The Angler

Updated for Among the Ancients!

"A well-equipped sub whose structured vertical layout and comfortable interior allow for operation by smaller crews. Compact fabrication, storage, and armory setups make accommodating longer missions or extra crew members easy. Expect niceties like automatic hatches, airlock status indicators, and a ship-wide electronic alarm system. Be aware of the especially thirsty reactor and the cramped C Deck."

Description

This submarine was a creative exercise in designing a sub that was operable by a crew as small as three people (but as large as six) while still being large enough to work for long campaigns. Design goals included keeping all facilities highly organized, promoting high-speed travel through the sub with automatic hatches and doors, including a full fabrication and cargo setup, and augmenting the crew's situational awareness through remote status displays and a multi-purpose vessel-wide alarm system. Secondary design goals included making the sub appear attractive and decreasing the vessel's learning curve by including a high number of visual details and labels in the sub's interior.

Important Note: The helm requires Command clearance for access, and the armory requires Command or Security clearance for access. The captain has access to a locked safe in the helm that contains seven extra IDs: three Command IDs (orange) and four Security IDs (blue). The small colored indicator outside of each room indicates the clearance level required for access.
