Dolphin
Template:Quote The Dolphin is the latest addition to Saud Kruger's line of luxury passenger ships. It’s a small vessel with a very low starter price aimed at commanders wishing to embark upon a role of a tourist pilot. As with the rest of the passenger liners, the Dolphin can fit all the necessary passenger suites ensuring maximum comfort for all on board.
With a very decent jump-range and a sleek design, the Dolphin will surely find its place among the ever-growing space tourism.
Note; a problem that you may come across when flying this ship is the lack of internal space for Passenger Cabins when outfitted with a Fuel Scoop and a Shield Generator. edit: This ship has a class 5 Reserved Compartment leaving two class 4 for Fuel Scoop (up to 4A) and/or Shield Generator (up to 4A).
The Dolphin together with Orca and Beluga Liner are the only ships fittable with Luxury cabins .
This ship was released in update 2.3 "The Commanders". Requires the Horizons expansion[1][2]
