JC-04 Arkalys

Recommended experience level: Intermediate Recommended players: 1-6, Bot-friendly

The Arkalys, a high-tech scout submarine ideal for salvage expeditions in dangerous regions. It comes with voice warning messages for broken systems and hostiles, a shuttle called "The Coffin" which can take pressure up to 10km depth and withstand abyss creature attacks (rapid descent rate, ideal for mining abyss rocks, now featuring calming elevator music), and an advanced conveyor storage system which allows access to the 60 slot main storage and deconstructor from the airlock and moonpool, connecting all crafting stations, as well as linking weapon autoloaders directly to the large internal ammo storage. It also has diving suit conveyors spread around the sub that all access the same 12 slot storage. Its engine supports liquid fuel in addition to reactor power, allowing it highly increased output to make lining up the spinal mounted burst flak cannon easier. Fuel is limited and can only be refilled at stations.

***It is necessary to update the autoreactor when you buy reactor output upgrades (base value is 5000), add 3% for each upgrade bought on stations and 10% for the "Buzzin'" engineer perk. Done at the memory component next to the nav console, max 5950***

To other sub builders: feel free to take the modified sirens + sound files of Emma and include them in your own submarine, but please leave a link to this sub in your description.
