A design as ancient as the first days of Liberty's expansion into the stars, the Mastodon was originally designed to house the massive engines that enabled her to make the pre-modern voyage to the adjacent systems of the burgeoning nation. As technology developed to allow for more compact and efficient engine technology the fundamental design of the vessel held fast, increasing her cargo storage and deep space capabilities in kind. Forgoing heavy armaments for heavy armor, the Mastodon is designed to handle the rigors of deep space travel beyond the confines of interplanetary boundaries in Liberty's ongoing efforts to secure the resources needed to ensure her growth and survival.
Handling
- This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.

Review
The Mastodon is truly a valorous vessel. Its amazing detail in design texture really boasts the might of the Liberty trading fleet. A Gargantuan 5000 unit cargo hold guarantees big bucks on every completed route and it's sheer size is enough for a pirate to think twice about going anywhere near it. But the Mastadon's bluff can be called when all that corporate might is stripped down to a single Class 7 Turret mount. Like the Mammoth, other ships of the same class from other houses to outclass it in terms of survival. But like the other three house ships, its maneuverability is near to nothing. Taking a full 30 seconds to turn 360* on the spot, getting into an angular fight with pirates is NOT an option. The cockpit, being that of an avenger doesn't quite fit the character and really obscures your vision. But when you fly a monster like this you can't help but feel motivated in getting your goods delivered and boasting your nationality in style.
