Thalons

Lore

Behold the Thalons, a relic of the past that emerged from the depths like a buried treasure just a few years back. Imagine excavating an ancient battlefield near Dank Point, not for gold, but for the forgotten secrets of technology. The dusty tomes of Europe whisper a tale of the Thalons and its kin, forged in the fires of war to satisfy an old empire's craving for budget-friendly yet fearsomely mighty warships. Ingenious empire engineers put on their thinking hats and conjured up a wild idea: an acidic nuclear reactor! Why? To make up for the energy struggles of yesteryears, of course.

Back then, battles were like firework displays of destruction. Picture it: no ship akin to the Thalons managed to escape the chaos unscathed. And let's not forget the poor adversaries – they went down in flames too! The Thalons holds the secrets of an era where 'skirmish' meant all-out mayhem, and surviving wasn't just tough – it was legendary.

Technicalities

The Thalons lacks comprehensive lower gun coverage; however, it ameliorates this deficiency through the implementation of its Acid Deviation System. This system facilitates the directed conveyance of engine acid fuel towards the subordinated engines, thus compensating for the dearth of protective armament. Additionally, the posterior engines feature a controlled release of acid-laden vapors, manifesting as discrete acid clouds within the ship's wake, concurrently extending the defensive envelope. This emission phenomenon extends further to encompass the ballast regions. Regrettably, the electrical infrastructure exhibits a predisposition to exothermic events, potentially resulting in combustion.

Defense Systems

• Ancient War Coilgun : Big and Fast Firing Top Coilgun but consume lots of power

• Ancient War Railgun : A single loader Front railgun with a very tight shooting window

• Turret Hardpoint : Even tho Thalons is an old submarine, an hardpoint on top front has been placed in case of newer weapon used on Europa

• Acid Engine Gaz Deviation : Through Command Room Persicope, the user can press LMB and release to activate the Deviation System to corrode the bottom of the ship.

• Frontal and Bottom Depth Charge Tube : a depth charge can be send at the bottom of at the front of the submarine, the reach is very short.

• Countermeasures Detonators : 4 detonators can be activated at the command Room, UEX is recommanded, but can be remplaced with anything if the crew is courageous enough. Don’t place explosive when lights are red.

Others

• Slidable Engineer Rack

• Acid Leaks in the ballasts

• 1 Deconstructor so you can recycle your ennemies

• 2 Airlocks, At the top and bottom, for easier boarding

• 1 Weapon Holder

• With teamwork, stealth can be achieved : Turn off turret lights at the command Room, turn battery on, reduce reactor power the most you can or turn it off AND nobody walk nor run.

• Enough Space for rewiring and most system are accessible

• AI friendly

• Smart ducts : they stop draining if the room floods too much

« My Great-great grand father was an assistant on a Thalons during the old war. He survived but none of his friends did. He also puts thumbs up on rad workshop subs »
