Pill

"It look like big bacterium"

Description

Designed by a child with next to no understanding of submarine design or construction, the pill was the result of a disastrous public contest for submitting the next Scout-class submarine design.

This design was ultimately selected for limited batch production for a variety of reasons, not least of which was because the designer was the nephew of the Europa Coalition Chairman of Arms.

The majority of the produced Pill-type subs have been gutted and repurposed as large storage containers or additional housing space for outposts, though some still find use as training vessels due to their simplistic layout.

In game description: "A wonderful specimen in great condition, spared from the scrapyard by a loving family who appreciates its cozy interior and novel design. Looking for a family who can show it the same love. It's got a couple of quirks, such as the cargo being in the ballast tank. The linked cannon setup can also be a little jarring at first, but the sub overall offers good offensive and movement capabilities. The simplistic layout is very forgiving for small crews and submariners still finding their sea legs. "

Features:

This addition comes with three versions of the Pill. All are virtually identical, except the Mk. II has a larger ballast compartment for more vertical agility and the Mk. 3 has several minor quality of life improvements made. Each of the sub versions boasts the following:

• An extremely simple and easy to traverse layout

• Size and capabilities are perfect for a small, beginner crew of 1-4 people .

• The sub has 8 coilguns , two on each corner of the ship that offer nearly complete coverage

• Sub has good maneuverability , with the Mk. 2 and Mk. 3 having better vertical ascent/descent characteristics due to larger ballast area. All of them are capable of slamming into walls at ~100 km/h though

• All the floors are transparent so it is very easy to see what's going on in the ship

• Sub contains three discharge coils for cases where the crew doesn't want to waste ammo and just wants to outrun mobs (only the Mk.3 has a dedicated supercapacitor for the discharge coils though)

• The sub also contains other features such as a toggle-able battery bank and an automatic reactor shutdown .

• All the subs are fully stocked and the Command Center cabinet has fully-equipped tool belts for every crew member.

FAQ

• Yes, the linked coilguns are weird. But they're so weird I've decided to keep them.
• The cargo room is in the ballast tank (in the Mk. II the diving suit area is too). It's fine don't worry about it.
• Cargo and purchased goods appear in the reactor area, however, so water-sensitive items don't explode when spawning in.
• The wiring does work this time (well, mostly)
• Not well-suited for traitor game modes (There are no loose vents and floors are see-through)
• The reactor starts on, and you should leave it on automatic. The reactor automatically shuts off if it begins to overheat.
• If the batteries are draining too quickly, toggle them off from the Navigation console to let them charge for a bit.
