The '''Patriotic Rorqual''' was released as a July 4th Event ship. There are special features that set it apart from the [[Rorqual]]. Equipped with 2 [[Turrets|Patriotic Mining Lasers]], with 6000 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''' was released as a July 4th Event ship. There are special features that set it apart from the [[Rorqual]].
