Nephren

First ship of the line of Nephren-class. Syosetsuka Shipyards first operational Attack Submarine.

Specification: Tier: 3 Type: Attack Submarine Cost: 24000 Crew: 3-6 Weapon System: 1 Small and 2 Large Turret Hardpoint (Pulse Laser, Double Coil, Flak) 1 Pintle External Chaingun (can be replaced but youll have to deal with damaged loader all the time and theres no way around it)

This ship is my first submarine that was made after i played ATK-89 "Sardine" by Doge the Biologist, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2847437196.

Creator Notes: I end up liking the ball turret design since it introduced a new gameplay loop where the gunners have to manually crew the turret unless they want to get jump on. The external view looks very familiar with the Sardine but i changed the layout heavily to my taste and created a medbay for use with Neurotrauma, i also added moonpool for ease of expedition on the engine compartment. the only reference to Sardine are some of the ball turret layout but everything else are remade from scratch. I also did the wiring from the ground up and every wiring in the sub is wired by me with some bells and whistles that i added through learning the wiring. The sub might look strong at first glance but i balanced the gun by making a pair of them only using one super capacitor, and the discharge coil are linked with the back super capacitor so you cant spam it aswell, it also comes equipped with depth charge since that is one feature that i wish all subs have as standard. the fabricators and deconstructor are linked to battery so you have to choose between fabricating and limiting the sub speed or not recharging the battery and prioritizing ship mobility.

The sub are tested on campaign and should be performance friendly even compared to bigger vanilla subs.
