Hammer of the Deep

The Charon-class light frigate is a type of escort ship manufactured by SinoViet Heavy Machinery and formerly in service with the CMA Navy and UNSC Navy. Ships of this class are used primarily in fleet escort duties, planetary defense, and the landing & deployment of mobile troops. This spacefairing ship has been converted to function as a submarine, and now serves as a dreadnaught in the Coalition's Navy, its MAC cannon has been replaced by a laser rated for starship hulls. Features 2 ODST pods.

Attack Tier III Price: 48,000mks Dimensions: 68x23m Cargo: 16 Crates Recommended crew size: 8-16 Recommended crew experience: Experienced

Armaments: x4 coilgun batteries, three linked turrets each, set to fire in a sequence that mirrors the Halo 2 Battle rifles fire rate. (Accidentally made the best bot weapon as the first burst usually catches a target with at least one shot, then the second hits them while they are flinching) x1 standard chaingun on the sturn end. x1 twin-linked chainguns on the aft nose above the giga laser. x1 Giga laser comprised of 4 pulse lasers set to continuous fire, functions closely to the halo 3 spartan laser. Half empties both of the linked pulse ammo boxes on use. (Do not use tri-beam lasers as the extra beams will shred the barrel.) (Repairing and reloading the giga laser should be done quickly as the radiation sink where the capacitor and loaders are is always irradiated.) x2 Depth charge tubes, set to fire with 3.5 second delay from each other, allowing the first charge to reach its target and detonate without detonating the second. (Primarily a concern for nuclear depth charges.)

Utilities: x1 Medical fabricator x1 Research lab x1 Fabricator x2 deconstructions x5 beds in total, 2 decontamination/quarantine beds in medical, and 3 cryo tubes in the cryo bay. x16 diving suit lockers positioned around the ship in relevant departments. x3 extra status monitors positioned in near the engine room, gunnery and the fabricators to make managing the larger ship easier for mechanics and engineers.

Features two ODST drop pods called "Helljumper 1" and "Helljumper 2" They can be deployed for infinite range and are ideal for abyss mining, sending a small team to downed enemy subs and beacon stations, as well as sending them directly into caves for mining missions. The pods are fragile, so the crewmen inside should be provided welders, and their battery life should last long enough if the team doesn't delay. The drop pods do not feature mineral scanners.

Features an advanced helm setup, where the 'Helmsman' is in control of the afterburners which allow the very slow ship to quickly accelerate and gain momentum for longer trips or dodge icebergs or monsters. The helmsman also has access to a toggling periscope that can switch between on top or below the submarine. The Helmsman finally is able to close the shutters on the command room in case of a breach or attack.

Additionally, the command room features a navigators chair in front of the helm, which cannot steer the sub, but has access to two rear and forward mounted transducers that allow the sonar range to be extended in either direction on toggle. The Navigator terminal features the only mineral scanner on the sub. The navigators terminal also features the helms status monitor, which the helmsman cannot access from the helm.

A experienced captain will be able to switch between the two consoles, but for ideal efficiency there should be two people coordinating in the helm.

There is a memorial in the barracks for recording lost crew members.

The toilets in the locker rooms are functional and you can hide inside them if there's traitor shenanigans or for RP, I have also noticed bots without work to do like to slack off in there which is pretty funny imo XD

Do not use the food processor in the cafeteria, it is out of order, you have been warned.

Important notes: Do not sell revolvers, assault rifles, smgs, riot shotguns or HMGs directly from the submarine, as I used some non intractable ones in the armoury sign. This can break the sign, though the sign is entirely cosmetic and the weapons lockers are labelled anyway. This ship might actually be a Paris class not Charon class, but I am having trouble finding a concrete answer one way or another. :P Its the one in the picture.
