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 when engineered; higher than that of the Type-6 and just slightly short of the [[Asp Explorer]] at a much lower cost the Dolphin is great for explorers; especially as its comforting internal view is great for long journeys.

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.
