Deep space transports are designed with the depths of lawless space in mind. Possessing defensive capabilities far in excess of standard industrial ships, they provide great protection for whatever cargo is being transported in their massive holds. They are, however, some of the slowest ships to be found floating through space.

what's this?
Base Time to Warp is essentially the time needed for this ship to align and accelerate until it reaches 75% of its top speed and goes to warp. The time displayed here is the base calculated time with no account for any warp related skills, modules or any other effects.

Summary

The Mastodon is usually shield tanked with its five mid slots, which provides slightly lower raw EHP on a buffer tank than its Armor tanked peers, and also notably less than the shield-tanked Bustard with its six mid-slots, giving the Mastodon arguably the lightest potential tank of the Deep Space Transport (DST) family. However "light" is still relative in this company, and the Mastodon can still easily hit battleship levels of tank. In addition, the high base navigation stats, combined with four low slots that can be used for several speed and agility modules, mean that the Mastodon is generally the fastest and most agile of the DSTs.

As with all DSTs, the Fleet Hangar can hold any item (not only ships) and is therefore the main cargo hold when hauling. It can only be expanded by training the Transport Ships skill (to a maximum of 62,500m3 at Level 5). As Cargo Expanders only affect the tiny main cargo hold which is rarely used they are of little use when fitting a DST.
