The Mammoth is one of the only VIP Miners in the game. It is an experimental extension of the Rorqual, according to its description.

Description

The Mammoth was the first Miner in the game with more than four Mining Lasers (The ship currently has 4 Mammoth Mining Lasers). The Mammoth, is essentially an upgrade to the Rorqual (also referenced in the build menu description), as this mines faster and accelerates faster, while its turn speed is lower than the Rorqual, costs more, requires a higher warehouse level, and requires VIP, every other stat is the same as the Rorqual. It has a mining range of 5500 and takes a minimum of, 250 seconds to fill up its hold.

Appearance

The Mammoth has a very large interior for its class. The ship is entered through a small stairway at the stern of the ship. From there, a long hallway leads to the main room, containing the pilot's seat and many screens. Another small stairway at the center of the room will take the player downstairs into two smaller rooms. One room is a sleeping quarter, while the other is a small office.

Advantages

• Very fast for a Miner of its size.
• Higher health than the Rorqual, getting near to the total HP of the Orca; allowing it to sustain more damage than most other miners.
• Mines faster than the Rorqual, as fast as the Orca.
• Large ore hold, same as the Orca.
• Significantly cheaper than the Orca, despite having the same effective mining efficiency as that ship.

Disadvantages

• VIP Gamepass is required.
• The large size makes it a large target, but it is still smaller than the M Class.
• Aliens often target Miners, especially those as large of a target as the Mammoth.
• Quite expensive for its class.
• Has less turn speed than the Rorqual, and isn't as durable as the Orca.

Strategy

• Never mine during a war.
• Use the warp drive if attacked, and watch the chat or Minimap for War declarations or incoming Pirates. It is recommended to do a check like this at least a few times a minute.
• Try to mine in a VIP Server to avoid pirating players. Be aware that Aliens can still spawn in these servers.
• Don't mine at the Mega Base if at War and are unprotected. It's not worth it, even with the ability to warp.
• It's better to mine at large clusters of ores since they are easily harvested and the Medium Mining Lasers will not be out of range when mining.
