Starter Boat RSV-135 "Noesis" Mk I
This is the very first boat I've built in Stormworks. I hope you like it. It's intended as a starter boat in career mode - towing ships is rather difficult with the Noesis, but not impossible. I welcome constructive feedback so that the Mk II can become even better.

2. Systems & Equipment
Hull: Four fully sealed and independent compartments. Each compartment features its own button-triggered bilge pump system and a dedicated battery for absolute power redundancy.
Propulsion & Cooling: Two fully independent cooling systems (each with a radiator and a small fluid tank) ensure stable engine temperatures even under sustained load.
Rescue Equipment: Integrated firefighting system with a high-pressure pump and hose. Standard equipment includes a searchlight, first aid kit, defibrillator, fire extinguisher, welding tools (surface and underwater), oxygen mask, ropes, flashlight, and binoculars.
Construction Note: The vessel was constructed almost entirely using starter career parts (only the speed sensor and display were researched, the costume tank needs to be changed to medium ones when used without any research).
3. Performance Profile
Built for reliability and control rather than raw power. The craft remains stable and fully controllable at around 55% throttle, even in 100% wind and rain. A robust, seaworthy workhorse for first-response duties.
4. Shipyard History & Name Origin
Nordstrand Schiffstechnik, based in Bremerhaven, specializes in robust, sea-ready utility vessels for the North Sea. The "Noesis" project was initiated as a prototype for a cost-effective, yet extremely reliable rescue craft.
The name "Noesis" (Ancient Greek for "understanding" or "intellectual comprehension") was chosen by the engineers to describe the project's core principle: The realization that clever design using basic components can create superior performance and survivability. The RSV-135 "Noesis" Mk I is the physical proof of this concept.
