Limited Ship
This ship is a limited ship, and could only be acquired for a limited time or it has since become limited.
You lose it forever once it is destroyed, or otherwise has limited availability on the Limited Build Menu.
The Patriotic Rorqual is a Miner-class ship and a reskin of the Rorqual.
Description
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 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.
Interior
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.
Advantages
- High health for a Miner.
- Faster than Rorqual.
- Large range (6500 studs).
Disadvantages
- Slow and large, making it vulnerable coupled with the fact that it has no defenses.
- Pirates and Aliens often target Miners.
- Pirates (player) are more likely to target you because of the fact that the Patriotic Rorqual is extremely rare.
- Despite being rare and expensive, the Patriotic Rorqual is outmatched by the Orca's mining speed and Ore Hold.
Strategy
- Don't mine in War.
- Avoid factions that are vulnerable to War.
- Utilize your high health for tanking out attacks from Aliens and keep on mining.
- If possible, mine in a VIP Server to avoid pirating players. However, Aliens still do spawn.
- Try to check your map every 20 seconds for Aliens and other enemies.
- Try to find a Faction that has a lot of Ores clusters around its Starbase and not as many Miners.
- If you are mining in a Faction that is at War, only mine near your Starbase.
- Due to the fact that it is a limited ship use it rarely.
