Beluga Liner
Template:Quote The Beluga Liner is a passenger ship added in "The Guardians" update 2.2.[1] 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 cousin the Orca can be equipped with Luxury Suite Cabin modules, allowing it to transport VIPs. 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 "Fanning Vision" and in the Founders World. The Beluga Liner is one of the seven ships capable of equipping a Fighter Hangar.
The ship might have heat management issues, especially while entering and exiting a hyperspace jump. This can be somewhat mitigated with higher grade power plants.
Even if at first, it may seem as if the Beluga has more than enough space to fit all you need, its limtations when it comes to class 6 compartments make it so you rather fit a fighter hangar, or a dencent fuel scoop wich often leads to the conclusion of being one of the most left out ships when it comes to multi-crew.
Due to its high hull mass and lack of class 7 or above unreserved internal compartments, the Beluga is limited to fitting only Class 6 Shield Generators. This makes it one of two ships that are unable to fit a optimized mass shield generator, the other being the Orca.
