a notably longer delay. This may make class 3 multi-cannons less effective against small, nimble ships that allow for minimal time on-target.

The Class 4 multi-cannon is notably different in that it fires higher calibre shells at a slower rate, rather than an stream of projectiles (see note below). They also have substantially better armour piercing capability, and do ''not'' have spin-up delay.

==Specifications==
Projectile velocity for all multi-cannons is 1600 m/s.

{{quote|The Type-10 Defender is the result of collaboration between the Alliance and Lakon Spaceways. With the threat of xeno-war looming, the Alliance's naval arm saw the urgent need for a weapons platform capable of withstanding heavy, sustained attack. Utilising a reinforced Type-9 chassis as a starting point, Lakon overhauled and geared every aspect of the design for combat, producing a military behemoth that could be produced in volume at short notice.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Type-10 Defender''' is a [[Lakon Spaceways]] ship that represents a comprehensive revision of the [[Type-9 Heavy]]. The [[Alliance]] commissioned Lakon to build the Type-10 to combat the escalating [[Thargoids|Thargoid]] threat following a series of [[Thargoids#Station attacks and Medusae|attacks]] against [[Station]]s in the [[Pleiades Nebula]]. Announced on December 17, 3303, Lakon committed to an aggressive production schedule that delivered the Type-10 in volume to retailers the following week.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a33f0d7c8717065ab310fde Galactic News: Lakon Announces New Ship]</ref> Lakon intended the Type-10 to be "particularly effective in combat situations".<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a3be4794b55be3e304a16b2 Galactic News: Type-10 Defender Now Available]</ref>

==Overview==
The interior of the Type-10 is identical to that of the Type-9, including the same co-pilot placement. It also has the same hardpoints, however, it now has 4 additional large hardpoints; 2 on both the top and bottom, near the medium hardpoints. The utility mounts are similarly located in the same places, with a few extra dotted in symmetrical fashion

Like the Type-9 Heavy it was based on, the Type-10 Defender is a slow, bulky ship, having the tied lowest manoeurvability with it, however substantial modifications to the design give it more versatility. The Type-10 is not only somewhat faster than the Type-9, but has stronger armour, better heat management, double the utility slots, four added large weapon hardpoints, and two Military Compartments, making it a viable warship. The Type-10 retains the Type-9's compatibility with [[Multicrew]] and ability to mount a [[Fighter Hangar]].

When compared to similar ships in its price range, those being the big three, [[Anaconda]], [[Imperial Cutter|Cutter]] and [[Federal Corvette|Corvette]], the Type-10 has better armor and similar shielding to the Anaconda, as well as the single best potential damage output in the game. While this works on paper, a position where all hardpoints can converge on a single target is borderline impossible due to the ship's mobility and hardpoint spacing. Its low mobility compared to the other three also makes it easy to counter and gimballed weapons may never even have an opportunity to hit a target, thus turret hardpoints are highly recommended. Another issue shared with the Type-9 is its issues with bounty hunting; its low speed and woeful mobility makes catching up to targets both in and out of [[Supercruise]] very tricky and [[Interdiction|Interdictions]] become difficult to perform and avoid. Unlike the Type-9, it also cannot hold a class 8 [[Shield Cell Bank]] alongside its class 8 [[Shield Generator]], which could prove problematic. It also suffers from a low jump-range when compared to the other big three.

The Type-10's focus on combat-readiness gives it another disadvantage over the Type-9: reduced cargo capacity. While the Type-10 can still haul more than most other ships and can be configured into a well-protected heavy trader, the Type-9's higher capacity and lower purchase price makes it the superior choice for pure trading. Furthermore the Type-10 attracts the highest class of pirates; usually flying Anacondas or better which can prove a huge nuisance when outfitted for trading; however, its higher Mass Lock Factor can help in this situation.

Despite the issues the Type-10 is one of the best ships in PVE combat; having turreted hardpoints set to fire at will can allow the ship to destroy most adversaries without the player needing to press a button, making it possible to use fighter hangers without the need of a crew member. This also makes it a deadly NPC ship to fight against.

The Type-10 also features mobile structural elements, like the [[Diamondback Explorer]]. The ship's small wings are extended during flight, but will fold up when landing gear is deployed.

The Type-10 has an available 12 piece cosmetic [[Ship Kits|Ship Kit]] that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net/game-extras/elite-dangerous-game-extras/type-10-defender-ship-kit.html Frontier store] which allows you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit does not affect gameplay.

{{quote|The Type-10 Defender is the result of collaboration between the Alliance and Lakon Spaceways. With the threat of xeno-war looming, the Alliance's naval arm saw the urgent need for a weapons platform capable of withstanding heavy, sustained attack. Utilising a reinforced Type-9 chassis as a starting point, Lakon overhauled and geared every aspect of the design for combat, producing a military behemoth that could be produced in volume at short notice.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Type-10 Defender''' is a [[Lakon Spaceways]] ship that represents a comprehensive revision of the [[Type-9 Heavy]]. The [[Alliance]] commissioned Lakon to build the Type-10 to combat the escalating [[Thargoids|Thargoid]] threat following a series of [[Thargoids#Station attacks and Medusae|attacks]] against [[Station]]s in the [[Pleiades Nebula]]. Announced on December 17, 3303, Lakon committed to an aggressive production schedule that delivered the Type-10 in volume to retailers the following week.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a33f0d7c8717065ab310fde Galactic News: Lakon Announces New Ship]</ref> Lakon intended the Type-10 to be "particularly effective in combat situations".<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5a3be4794b55be3e304a16b2 Galactic News: Type-10 Defender Now Available]</ref>

==Overview==
The interior of the Type-10 is identical to that of the Type-9, including the same co-pilot placement. It also has the same hardpoints, however, it now has 4 additional large hardpoints; 2 on both the top and bottom, near the medium hardpoints. The utility mounts are similarly located in the same places, with a few extra dotted in symmetrical fashion

Like the Type-9 Heavy it was based on, the Type-10 Defender is a slow, bulky ship, having the tied lowest manoeurvability with it, however substantial modifications to the design give it more versatility. The Type-10 is not only somewhat faster than the Type-9, but has stronger armour, better heat management, double the utility slots, four added large weapon hardpoints, and two Military Compartments, making it a viable warship. The Type-10 retains the Type-9's compatibility with [[Multicrew]] and ability to mount a [[Fighter Hangar]].

When compared to similar ships in its price range, those being the big three, [[Anaconda]], [[Imperial Cutter|Cutter]] and [[Federal Corvette|Corvette]], the Type-10 has better armor and similar shielding to the Anaconda, as well as the single best potential damage output in the game. While this works on paper, a position where all hardpoints can converge on a single target is borderline impossible due to the ship's mobility and hardpoint spacing. Its low mobility compared to the other three also makes it easy to counter and gimballed weapons may never even have an opportunity to hit a target, thus turret hardpoints are highly recommended. Another issue shared with the Type-9 is its issues with bounty hunting; its low speed and woeful mobility makes catching up to targets both in and out of [[Supercruise]] very tricky and [[Interdiction|Interdictions]] become difficult to perform and avoid. Unlike the Type-9, it also cannot hold a class 8 [[Shield Cell Bank]] alongside its class 8 [[Shield Generator]], which could prove problematic. It also suffers from a low jump-range when compared to the other big three.

The Type-10's focus on combat-readiness gives it another disadvantage over the Type-9: reduced cargo capacity. While the Type-10 can still haul more than most other ships and can be configured into a well-protected heavy trader, the Type-9's higher capacity and lower purchase price makes it the superior choice for pure trading. Furthermore the Type-10 attracts the highest class of pirates; usually flying Anacondas or better which can prove a huge nuisance when outfitted for trading; however, its higher Mass Lock Factor can help in this situation.

Despite the issues the Type-10 is one of the best ships in PVE combat; having turreted hardpoints set to fire at will can allow the ship to destroy most adversaries without the player needing to press a button, making it possible to use fighter hangers without the need of a crew member. This also makes it a deadly NPC ship to fight against.

The Type-10 also features mobile structural elements, like the [[Diamondback Explorer]]. The ship's small wings are extended during flight, but will fold up when landing gear is deployed.

The Type-10 has an available 12 piece cosmetic [[Ship Kits|Ship Kit]] that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net/game-extras/elite-dangerous-game-extras/type-10-defender-ship-kit.html Frontier store] which allows you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit does not affect gameplay.

{{quote|The Asp Explorer is the civilian version of the military model Asp MkII (which first saw service in 2878). Lakon Spaceways now owns the licence to construct these ships and has marketed them heavily at customers looking for their first multi-crewed ships. The ship class has earned a solid reputation for long range missions and those requiring some discretion.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Asp Explorer''' has a high jump range relative to other ships in the game and thus is very good for use as an exploration ship. It has six weapon [[hardpoint]]s and has a good turning radius for its size which makes the Asp good for more than just exploration. The Asp can act as a heavy-duty bounty hunting vessel due to its superb weapon capacity and good manoeuvrability for its size. [[Pirate]]s can also use the Asp to great effect because of the ample cargo capacity, heavy armament, long jump range and large mass (allowing it to charge its own [[Frame Shift Drive]] with minimal mass disruption while also mass disrupting the frame shift drive of most [[ships]]). The Asp Explorer also features a copilot seat located directly under the player's seat, visible while outfitting the ship.

The main downside of this ship is the high initial purchase cost and high maintenance costs. It is also known to be prone to overheating when equipped with heat intensive weapon loadouts. Many roles that the Asp fills can be fulfilled with cheaper ships, though the Asp's performance is typically better than that of the less expensive option. An example would be pirating which can be done in a [[Cobra MkIII]] whose purchase cost is 6.3 million credits less, while still having a moderate cargo capacity and comparable weapon armament. Another example would be trading which can be done in a [[Type-6 Transporter]] that has nearly the same cargo capacity, and costs 5.6 million credits less. A further example would be bounty hunting which can be done better in a [[Vulture]] which is more manoeuvrable and has higher firepower, while costing 1.7 million credits less.

The Asp Explorer can be purchased at a 20% discount at Irkutsk station in the Alliance capital system of [[Alioth]].<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=122593 Discounted purchase price forum article]</ref> It can also be purchased from some stations in [[Li Yong-Rui]] controlled systems at a 15% discount.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: On each side of the cockpit, 1 medium hardpoint above the waterline and 1 small hardpoint below the waterline (total 2 medium, 2 small), and 2 small hardpoints located directly beneath the cockpit. Due to the shape of the ship and the hardpoint locations, the medium hardpoints and small hardpoints share a small field of fire (i.e mostly directly ahead). Pilots should be aware that Turrets in both Medium Hardpoints will have firing arcs above the cockpit where the pilot can generally see the target that the turrets are shooting at. However, turrets in all four Small Hardpoints will have firing arcs below the cockpit, where the target will tend to be obscured from the pilot's vision by the flight console and the floor.

The pilot's station is located along the centerline of the ship on the top flight deck. An Auxiliary station is located along the centerline of the ship on the bottom flight deck which is directly underneath the top flight deck.

The Asp Explorer has an available 12 piece cosmetic ship kit that can be purchased from the [https://www.frontierstore.net/usd/game-extras/elite-dangerous-game-extras/asp-ship-kit-12-pieces.html Frontier store] which allows you to "remodel your ship in your personal style". The ship kit does not affect gameplay.
