Hourglass

[h1]Hourglass[/h1][hr] [quote]"Inspired by the Orca series, it may bear some resemblance at first glance but its revamped compact design with a smaller interior befits more of the Hourglass dolphins. The cosy interior's half reduction in size allows for its affordability and better space efficiency had it retrofitted with increased cargo size, more crew storage and a research lab added. The improved layout and shape in a smaller form factor brings forth superior manoeuvrability, effective water flow and insulates essential compartments at the heart to ensure smooth operations for well experienced small to medium sized crews.

However, a strange phenomenon pulsating from the research lab causes time to flow abnormally half faster for installations in the Hourglass's interior. This effect results in installations to deteriorate 50% faster and fuel rods likewise are consumed 50% faster but favourably the speed of deconstructors and research table also work 50% faster. Armed with an electrical discharge coil & decoy + depth charges at bottom left, 2 small turret hardpoints positioned at the top corners, 2 large turret hardpoints at the bottom & top, the Hourglass features decent coverage but has blind spots on the back and front akin to the Orca with a coilgun & double coilgun included."[/quote]

[h2]Overengineered Features:[/h2][hr][list] [*]50% speed increase in condition deterioration for all installations, fuel consumption and deconstructor/research table. [*]Comfy compact efficient layout! [*]Dronefin! [*]Simple Smart Airlock (5C) with no extra buttons or overrides! [*]Stealth mode with adjustable switch output (0.20 on max engine) & turret lights toggle. [*]Multiswitch periscope. [*]Enemy indicator lights on periscopes. [*]Toggable auto discharge coils. [*]Togglable automatic reactor controller (A.R.C). [*]Togglable 2-in-1 automated surge protector buffer backup battery (maintains 95% charge) with a fast charge (100%) switch since it idles at 10% recharge when <95% charge. [*]Adjustable overvolt/undervolt switch (output 0-2.0x) integrated with A.R.C & battery buffer. [*]Control panel to selectively power on/off most installations. [*]Status monitor & alarms/indicators for floods, fires, intruders, airlock, fuel, temp, power and battery. [*]Supercapacitors auto adjusts recharge rate to demand (reduces load/charges faster when low). [*]Fire suppressor system. [*]Fireproofed plant area. [*]Chat terminals. [*]Chat messages for fires, intruders, low fuel, meltdown warn, oxygen, reactor and battery status. [*]Smarter ducts that don't open if room below is >3% flooded. [*]Ballast flora drain switch. [*]Quick fix foam (2x) deploy system triggered by button or chat message "fix foam". [*]Suit coloured depth meter displays. [*]Docking Port with togglable hatch while docked. Order 'ignore this' to the buttons to avoid bots being stuck. [*]Extra bottom docking port that doubles as an airlock with togglable hatch while docked. [*]Auto closing doors & airlocks. [*]Reactive lighting changes for stealth, battery, intruders and meltdown warn. [*]Light indicators for installations' power. [*]Togglable 3 mode RGB lighting (slow, wave/delay, fast)...[/list]
