SC388 RV ACTROS E – High-Speed Offshore Rescue & Support Vessel
RV ACTROS is a high-performance offshore rescue and support vessel designed for demanding search & rescue, emergency response, and multi-role maritime operations. Built with realism, stability, and gameplay practicality in mind, she bridges the gap between fast SAR craft and larger offshore support ships.
Designed to operate independently in rough seas or as part of a wider fleet, the Actros excels in long-range rescue missions, and emergency response scenarios.
⚙️ Key Specifications
Mass: 41,910.5
Cost: $366,880
Top Speed: ~50 knots (calm seas)
Despite her size and displacement, Actros achieves exceptional speed while maintaining excellent handling and stability.
STARTUP PROCEDURE
1. Spawn Vehicle and wait a minute or two for the main generator to charge the batteries to above 80%
2. From the helm, activate the systems breaker and the generators button (in between the radar and sonar screens)
3. Wait for battery charge to steadily increase (above 80% to safely run EVERY system)
4. Use to your hearts content! Once the generators have built the charge, she will run as long as your game does
🚤 Performance & Handling
High-speed hull capable of ~50 knots
Stable at speed with minimal pitching or rolling
Predictable handling in rough weather, able to maintain ~20 knots
Well-balanced mass distribution for safe high-speed manoeuvres
Designed to remain controllable during rescue and recovery operations
Bow and Stern thrusters for increased mobility
🧭 Mission Roles
Actros is intended as a multi-role offshore rescue vessel, suitable for:
Long-range Search & Rescue
Emergency medical response
Helicopter support and coordination
Escort and fleet support duties
Offshore incident response
She pairs especially well with fast inshore SAR boats and dedicated heli-support or OSV vessels (fleet in progress)
🛠️ Systems & Features
Powerful main propulsion system for rapid response
Bow and stern manoeuvring capability for close-quarters operations
Spacious working decks for rescue equipment and mission gear
Fore mounted water canon and rear fire hoses for fire / rescue missions
Clear, readable bridge layout designed for operational gameplay
Night-capable navigation and deck lighting
Automatic lights for night-time operations
Foldable mast for those pesky railways
Bilge pumps placed throughout the lower deck
Internal fire suppression system
🎨 Design Philosophy
The RV Actros is designed off the basis of a yacht now operated by Maritime Search and Rescue agencies. She features a large bridge section, as well as cosmetic and functional crew facilities.
Propulsion is managed by a triple generator system (3x large flywheel generators, to try and replicate the feel of nuclear power but being actually usable in game), ensuring that she never runs low on power and can even support smaller vessels with failing systems.
🧩 Notes
The following LUA controllers are used:
3D Map - Buunuu
LUA Sonar Display - Maia
Radio Beacon Locator - Kyaace
Radar Microcontroller v6 - Testrom42
Both the Orange and White versions are included in this upload, so there is an easily customisable version if you want it.
This is my first real upload to the Workshop, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated to improve both the Actros and future uploads!
