The Elite Quarrier (or Elite Beluga/Elite Honeypot) is the ship unlocked at the 17th rank. When using a mining beam, this ship is able to use a mining web that will mine multiple asteroids (partially nullifying an attack by another rank 17 using the asteroid launcher). Using it's C-slot transforms your ore into shooting asteroids that can kill almost everything (including friendly targets), or be used as a shield against gun weapons, or, with enough ore, just to create a cloud of destruction and LAG in a sector. It has the common disadvantages of the rank 12 ship adding the fact that people could use mining beams to attack (damaging the ship as a fraction of their mining beam's total damage). It's the most resilent ship in the game, being the second ship created to have more HP than the rank 15. As well as the rest of the Elite ships, it has a 1.5x weakness to EMP attacks.

**Spanish Translation/Traducción al español:**

La nave alcanzada tras llegar al rango 17. Se sabe que al usar un rayo minero de cualquier tipo creará una red de rayos de minería entre los asteroides cercanos que permitirá minar varios asteroides a la vez (y defenderte de ataques de asteroides) y alimentar la ranura-C que podrá lanzar los asteroides, pudiendo matar cualquier cosa (incluso aliados) creando una ola de destrucción (ue puede llegar a causar LAG en un sector) o ser usado como barrera contra armas de pulso o láseres. Además es la nave más resilente y la segunda más lenta del juego por el momento. Aparte de las desventajas de la nave del rango 12 también puede ser atacada por rayos mineros. Al igual que el resto de naves de Élite, tiene una debilidad de 1.5x a los ataques de PEM.

### Strategies

#### As the R17:

* Due to its only weakness that no other ships had, you would probably need to stay away from other mining ships since Ore Cannon is already unlocked with Mining Laser.
	+ If you're facing a R2 bot, blast it off quickly with Spreadshot or Minigun, due to those weapon's DPS nature.

#### Against the R17:

* You would need fast recognition to kill this ship quickly, if you are slow recognizing enemy ship's ranks try turbo-ing around the ship to recognize the ship, then blast it off with an Ore Cannon.
* If you are the R17's normal counterpart (the R12), don't worry, just bring a medic if needed, and most importantly, an Ore Cannon, as R17 is weak to it and all of the other ships are immune. The R17 would be crippled in no time.
* Since R16-R20 has a weakness to EMP, bringing EMP weapons (most recommended to bring EMP missiles) to stun the R17, then finish them off with an Ore Cannon.

#### During an R17 Duel:

* Going in a R17 duel is very difficult, assuming you and the other R17 bring both Ore Cannon and EMP Missiles, you both can be completely screwed. If you had to do a R17 duel, just hope that you did the first Ore Cannon hit, assuming both stats are the same.
