The Tusker is the smaller sibling of the Mammoth and its entry level pricing policy makes it highly sought after by pilots wishing to break into bulk trading. The only major distinction between it and its sister ship is size and consequent cost advantage. The fact that the weapon systems have not been compromised in this respect means that new pilots are not put off by their hazardous occupation and tend to gravitate towards upgrading to the larger and more expensive Mammoth.
