The '''Shmeat Liner''' is a passenger [[Ships|ship]] added in "The Shmeaty Ship" 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 in unbeatable comfort where they can sit back and crack open a cold one with the boys. 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 "Fapping Vision" and in the Founders World. The Beluga Liner is one of the seven ships capable of equipping a Smaller Shmeat.

The Beluga does suffer though from a lack of outfitting space to fit a [[Fighter Hangar]] and a class 5 Scooby snack superior to a class 4 since it cannot fit a [[Shield Generator]] of this size and of the numerous [[Reserved Compartment]]s.
