M Class

The M Class is a very specialized Miner and physically one of the largest ships in Galaxy.

Description
The M Class is a mining ship that was added in .60d. It comes equipped with 2 Large Mining Lasers, 4500 ore hold, and 450 cargo hold. It has a high amount of hull but a low amount of shields making it vulnerable to pirates. It is also quite slow when not in warp.

Advantages

 * Can mine super fast with its 2 Large Mining Lasers.
 * Great way of making money.
 * Could make lots of credits if used in sync with the E Class.
 * High hull.
 * A huge cargo hold for a Miner.

Disadvantages

 * Low shields.
 * Slow.
 * Can not mine at a distance; the ore must be inside the "mouth" of the ship.
 * Expensive.
 * A massive target for Pirates.
 * Able to be hit easily due to its large size.
 * Large explosion radius.

Strategy

 * Drive into an Ore then stop and mine away.


 * Try to use this ship on a private server if you have one.
 * Don't mine at war. If you do, check the chat and minimap every 15-30 seconds.
 * Always be aware of your surroundings. You will be a massive target.
 * If you're being chased, warp away, and attempt to use your high hull to go to the base.

Version History

 * Received a nerf in .60d that reduced this ship’s mining lasers by 2, hull by 500, cargo hold By 50, ore hold by 1750, and ship cost by around $80K
 * Received a massive buff in .61e4 that doubled health and added some damage resistance.
 * Received a buff in .61h1 that replaced its 4 Medium Mining Lasers with 2 Large Mining Lasers. Somehow, it was also made cheaper.

Trivia

 * The first Miner in the game that requires ore to be mined inside of the ship.
 * The M Class originally had 8 Medium Mining Lasers in its testing phase, cost over 400K, 12K ore hold and had twice as many materials needed from the Ghoul Nyx.
 * The M Class was originally called The Spinach.


 * There are multiple cat decals all over the ship. One can be found under the entrance road and another hiding in the interior on the entrance.
 * At the time of addition, the M Class was one of just 3 miners to have warp, aside from the Mammoth and harvester. The former however, was VIP exclusive and the latter was a low class, making it special as the only non-vip capital miner to have warp before .61h. After .61h however, all miners were given warp, mitigating this special advantage.
 * The M Class' "Mining Hole" is so large that it can fit a Carvainir inside of it, and even a level one Starbase! Basically every type of ship that is smaller than this.


 * Is called the Meme Class by some players.
 * You will at most times earn over 5.5K per mining run.
 * The M Class is the first miner to ever have large mining lasers.
 * In terms of pure mining speed, it is the fastest miner gaining 300 ore every 10 seconds.
