Meander

FULLY VANILLA!

**NOTICE!!! Apparently this is getting a lot of hash errors. I've tried fixing this on my side to no avail, it's a steam issue.

If you encounter this problem, manually remove expectedhash="" from the mod file.**

BUILD STATS: 85 items, 20 structures, 3 walls, 19 lights, 5 shadow casting lights

An ultra-light sub aquatic tandem assault vessel, designed specifically for expeditions throughout Europa's underwater cavernous networks where even the smallest of shuttles may struggle to fit, and still field effective weaponry.

Armed with two split-feed miniaturized chain guns linked to a special dual-operation periscope, which allows the gunner to switch between both guns at will, this tiny craft offers unparalleled firepower for it's size, increasing the survivability of away teams on hostile fauna clearing missions immensely.

Lacking any life support systems or a pressurized interior - or an interior at all - the usage of a dive suit is necessary for operation in deep water environments. Aside from it's armament, the Meander boasts a small storage compartment, alongside an easily accessible port side weapon rack for conveniently carrying bulky firearms at arms reach, should the craft's ammunition pool run dry during a particularly hairy operation. As a happy side effect of it's minimal auxiliary systems, it's battery life is long enough for reliably completing mid-range operations while maintaining enough energy for a return trip.

It is incredibly easy to install on virtually any craft owing to it's small size and ease of installation, requiring only a free docking port - regardless of it's location - and wiring to a submarine's power source to charge it's battery.

NOTE: Despite it's electronics all not requiring repair, the sub is not invincible. If the lower hull is broken then it will be incapable of utilizing it's ballast, so while easy to repair, be sure not to ram into structures very hard or get chewed up by too many angry creatures, else you'll need to repair it with a welding torch.

CONTROLS: Flip the large lever near the front console to power the sub on/off, as long as it's battery holds charge. Pilot operates the front console, just like any shuttle. Gunner can double click to change between the rear and front gun. Lights can be toggled on/off via the console. The craft automatically recharges when docked to a wired port.
