Read again. Esvandiary (Cmdr Alot, the race winner) initially tried the DBX but switched to the Hauler for the above stated reasons.

That's what happens when you skim-read at 3:30 in the morning... Cheers... Wow, that's pretty intense testing.

I think I'm going to call it fastest average trans-system door-to-door ship per lightyear and add the link for clarity.
I'm so glad that the hauler has a niche... It's one of my favourite flavour ships in the game.

+Orca and IClipper are tied for fastest large pad ship.

+Cutter has the highest shield values in the game.
-Cutter’s lateral and horizontal thrusters are terrible.

+DBX has the cheapest price for a large hardpoint.

-T-10 needs a mirror smooth surface for planetary landings.
+T-10 has the best heat dissipation of all large pad ships.
-T-10 spoiler looks like it is barely connected to the hull and is set too far back.
+T-10 only losses ~25% of its top speed when changing from 4 ENG pips to 0.
-T-10 has the worst distributior for capacity/recharge vs hardpoint/shield drain of all ships.

-T-7 is prone to catching fire more than any other (large pad) ship.
+T-7 is the cheapest large pad ship and the first to carry +200 cargo.
-T-7 0.5m too tall for a medium pad.

+IClipper is the most maneuverable large pad ship in the game.
-IClipper’s lateral and horizontal thrusters are terrible.

+FDS highest achievable hull values for a medium ship of 3920 vs 3900 for the Python.
+FDS A.K.A. The Federal Driftship.

+FDL best medium pad shields.
+FDL cheapest huge hardpoint.
+FDL has six utilities, most on a medium.

Dolphin: Most slots of any small-pad ship, which (arguably) gives it the most potential as a small multirole.

Which makes me very sad. [sad]

Nice spot.
I will add this as "most slots for any S size ship except the limited edition CmkIV. (7)"

Cobra MK4 has 8 slots vs Dolphin's 7.

Yes, however the CmkIV is ridiculously limited to players who joined in the first year. I'm one of them and have one and still think it's ridiculous to gate non-vanity content like that.. Everyone should have access to this versatile ship... What *were* they thinking?

Cobra MK3: Fastest non-Enhanced Performance Thruster boost speed.
ie: fastest for new players, no engineering or visiting engineers for EPTs
Click to expand...
I see... Fastest unengineered ship with regular thrusters (Cruise 325m/s ~ Boost 464m/s).
