Tradewind

Tradewind | 信風號 - Experimental Attack Submarine

Tradewind is a Tier III experimental attack submarine funded by the Europa Coalition and constructed at the New Maxwell Shipyard . Designed to gather combat data while keeping its true capabilities hidden from Separatist eyes, the shipyard outfitted the vessel with numerous non-functional "decoys"—including its signature prominent sail—to mask its experimental nature. Despite its classified origins, the Tradewind is designed for reliability and ease of use. It utilizes electronic architectures dating back to before The Silence to streamline operations. Difficulty: Moderate. Well-balanced for a smooth gameplay experience without being overly punishing.

Class: Attack Tier: III Price: 32,000 Marks Cargo Capacity: 24 Crates Dimensions: 55 x 28 m Hitbox: ~50 x 15 m Item Count: ~2000 Light Count: 239 Horizontal Speed: Maximum Speed:39 km/h ; Silent Mode:14.8 km/h Vertical Speed: Ascend:19 km/h ; Descend:14 km/h

Armaments | 武裝系統

Enhanced Physicorium Coilguns (x5) Utilizing Physicorium Bar components, these modified coilguns feature a lightweight bolt carrier group and shortened recoil stroke, significantly increasing the rate of fire. Note: The increased fire rate generates immense heat; the turrets have been upscaled to accommodate advanced cooling and feeding mechanisms, resulting in higher power consumption. Torpedo (x1) Depth Charge (x1) Electrical Discharge Coils (x2)

Systems Overview | 系統概述

Hybrid Power Management : To solve the instability of traditional 5-component reactors under rapid load changes, the Tradewind uses a Battery Buffer to absorb excess output and a Supercapacitor Array to compensate for sudden power shortages. Stealth Mode : Reduces engine output, shuts down the reactor, and kills all external lights. Runs on backup power for approximately 5 minutes of silent running. Ballast Drainage System : One-button pump control designed specifically to drain the water from the ballast tank and stop supplying power to the pump. Security & Safety : Intruder Detection & Fire Alarm systems. Automated Doors (can be locked by a lever in the command room). Logistics : Item Transport System (based on InitialDesu’s design) for efficient inventory management.

UAV Overview | 無人機概述

Armament : Coilguns (x2). Navigation : Intuitive "Point-and-Click" movement via the periscope. Fire Control : Integrated camera and sight for high situational awareness. Warning: Due to the camera being mounted at the upper barrel, there is a noticeable parallax offset when aiming at targets below the drone. Experimental RTB : Features an Auto-Return-to-Base function. Note: The logic is still in the "experimental" phase—please do not rely on it. (If you have advice on optimizing the return formula, I’d love to hear it!)
