Ares

Deadly tier 3 attack submarine with a HUGE main caliber laser and 8 nuclear torpedoes Optimized for solo campaign, but it will be fun in a multiplayer. Waypoints for NPCs are tested and should be 100% fine

Sub is 100% vanilla

• torpedoes controlled via periscope

• automatic ballast flora removal

• automatic discharge coils

• shuttle with both remote and manual control.

• support drone with containers and shelves, controlled via periscope

• turret control override system for capitan

• hybrid power grid - reactor -> batteries -> submarine

• silent mode - limits thrust and disables the reactor

• size 70m x 16m

• 32 cargo space

• 36 km/h max speed (helm 100, no upgrades)

• 19 km/h diving speed

• 2 railguns, 6 coilguns

Some features are displayed in the video above

Torpedoes

Armed with nuclear depth charges, controlled via periscope.

Click once to launch. It will move in the direction you are pointing Click once again to detonate. Torpedo can't detonate if it's to close to the submarine, in that case lights on a torpedo will be red Torpedo will also detonate on impact, but this feature can be disabled with a button under the periscope. You can rebuy used torpedoes at the outpost. After that you can rearm them in the maintenance shaft

LASER

Powered by 4 pulse laser loaders. 4 boxes of fuel will be enough for 3 full cycles

If all power is spent, you can't fire again until laser capacitors are 100% charged

Turret control override system

Use this as a capitan to gain access to any turret right from command room Remember to press reset after use, 'cause otherwise crewwon't be able to use selected gun

Automatic ballast flora removal

Press once to initiate sequence and wait 44 seconts for it to complete

Drone

Controlled via periscope. Click and hold to undock and move. Swim close to the docking port to automaticly dock

Shuttle

Can be controlled remotely from command room, of directly from inside the shuttle. Use the button to switch between remote and manual control modes. Flora removal button inside the shuttle will just pump out all water and disable pumps, 'cause otherwise whole shuttle would've been on fire

Hybrid power system

Reactor powers batteries, batteries powers the submarine Hybrid mode can be disabled, and reactor will power the submarine directly Reactor is equipped with automatic regulating system, but the submarine is consuming a ton of energy with some big spikes, so be careful in direct power mode (or not, if you want your engineer to suffer)

If you have reactor power output upgrades or your engineer has "Buzzin'" talent, you should type command "reactor_calibrate" into the terminal. It will automaticly adjust reactor output.

Thrust reduction mode | TRM

Lowers max speed, but accelerete/decelerate thrust remains the same. Useful if you have all engine upgrades and mechanic skills. Can be activated in the terminal. Commands: "TRM on" | "TRM off"

Silent mode

Disables the reactor and significantly limits engine thrust
