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==
==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. The Dolphin distinguishes itself from the other two Kruger ships however due to actually being rather viable in various roles.

The Dolphin distinguishes itself from the other two Kruger ships however due to actually being rather terrible in various roles.


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.

*As with all Saud Kruger ships, the Dolphin is loosely based on a luxury [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_ship Cruise Ship], hence the aquatic animal theme. They also draw some inspiration from modern limousines such as the black windows.

* [[Elite Dangerous: Beyond|Beyond Chapter Four]] removes restrictions from the restricted [[module]] slots on the [[Beluga Liner]], Dolphin and [[Orca]]. This allows them to equip modules other than [[Passenger Cabin]]s in those slots.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/452944-Beyond-Chapter-Four-Beta-1?p=7126760&viewfull=1#post7126760 Frontier Forums: Beyond - Chapter Four - Beta 1, post #191]</ref>
