Experimental hybrid Attack/Transport T2. Ambitious construction that took me five days of learning and fighting with the editor's quirks. Made as a learning experiment and primarily for play amongst my friends and I. Almost gauranteed something is broken. Constructive criticism is welcome. I will be unlikely to fix non-critical issues.
Lore:
Castalia is the first and lead vessel of the XS-9XX Macula class. Her experimental launch and test voyages paved the way for her sister subs XS-910 'Cyclades' and XS-915 'Thera'. The Macula class was notable for being the first AHI vessels to experiment with high-energy electrical grids and a centralized alert system.
After a successful career ferrying cargo and people through moderate depths, AHI retired Castalia and, after removing classified equipment and applying a fresh coat of antiox, listed her for sale on the open market. To this day Thera remains in AHI service while Cyclades was scrapped after wrecking from a reactor accident.
Note:
Castalia is heavily greebled and be forewarned that the wiring is a complete rats nest. Very little is labelled and as of writing I do not intend to change that since I spent too much time on this as it is.
Yes I used a Shuttle Nav in place of a full Submarine Nav. This was a stylistic decision. Many things on this sub were stylistic decisions.
Six Guns split across three periscopes. Each periscope has a lever which switches between that station's top gun and bottom gun. The ability to switch the gun on any of the stations is duplicated to the buttons on the Con.
Also on the Con is a switch which kills the external lights, including the gun spotlights and by default excluding the hatch beacons.
Security monitor control six cameras, of which three are outside. The switch under this position mutes the alarm system.
For the following rooms, the lights are activated by a nearby switch: Armory, Medbay, Workshop, Quarters A & B, Cargo Hold, Storage, Bow Utility & Fore Ballast.
For the following rooms, the machines are enabled by a nearby left-hand switch: Medbay, Workshop
For the Armory, the depth charge launchers are armed with the left-hand switch. The launch levers will not operate unless armed.
