This Large Phoenix-Class heavily modified colony ship is perfect for the intense depths of Europa, built by Halifax spacewerx on Luna in 2531 its compliments include enough raw firepower to fight off any would be alien attempting to get close to the ship. used by the UNSC yet still retaining its old colony ship values such as an extensive hydroponics lab, spacious crew quarters and an accommodating cafeteria with vast storage holds. this vessel requires a large, trustworthy and experienced crew.

My Thoughts:

This sub is based off designs i found on the Spirit of Fire from Halo wars 1 & 2 however vastly shrunk down. this is my first attempted sub creation so bugs and issues may exist however extensive testing was done to make sure its usable, further versions will release fixing bugs and reworking certain areas to make the sub usable by non trustworthy crew (public servers)

-Why Tier 3? my attempts at lowering the tier never got passed the large compliment of guns, sure i could have removed a few but it would leave too many blind spots to make the sub enjoyable

-why not change the design? the idea of this sub was not to be optimal or efficient. the core focus was to make the sub look and feel like the spirit of fire so there are strange bumps and grooves that don't make sense from a tactical standpoint, as for the size i needed to shrink the sub to make it even possible yet not make the sub to small to be unrecognisable as the spirit of fire

-why only trustworthy crew members? my experience so for with Barotrauma is with teammates who don't intentionally sabotage the game so there are systems like the emergency repairs which are a series of linked quick foam grenades linked to detonators (obviously if one were devious enough they could place C4 in them) so this version requires a large crew who can be trusted not to ruin a game

-the price i was unsure what to make the price of the sub but i took the price of the kastrull and added 4 thousand marks to facilitate the guns more tweaking will come

-why Niko in the preview image because i think their cute and it might attract more attention
