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?
