Sinkable!
After many months of anticipation my RMS Lusitania is finally here! This model runs decently well, however you may notice a drop in performance compared to RMS Aquitania, this is due to the design of Lusitania's interior. It has many design aspects that cannot be replicated without a drop in performance (skylights for example).

Instructions
1. Subscribe to this creation on the workshop.
2. Load up stormworks and create a new save for best performance, with the seed 30000
3. Once in game, teleport to the large oil rig.
4. Make sure to turn infinite electricity on and engine overheating off, this step is essential, as the model will not work if you don't change these settings.
5. Next, load up mission editor and find 'RMS Lusitania' in the mission loader.
6. Now, load in the mission. Depending on your computer it may take longer for it to load than others.
If you wish, you can also close stormworks using steam, then load up the save again for better performance.
7. Once the ship has loaded in, make your way to the control bridge and turn on all engine starters.
8. Finally, push all engine throttles forward.
History
RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner launched by the Cunard Line in 1906 as a Royal Mail Ship. She was the world's largest passenger ship until the completion of her sister Mauretania three months later. In 1907, she gained the Blue Riband appellation for the fastest Atlantic crossing, which had been held by German ships for a decade.
Though reserved for conversion as an armed merchant cruiser, Lusitania was not commissioned as such during WWI but continued a transatlantic passenger service, sometimes carrying war materials, including a quantity of .303 ammunition, in its cargo. The German submarine U-20 hit her with a torpedo on 7 May 1915 at 14:10, 11 miles (18 km) off the Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland, leading to her sinking about 18 minutes later. Only six of several dozen lifeboats and rafts were successfully lowered; there were 767 survivors out of the 1,960 people on board, while 1,193 perished.
The sinking killed more than a hundred US citizens and significantly increased American public support for entering the war, which occurred in 1917 with the United States declaration of war on Germany.
