SubCarrier Mk1

"This sub features a docked Attack Sub for launching scouting and attack missions and an Attack Drone to further enhance defensive and offensive capabilities. Two escape pods are ready to bring the full crew to safety in case of an unrecoverable disaster. The dual reactor system with overload protection and backup power array allows for a 99,9% power grid uptime. Other features: access control, camera systems, status monitoring, wet docks, dry storage, a flusher and lots of resources for crafting."

Think this sub is about 99% done so I might as well publish it and get some more feedback :)

----- FEATURES -----

Bridge Besides from the standard navigation equipment, the bridge has two periscopes for interior and exterior cameras (click/shoot for next camera), a row of access control buttons, buttons to sound the alarm in the reactor room or gunnery compartment, and finally a button to close the Bridge window shutter.

The terminal has two buttons, one to discharge the electric coil at the back of the bridge and the other to activate/deactive the backup battery power.

Bridge access controls:

• Lock/unlock Wet Dock A Cargo door

• Activate Drone controls (shooting/undocking)

• Activate Depth Charge Launcher

• Lock/unlock Medbay storage

• Lock/unlock Nuclear Shell storage

• Arm Attack Sub (shooting/undocking)

• Lock/Unlock Brig Access (prison cell)

Wet docks There are two wet docks available for diving missions where a lot of goods/resources need to be moved in or out the ship. The outside door can remain open so the diving party can quickly deposit or retrieve items from the wet dock storage, without the need to pass through an airlock.

• Wet Dock A is above the engine room, the small door leading to it will close automatically when there is water detected in it. (Note: when a breach occurs this door has to be cut open! Although the sub can move just fine with it flooded IF the attack sub is still attached)

• Wet Dock B is below the fabrication room and has an airlock in front of it.

• Remember to not store materials that react with water like magnesium!

Airlock The standard (personnel) airlock can be found to the right of Wet Dock A, below the bridge.

Attack Sub The attached Attack Sub can be used for scouting and attack missions and needs to be armed from the Bridge before it can shoot or (un)dock. It has it's own airlock and uses a battery pack as a power source. Note: Do not enable the backup battery (found left the battery pack, in the Attack Sub's gunnery compartment) when the main batteries of the Attack Sub still have charge!)

Attack Drone The attack drone can be used for both defensive and offensive operations. It is controlled by the Drone Controls below the Bridge after they have been activated from the Bridge. The first two periscopes operate the guns and the third is a camera which can also be used to close the ballast door inside the drone (click/shoot). Alternatively, the drone can be used to supply oxygen bottles to a diving party as there are 6 bottles mounted to the outside.

Escape Pods In case of a major disaster, the crew can use the two escape pods.

• Use the red button to launch

• Wait for the 10 second countdown. If you press the red button again you will cancel the countdown. Entering or leaving the escape pod will cancel a count down.

• Remember to turn on battery power using the shuttle terminal!

• Diving suit recommended in case of a major hull breach (keep your welder ready..)

Dual Reactor The sub has two nuclear reactors, one can be active, the other is on standby. There is a control panel to switch the reactors. The procedure to switch reactors is as follows:

• Power up standby reactor and wait for temperature to reach 5000 degrees

• Switch reactors using the lever

• Power down the previously active reactor (done automatically)

An overload protection is in place that should prevent junction boxes from overloading too much, it is normal that those batteries are very low on charge. The backup battery array can be activated from the Bridge or the Reactor Room.

Medbay The medbay is stocked with medical supplies and materials to craft more. It also features a medbay consultation window so that the rest of the crew do not need to enter the medbay to get treatment. The secure storage has antidotes and toxins to create more antidotes.

Armory The armory is stocked with security equipment and has two periscopes to view the interior and exterior (Note: if the captain is watching a certain camera, it has priority over the armory periscopes). There is also a secure storage for nuclear shells which is fitted with a security breach alarm.

Brig The brig can be found below the Bridge, left of the oxygen generator. There is a button to "rehydrate" your prisoner.

SECRETS

There are currently two secrets on this sub, one inside, one outside.
