Where can you find a dolphin?

[Kolvian]

So I've been looking for the past 4 hours on any source I can find, including the Elite Dangerous Wiki, ebbd, and past forum posts, for any station that has the dolphin, and every station they said had the dolphin actually didn't have the dolphin. Anyone know where I can find this ship? (besides at the founder's planet)

The Dolphin requires Horizons. If you don't have that DLC, you won't see the Dolphin for sale.

The Orca is the only passenger-specialized ship in the base game.

This should get you sorted https://eddb.io/station?s=31&m=1573%2C1569%2C1122%2C1563%2C890%2C1589%2C895%2C937%2C975%2C1012%2C1042%2C1087%2C1202%2C886&i=1&p=9&r=17072

That's one sexy ship *nerdgasm*

Mechanical led you down the right path, the EDDB is an invaluable resource. Learn it, use it, love it. I always keep it open in the background and alt+tab to it when needed. So much better than the galaxy map in so many different ways.

I very much agree. :)

It's a great early game ship, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (you only give up on legs), can fly, and can jump, too!

The dolphin's a decent enough passenger/trader/explorer. Type 6 is probably slightly better price wise and they're comparable. Type 6 has more optional slots and a larger cargo bay. It has a decent unladen jump range of about 30LYs max with a ranked FSD and you can devote a class 5 to the best FSD booster for a 10LY jump increase.

Dolphin lets you equip luxury cabins for those lucrative passaneger missions, has a slightly higher unmodified jump range. and functions as a cheap starting explorer too if you wanted to do that, though it's internal compartments are lacking... Forcing you to use it's only class 5 for a cargo rack, hull/module reinforcement. or passenger cabin which denies you the highest grade FSD booster.

Type 6 is probably the better all around pick, even for passenger missions that don't require a luxury cabin, but that's just my opinion. the Dolphin's only slightly more expensive, but is a DLC ship. Both are good at what they do, I just prefer versatility.

I wanted to wave, but it seems the OP doesn't have Horizons. So... :)

You and your sisters are husselers, eh....I see you trying to pass a Li Yong-Rui discount off as one of your own lol.

Thanks for all of the responses, didn't even realize that you needed horizons to get the dolphin.

Most likely going to follow your advice and go with the type 6. Thanks for the help.

So long. And thanks for all the fish. SO sad it had to come to this.

We tried to warn you all but oh, dear...
