Die Königin Command Sub

Description

With its high firepower, excellent vertical movement and versatile logistic systems, the Queen of Europa is a large and robust vessel capable of handling any sort of situation within the depths. A crew that can offset the fuel-hungry reactor and the relatively exposed ballast will be able to achieve much.[/quote] [h1]Properties[/h1] [table] [tr] [td]Designation: [/td] [td]Tier III Attack (General Purpose Command Sub)[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Cost: [/td] [td]33000 Marks[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Size: [/td] [td]60x19 m[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Recommended Crew Size: [/td] [td]7 - 9[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Cargo: [/td] [td]16 crates[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Armaments: [/td] [td]2 coilguns, 1 double coilguns, 1 railgun, 2 hardpoints, 1 heavy hardpoint, 1 EDC[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Mobility: [/td] [td]Average[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Max Forward Speed: [/td] [td]14-15 Km/h[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Max Forward Speed (Shuttle): [/td] [td]20 Km/h[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Max Forward Speed (Drone): [/td] [td]30 Km/h[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Max Descent Speed: [/td] [td]15-16 Km/h[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Max Descent Speed (Shuttle): [/td] [td]13 Km/h[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Max Descent Speed (Drone): [/td] [td]19 Km/h[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Crafting Facilities: [/td] [td]Fabricator, Deconstructor, Medical fabricator, Research Station[/td] [/tr] [/table] [h1]How to play[/h1] [quote] Die Königin is a large sub with excellent potential: lots of firepower on all sides, great ballast flow, all sorts of on board facilities, a recon drone and evacuation shuttle for added versatility and a battery array taking care of any energy fluctuation. Be wary that the reactor consumes fuel rods 50% faster than normal, making the vessel particularly fuel-intensive, something to consider since its speed is relatively low; the 4 pumps present in the underside ballast can quickly fill up or drain water for vertical movement, drammatically improving manouverability. Remember to make use of the doors whenever the sub is flooded, allowing the aforementioned pumps to help with the situation. While the sub features a high amount of weapons, a lot of areas must be covered by installing guns on the existing hardpoints; the lower ballast in particular can be a rather troublesome blindspot before its dedicated hardpoint gets its weapon, requiring good coordination between gunnery and command.
