COBALT - Budget Starter Sub

A Tier 1 Transport made with the vanilla campaign experience in mind.

Ingame Description

The LH12-F “COBALT” is a small, short distance submarine that comes in many variants from science vessels, personnel carriers, medical ships and many engineering configurations. Its price, modularity and the addition of various autonomous features lessening the need for personnel makes it an attractive choice for smaller outfits. This variant is a cargo transporter, hauling impressive loads for its size.

Ahhh the transport class of ships, underutilized and for good reason. The further you get into the campaign the less transport missions come up and the more you need firepower and agility. Maybe with the new expansion coming up they could see their glow up, but for now the only way I see a transport working is as a tier 1, and seeing as the camel is unobtainable of the bat I wanted to make one myself. While I wanted to make a transport the main thing I wanted to do with this sub was to practice and improve my electrical engineering. While I have been happy with my previous power grids there is always something to be done with efficiency and especially creating order and cohesion in my grid designs, improving player interaction.
