The '''''Mammoth''''' is one of the only VIP [[:Category:Miner|'''Miners''']] in the game. It is an experimental extension of the Rorqual, according to its description. | |||
==Description== | ==Description== | ||
The '''Mammoth''' was the first [[:Category:Miner|Miner]] in the game with ''more'' than four [[Turrets|Mining Lasers]] (The ship currently has 4 [[Turrets|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. | The '''Mammoth''' was the first [[:Category:Miner|Miner]] in the game with ''more'' than four [[Turrets|Mining Lasers]] (The ship currently has 4 [[Turrets|Mammoth Mining Lasers]]).
