My Dolphin is my primary explorer ship. Super cool-running too. Never have had it overheat on my, and the 55-60 ly range makes it more than enough to get most anywhere I've wanted to go.

I have yet to get an Orca, but I've though of it.

-Knight-Why is that?


No particular reason. There are many ships in the game that I haven't tried yet.


Same here. Watching your videos and how you fly your Courier makes me want to try that ship out, though. Seems more maneuverable than the Eagle the way you are able to handle it.

Sakashiro Yup, the efficient mod has no damage boost at the moment.

Yeah, just looking now. Efficient mod has 0 damage output until G5 when it gets 4.8% (instead of 25%). Interestingly, this doesn't effect MCs.
Overcharged lasers also get no damage output (at least up to G4 which is all I got)

SakashiroAnd the PA shown (not mine btw) was created this way:

Someone worked this out just since the update? hats off! It's a real gankers paradise now, with all ships a one-shot kill

Hey folks;

what am I gonna do, to unlock npc lip movement?
I´ve changed all graphics to low, and ensured that all language is set to english...
Still no lips moving.

Any ideas?

At the Game Launcher, go to Options>Validate game files


Additionally, lowering your game settings will probably make it less likely you will see lips moving...

I use the Dolphin for my in-bubble commuter ship. It is fast and maneuverable, has a good jump range, and I can FSD charge and fuel scoop simultaneously with no problems.

The Dolphin is definitely a great ship. I just wish the Baluga Liner and Orca could take the heat from a star the same as the Dolphin.

That'd be a great little brand bit, but I suppose the ability to fit luxury cabins is already one. I kinda wish the Orca had more 6 slots, or they downgrade it to a Medium pad (Or add a Saud Medium). Having to look in advance for which pad you can land on makes taking certain passenger missions unnecessarily complicated.

100% worth it.

Here's my build for it: Zagar's Dream

Lightweight mod on lightweight armor? Its mass is already 0t. I would apply heavy duty instead.

I'll probably try this. 45% heat while FSD charging is impressive. I managed to bring it further down to 39% but had to compromise on speed, shields, etc. too much. By comparison, bringing the Courier down to even 51% totally cripples it.

I've had no problems so far with my Baluga.
