So I'm up to about 31 million in the game and I was thinking of getting a TL. It was going to be the argon Mammoth. Then I checked the specs on the Split Elephant. The Mammoth turns faster and has 60,000 meters of cargo space compared to 34,000 for the elephant. Other than that the Elephant seems better in every way. Even the smaller cargo hold is offset by being able to carry 9 more ships than the mammoth. Assuming you loaded both up with fully expanded Mercury Super Freighters you'd be able to carry 199,200 meters in an Elephant compared to 119,000 meters in a Mammoth. The elephant is also almost 11 million credits cheaper. That would buy me 8.5 of those super freighters. Is there something I'm not seeing that makes the Mammoth suck less? Are there some stations that won't fit in the 34,000 meters of the Elephant? Or are argon ships for suckers that dont' know any better? Remove nospam_ to reply by email Jeff H........
