The Beluga: A Vanilla-Friendly Tier 3 Expedition Transport Submarine

A venerable frame retrofitted with updated machinery, the Beluga is a hardy, reliable cargo vessel that has been repurposed for long-range expeditions. Its lower cargo bay has been converted to carry a short-range runabout and its hull reinforced to survive contact with Europa's hostile fauna. Its streamlined frame gives it surprising mobility for a vessel of its size, though it suffers from a hungry reactor and finicky electrical systems, requiring experienced care from its crew.

This sub is modeled after the characteristics of vanilla submarines to provide enjoyable and balanced gameplay on a cool-looking vessel.

Features:

• Five total hardpoints: Four small hardpoints providing good defensive coverage of the submarine, and one top-mounted hardpoint (uninstalled) for dealing with larger dangers. -Upper and lower airlocks for ease of ingress and egress. -A short-range runabout equipped with a defensive discharge coil to aid exploring wrecks and ruins. -An battery back-up for silent running and emergencies. -A generous cargo bay to supply the colonies. -Mood lighting. -Tagged containers and tested waypoints to support bot missions and crew. -A well-appointed captain's quarters to facilitate important decisions and pipe smoking sessions. -A three-point searchlight periscope for the captain, to keep eyes on all parts of your submarine's sleek exterior (Switch lights by using the periscope trigger). -A crew lounge with jukebox to satisfy the most discerning clown. -An engineer's hideaway to escape from annoying assistants. -Hidden nooks and crannies stashed with goodies.
