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. | 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.

As an [[Explorer]] the Dolphin | As an [[Explorer]] the Dolphin fails; it has around 35ly of jump capacity before engineering; higher than that of the Type-6 but way off the mark of the [[Asp Explorer]] which can fit FSD booster following the 3.1 update, the Dolphin is obsolete for explorers; Pre 3.1 it was great but now every other ship outclass it, Explorers would be better off flying a Krait (combat ship) which has more internal module slots, a fighter bay AND has a better jump range not to mention the huge fuel scoop. | ||
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. | Passenger missions are its focus and it does them more effectively than most other ships.

Overall the Dolphin is a fantastic | Overall the Dolphin is a fantastic ship that has since become obsolescent the only thing it is good at is looking good & 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. | The cockpit is at the front of the ship and like other Saud Kruger ships it is only possible to see from inside.
