Seahorse MKI

[h1]Lore[/h1]
The Seahorse was originally designed as a small and agile recon vessel for the European Coalition Navy to support small combat groups of heavier ships with informations. It was designed with a low sonar profile in mind and can be operated by a very small crew of two if neccessary. Later on as the MK 1 design was retired and found its way to the civilian market the ship was appreciated for its fast maneuverbulity and hated for insufficent firepower. Anyways some small crews still keep that ship in service in the oceans of europa. This one is heavily customized by its last captain with a cozy cabin and a overhaul of the helm.

Gameplay/Background

I gave my best to make this submarine fun and close to vanilla strength. I added a few QOL-Improvements so its easier to deal with some dangers in the depths of europa. This sub will start with a huge blindspot at its belly so the captain eventually has to support fights with triggerin the discharge coil. Be aware that this sub only has one supercapacitor, so pulling the trigger on both turrets and the EDC will very soon drain all power of it. Manual increasing the charging rate will improve the subs fighting capabilities. Also keep an eye on the huge airlock which will influence boyancy of this sub. Also the reactor is very weak at the beginning so you may consider upgrades soon.

My work is in asthetic ways heavily inspired by Videogames creations. Actually this sub is a remix of the sub 'VSL Sparrow' which is also influenced by the work of Videogames. Over the time I changed that sub so it suits my needs. In the end I overhauled many aspects and created something new I want to share.

I appreciated the sub for its fast maneuverbility and its very low profile. You will have fun playing in singleplayer and a small crew in multiplayer. Its a nice ship to start with if you dont mind having some advanced stuff. I gave it full production capabilities to make it suit the needs of more experienced crews and for more mod support.
