Equipped with | The '''Patriotic Rorqual''' was released as a July 4th Event ship. There are special features that set it apart from the [[Rorqual]]. Equipped with 4 [[Turrets|Patriotic Mining Lasers]], with 6,500 stud range it makes Patriotic Rorqual overall a much more efficient miner than the normal [[Rorqual]]. The mining and money making potential is higher than the [[M Class]]. Since the '''Patriotic Rorqual''' values capitalism so much, it doesn't change to the faction color due to the power of America by its side. Takes a minimum of ~156 seconds to fill up its hold. | ||

The '''Patriotic Rorqual''' has an interior very similar to that of the original [[Rorqual]]. However, the left and right walls are a pure, bright blue, the back and front walls are white, and the floor is covered in dark red carpet. The pilots' seat is white and has a control panel directly in front of it, ending with the panel having colorful buttons & a picture of John F. Kennedy on the top side. | The '''Patriotic Rorqual''' has an interior very similar to that of the original [[Rorqual]].
