Dolphin: next easy ship to make huge amount of credits?

Here, I'll be ahead of the game!
"Nerf the Dolphin! It's too fun and makes money! Kill our game faster! Nerf fun!!"
Am I doing it right?

Hehehe...most obvious name is best name
The dolphin boosting actually sounds like a dolphin, if you listen carefully...
I actually can't even remotely complain. In beta I named mine Dauphin. I can hide behind the fact it's the title of the heir of the throne of France, historically, but the fact is it's just the French word for dolphin.

Mine’s called the WAYWARD FIN:
Have you heard the Keelback’s boost sound? The Dolphin’s is neat, but the Keelback has IMHO the absolute best boost sound in the game. It’s not even a sound, but more like a horn of swiftness declaring for everyone to get out of your way, lol.
This ship should be fantastic for new players and some old players will probably find a use for it too. Glad they buffed the Orca and I'm not sure did they buff the Beluga again in beta for a second time? Either way Dolphin is a beautiful lil ship that will see lots of use. It has one of the most cozy lil high tech bridges you will find in the game.

Great little ship but the boost sounds like an old man wheezing to me
Whirrrr... DING!
All that's missing is: "This is your captain speaking. Please return your tray tables to their locked and upright positions, we're about to haul ___!"
It's basically a cargo and passenger focused Cobra mkIII and with GOOD engineering we get.

- 42 LY jump range
- 76 tonne cargo
- 4pip to ENG we get 377 speed
- 528 boost
It's SLIGHTLY slower but carry about 30-40 tonnes more cargo.

Orca is actually usable now. Mine does 30LY with prismatic shields/reinforced bulkheads and boosts to 480. Could barely manage 20LY pre-buff.
The Beluga is still stupid and pointless. The only reason to buy it is luxury cabins for VIPs, but VIPs hog the whole cabin and are typically wanted and/or hate scans. Beluga is too slow and flimsy to comfortably evade scans/assassins.

This is where the Dolphin should come in useful, as it is fast enough to not have to worry about scans. I just couldn't find any missions that were luxury class, so I gave up.
Just bought one and called it "Neptune's Pride". No screen cap yet though.
I've enjoyed my short time with the Dolphin. It's good for the casual (low credit) player like myself. 
Glad FD added it to their fleet.
Glad FD added it to their fleet.Not a bad little ship, but I feel it could do with one extra internal slot to be really useful. At the moment, it feels like an either-or ship when it comes to passenger class. Best outfitted to be an economy ship or a business class. Possibly first class, but not a mix, and almost certainly not a regular-use luxury one - unless you take single-digit passenger numbers on single missions on sightseeing tours one after another.
It's that Friday night taxi home, with the overpowering scent of too many magic trees, but at least it's neat and tidy inside.

Yep, this is what it’s ideal for: flying one tourist or sightseeing job at a time, the ones that are always secretive. I’ve never stacked these jobs anyway because they often go in different directions and areas, so the small cabin count of the Dolphin makes it ideal for these and it’s what I plan to use it for. Mixed with some exploration along the way of course, hence the SRV on mine.
