Salutations, Kapitan. It seems you've come to be in possession of a rather... Intriguing heap of scrap. Do you believe it to be merely that? For it is not. You are trespassing upon an ancient failure of the Coalition - the bits and pieces of what should have been the deep abyss exploration vessel: the Yatagarasu "Crow's Claw". Now, you could make like the rest and simply throw this mobile trashcan to the raptors, or scam some poor idiot out of a few marks... Or you could work with us to restore this creature to its true and intended glory. Do think about the offer, yes?
- Ilya Kazami, Illusory Workshop Director
Presenting the Crow Class of submarines: a pack of three submarines, all based upon the ancient prototype vessel "Yatagarasu": The C-32S "Dullahan", the C-71Y "Hydra" and the C-X3K "Dragon".
These vessels come in two types - the "V" designation, which is mostly vanilla and only requires EK Dockyard, Utilities and Sci-Fi Elements Aesthetic Pack, and the "non-V" designation, which is the "full" experience and requires quite a few mods, outlined lower down on the page.
Also, there are a few items: two melee weapons (Inverse Blade and Durandal -Wolf-), one ranged weapon (Inverse Blade -Eclipse Slash-), and three pieces of clothing (Yatagarasu's Sign, Mask and Black Wings).
C-32S "Dullahan"
"An ancient Coalition prototype Scout ship. The prototype was abandoned after the workshop responsible for building it was destroyed by an Abyssal Creature - taking most of the prototype with it. After being found by scavengers, it was bought by Separatist elements, and refurbished with what they had in hand - that is, not much. The prototype fusion reactor was scrapped, along with its high-tech engine and weapon systems - relegating it to a mere transport ship, rebuilt with random scrap. Since then, this ship has passed through many a hand, and recovered just as many times after its crew perished - the stains of blood tell a haunting story, and it is said you are never quite alone on this vessel. Good luck, captain. You'll need it."
Top Speed: ~20.8km/h.
Descent Speed: ~13.2km/h.
Reactor: Diesel-based generator, model not known, capable of outputting up to 3000kW.
Type: Transport.
Tier: 1.
Price: 5700 Marks.
Cargo: 20 Slots.
Extra: Battery capable of storing and outputting up to 1500kW.
C-71Y "Hydra"
"Hey, Kapitan. Glad you made the right choice. I know it was a pain to bring that... thing all the way over here, but you made it. And you even got us some useful information along the way. Who would've thought you would manage to find some ancient schematics for a top-secret prototype inside a creepy, abandoned abyssal research station. We'll get to work right away.
- Ilya Kazami, Illusory Workshop Director."
Top Speed: ~26.5km/h.
Descent Speed: ~12.1km/h.
Reactor: PMSR155 Nuclear reactor, capable of outputting up to 12000kW.
Type: Scout.
Tier: 2.
Price: 18000 Marks.
Cargo: 8 Slots.
Extra: Battery array capable of storing up to 16000kW and outputting up to 8000kW; Fly-By-Wire "C-W23X Crow's Pinion" torpedo system, with space-time gravitational charge "Reverse Sign -Existence-"; Silent Running mode; Ballast Flora mode.
Notes: "Those schematics truly are something. A working fusion reactor. A railcannon capable of bringing down an Endworm in a single shot. 360° laser coverage. Laser-based propulsion. I'm glad our Director's bartering skills are still on point. It will still be quite some time until we manage to develop those systems... But, for now, I think that captain will be quite happy. This is now a proper warship. We even got the gravitational torpedo system working.
- Yui Mokou, Illusory Workshop researcher and lead developer for the C-71Y Project."
C-X3K "Dragon"
"You're still alive, Kapitan. Glad to see it. We wouldn't trust anyone else with this entity other than you - so I'm happy fate let us meet again. You'll be quite happy too, once you get in the pilot's seat of our project - the "C-X3K Dragon". We heard you're going down to the Eye, so this will be quite a nice companion down there - this is a proper abyssal hunter, and I'm sure even Endworms will quiver upon witnessing this creature. The fusion reactor - the first one we produced - is sure to keep you quite warm for quite some time, and that engine is a thing of beauty - our projections are quite sure nothing will be able to catch you. And the weaponry... Oh, you'll see for yourself. Hope you don't mind ancient tech near your cockpit. I truly hope you'll take care and enjoy this to the utmost. May we meet again, Kapitan.
- Ilya Kazami, Illusory Workshop Director."
Top Speed: ~31.5km/h.
Descent Speed: ~8.8km/h.
Reactor: XRR000 Fusion reactor, capable of outputting up to 18000kW.
Type: Attack.
Tier: 3.
Price: 36000 Marks.
Cargo: 8 Slots.
Extra: Battery array capable of storing up to 24000kW and outputting up to 16000kW; 2x Fly-By-Wire "C-W23X Crow's Pinion" torpedo system, with space-time gravitational charges "Reverse Sign -Existence-"; Silent Running mode; Ballast Flora mode; Experimental Self Repair System - CXRS "Opposite Sign".
Notes on Nuclear Railcannon and Laser Self Defense System: "I'd like to say we managed to avoid the pitfalls of the Coalition scum that originally tried to project this, but... We still didn't manage to completely get away from ancient technology. This still needs Ancient Power Cells, mixed with fusion fuel. You should be able to get about three or four shots from the railcannon or LSDS before needing to swap them out. Make them count, yeah?"

"Non-Vanilla" Mod List:
It should be noted that you don't explicitly need all these mods, but it is likely there will be empty spots or hanging wires without them. Feel free to edit and upload the ships as much as you want! I also might have forgotten about some mods.
