She is not a submarine (WIP)
She is not a submarine, she is a ship that can dive.
Introduction
Inspired by my own fiction, "Tales of Aquatilis," an aquatic planet with a few small islands. The people there have adapted and live aboard boats. Eventually, they can dive for protection when major storms erupt.
So I created her as "live aboard" ship which can self-sustain for long periods of time. She can fish, crabbing and she have a small garden inside to provide fresh vegetables (role playing only)
The roll stabilizer need a bit more work, it reacts a bit slowly right now and she requires a smooth piloting but I am pretty satisfied. It has been a big weight distribution challenge.
Keep in mind that she is still very experimental, I will keep working on it to improve her.
Also the ship is slightly unstable, it has been done on purpose to provide a reason to the player for diving when he faces bad weather.
To dive:
- Set the underwater gearbox ratio.
- Set clutch to 1
- Set throttle at 20 aprox
- Set A thrusters pivot to 85 aprox.
The ship will start diving.
Once underwater
- Set throttle at 14 aprox
- Set A thrusters pivot to 77 aprox.
She will stabilize pich and roll automaticaly
Surface
- Set A thrusters pivot to 70 aprox.
Crab Fishing
It is very simple, just dive to the sea bead and mag all. Wait few minutes and come back to the surface with a full capture.

Important Updates
- added a system that replaces burned fuel weight with water. In long runs the ship had more buoyancy due she had less fuel aboard. Now this weight is compensated with water.
- added a bow thruster
- Moddified Crab fishing
