Creeper

Description:

Creepers can be a harbinger of good and bad news. The pilot of a creeper is generally a sort of unsavory individual, someone who cant function on crewed ship and uses mass produced shuttles to continue their grift across Europa. Large masses of Clowns, Drug addicts, Pirates and just normal weirdos often climb from it's top hatch. Not all is bad news when you see a creeper though, their inherent small frame, lack of firepower and green captains signal that region is safe and healthy. For now..

Playstyle:

If you're doing the Drifter play-style, start here.

As you may have noticed, Creepers are small. Storage can be a challenge but there's enough to hack it, ammo crates can be stored on the floor, ammo racks are Coalition propaganda. For a vast improvement in storage use crates, I run Neurotrauma while I play so I keep a crate dedicated to excess medical supplies, a crate for weapons, and a crate for fabrication. Inside the cabinet is enough outfits for a small rag tag group, you are weirdos, opiate addicts and outlaws; Dress the part, abandon your slave spawn clothes to the void.

The turret in the front is based on a trigger system, you click and it'll switch turrets, to fire you need to hold it down.

Starting out you may notice there's a cut little sub on the status monitor. If you just see that everything mechanical outside the submarine is fine. If there's a red line below it your reactor is breaking down, the red dots show which engines are malfunctioning.

Do to it's small size the engines inherently run silently while maintaining speed. Try to use this to your advantage, it's a big ocean and your a very small vessel.

There's only two diving suits, assuming you don't get sucked out into the open ocean you WILL .. likely.. survive if the cabin floods. The ballast pump is beefy as you will often take hits and likely go plummeting to the bottom of the sea floor if you find a hammer head.

Finally.. this isn't finished being balanced. If you have suggestions feel free to leave a comment. I've gotten fairly far in a campaign with just me and one bot but this little dinky thing alone isn't field tested against the later regions, you'll want to upgrade. So more then anything, expect nerfs. Mostly in the form of forcing money sinks, it's a vessel for rping as a drifter down on his luck.
