Frost Runner

A vanilla friendly Tier II Scout class vessel with a deployable drone

Frost Runner has seen well over a decade of service under the icy waters of Europa, Still serving in it's original task of surveying uncharted regions and performing salvage operations on less fortunate vessels. Frost Runner's countless voyages and use can be seen in the scuffed paint and clutter that adorn many areas of the sub.

With crew quarters and dedicated greenhouse, Frost Runner was designed for extended journeys away from colonized waters, collecting ore samples and recovering lost cargo with the help of it's deployable Jetfish submersible.

Included Features:

[*]Utility drone for supporting dive expeditions [*]Extensive ship readouts in the Helm [*]Dedicated greenhouse room with built-in fire suppression [*]Pipe weakpoint system [*]Automatic discharge coil that will zap anything (friend and foe) in proximity [*]Dedicated pump in junction room [*]Automatic battery bank that supplies emergency power to pumps [*]Surveillance center located in helm, for quick viewing of many areas of the sub [*]Smart airlocks that won't open if water is draining, and will automatically shut their interior doors if the outer door is breached by invaders (both airlocks are fitted with emergency override switches near the floor) [*]Lightswitches for every light! [*]Blastdoors for the observation deck and crew quarters window that automatically close if a flood is detected [*]Wires and components left fully unlocked, change and customize what you want :)

Jetfish

This novel watercraft is piloted from the outside and is fully independent from the main submarine. Jetfish is designed as a support vehicle for cave diving, reactivating beacon stations, or other expeditions away from the main submarine.

Jetfish Features:

[*]12 Storage slots [*]Onboard oxygen tank shelf [*]Decoy tube launcher + loader [*]Power switch at the stern [*]Emergency maintenance switch at the bow [*]Light display showing approximate remaining battery life

Narrow design should allow Jetfish to squeeze into most caves
