The Vortex is an attack vessel engineered for rapid response, designed to be tough and capable of safely deploying a small strike or dive team. Armed with multiple turrets, it can provide heavy overwatch to deployed troops, clearing a safe zone for extraction. Brought to you by Frontier Shipyards!

Stats:

  • Class: Attack Tier: 2
  • Price: 16500 mk
  • Recommended Crew: 3 - 5 (more if you want a proper strike or dive team)
  • Horizontal speed: 28 km/h
  • Vertical speed: -19/18 km/h
  • Size: 26x7 m
  • Cargo Capacity: 20 Crates

Most shuttle shells have equal HP to regular ones
(nothing above 200HP, of course, don't you worry)

Features:

  • Engine Boost | Boosts your engine speed to 50 km/h (works only horizontally). During this time, discharge coils will stun most of your enemies and drain your supercapacitors.
  • Power Distributor | Allows you to precisely choose which systems receive power and which don't. You can also select which docking port outputs power and which one charges your batteries (red means power out and green power in).
  • Ballast Maintenance | Lets you strategically turn off specific ballast pumps for easier ballast flora removal.
  • Text Displays & Light Indicators | Submarine features numerous text displays and light indicators providing valuable information, such as current depth, power load, or ballast tank maintenance status.
  • Exposed Relay | Here, you can wire up anything you want and turn it off if need be (connected to "Systems").
  • Lockable Doors and Hatches | Most doors and hatches can be locked; a light indicates if the door/hatch is locked (red) or unlocked (yellow). AI can't open locked doors.
  • Condition 1 | If any room except for ballasts and airlocks becomes flooded, all ship's interior lights will automatically turn red, and depending on which room is flooded, triggers an alarm alerting your crew to said room. You can manually trigger it via a lever near the navigation terminal and deactivate it once no room is flooded.
  • Lights Panel | Allows you to customize the color of your lighting without affecting other color modes (RGB).
  • SERR Kits | Spread around the vessel, these kits contain either a diving mask, a welding tool, a small amount of medicine, or firearms in case of emergency, such as your vessel being boarded by intruders or in case of a hull breach. Marked with a red arrow (SERR: Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Restoration Kit).
  • Exterior Cameras | They are accessed through a periscope in the command room; cycle through them by Left-Clicking.
  • Top Docking port hatch | Can be opened or closed; automatically closes after five seconds.
  • Moon pool + Bottom docking port | The Moon pool features a conveniently placed docking port for securing your vessel to other vessels and inserting a strike team if need be.
  • Fabricators | Submarine features a fabricator, deconstructor, and medical fabricator.
  • 5 Diving Suits | All suits refill oxygen.

  • 1x Fixed Railgun (Right)
  • 1x Pulse Laser (Bottom Right)
  • 2x Chaingun (1 Top, 1 Bottom)
