Sell me on the beluga

I did, overcharged grade 5 power plant with thermal spread and increased range grade 5 FSD with thermal spread. Heat is well under control.
He's right, it sells itself, right back to the station so you can purchase a ship that isn't terrible and trash by Frontier. Nothing can touch their precious Conda in competition, not even ships designed for tourism/sightseeing/exploration (Dolphin,Orca,Beluga), not ships designed for Combat (Corvette is meant to be the heavy firepower version of Big Three but Conda has more legit DPS output), and Conda is godly trader only SLIGHTLY beaten by Cutter or the new rebuffed Type 9 (while retaining said combat and exploration benefits).
Beluga needs overhaul. Cockpit seats too low, cockpit seats too far from window, HUD misaligned, Jump range lacking, heat issues even with A-rated modules. The only benefit is it looks like a space ... you know... especially if you paint it Midnight Black. Otherwise you're hurting yourself flying it for "RP" reasons.
Well in that case, I better start grinding for one.
Really? I wasn't even satisfied with G5 Armoured's heat reduction and engineered a new PP with G2 Low Emissions. After some testing the thrusters ended up as 7D G5 Clean + Drag. In conjunction I also dropped the idea of having it armed with pack-hounds for the lols, the power and heat capacity of the Beluga just seem too low for this to be practical. All those concessions now finally allow my space whale to stay below 100% heat almost all the time, be it during scooping a star while aligning for the next jump, of boosting away at 90 degrees from a planet surface while simultaneously charging the FSD.

Indeed, I'm calling **** on that statement too. I went low-emissions PP, Shield, and clean drives and it could finally scoop one jump of fuel without hitting 100% but it's definitely still on the toasty side. It shouldn't need all those engineering concessions just so it doesn't fail as a ship.
'Tis Big Fat & Ugly.
What more do ya need?

Hmmm so the salesman have failed to put a positive spin on the heat generation of this flying BBQ rack. Poor show. Dont we have some jokesters out there who can at least make this mediocre ship into some good humor?

High efficiency toaster oven included! Just put it in park and enjoy a nice hot breakfast! No extra power draw on your busy, busy distributor. Cook on the go, no need to wait!*
*Tinfoil suit not included. We are not responsible for excessive heat build-up, melted control surfaces, and/or death. Use with caution.
Ah yes. The comforting aroma of smoldering dashboard. The smell of burning circuitry and plastic combined with a wailing klaxon remind me of home. What a delight. I'l take two!
Call what you like. I linked my build earlier in the thread and it's heat level is fine. No need to insult me.
