S-191 Barracuda

*The Barracuda is an old Barsuk class submarine. Over many voyages the sub has been heavily modified by her crews- and although she shows her age with wear and tear, cramped crew conditions and plenty of old fashioned charm, this vessel is still as reliable as ever.

"She won’t be winning any beauty contests anytime soon, but she is solid. Ship like this, be with you ’til the day you die."

"Because it’s a death trap, Captain."*

This is a refit of the Barsuk sub, usually crewed by 4, and perfect for new crews to Europa (but a competent group of 3 will manage). Bots are NOT recommended if you are going to require them to leave the sub - the airlock is too complicated for them, and teaching them to use it is too complicated for me... so, yeah.

• Dimensions; 29x12m

• Cargo capacity; 12 crates.

• Auto airlock system.

• Auto-controlled reactor (leave it in manual control - just turn it off when you dock to save that precious fuel).

• Onboard Medical fabricator with linked cabinet.

• Very cramped crew quarters, and lockers.

• Three compact ballast tanks for added safety and maneuverability.

• Various monitors to display status of important systems. ("Systems" will flash when critically damaged. "Batteries" will flash when backup power array is in use.)

• Alarm system throughout the ship to alert crew of imminent death danger.

• Three searchlights, controlled with the captain's periscope (left click to cycle through).

• Depth charge can be launched directly from the captain's nav terminal, or manually from the launcher itself by pulling the arming lever down (flashing red light will indicate it's 'armed') and launched with the switch below. Make sure to reset before reloading!

• Extra stowage drawers and lockers dotted around the sub. (Captain has personal storage in the shelves below his bunk)

• A certain charm you only find in subs that have been around since the first voyages on Europa...

• A roll of duct tape and some welding fuel to keep it holding together on your next voyage.

This is all vanilla stuff, no extra mods required - If you encounter any problems or things I may have missed, please leave a comment here and I'll update the ship regularly. Fair currents and silent seas, Captain!

Into the depths. Black sea and ice. Salt and silence...

Massive thanks for help with the Auto reactor, airlock, and wiring guide;
