I AM IN THE WORKS OF BUILDING AN UPDATED REPLACEMENT
i also will be documenting the build on youtube, feel free to check it out

I start off saying that almost everything in this creation is mine and made by whack_aL, that being said there are a couple lua progams i felt are very good and that are of high enough quality to use. The navigation plotter, and the camera controls on screen have been downloaded from the workshop but the rest of the ship is my creation. This ship is very very detail and it will be a little beefy to run in the dock, but if you have a good PC this should not be an issue. The ship itself fits in a default build area, and features just about anything you can think of.


START UP PROCEDURE
although i stress building as realistic as possible i am not a fan of creations that are too realistic that it ruins the playability. The start up procedure is very simple actually, it is ran through a screen next to the helm. start up is as simple as.
1- turn the key left of the helm to turn on the computer
2- Turn the pumps on
3- throttle to 100%
4- ignition
after the engine is firing and running as it should the gear boxes work autonomously and the throttle will then move down to approximatly 0 but not exactly, once this throttle lever gets re zeroed, it will then control the throttle of the electric motors for moving the ship.

The ship does have a bow thruster and can be access in page 1 of the captains computer, as well as a docking guide for the vessel.

HELICOPTER OPERATION
the first thing that should be done when using the helicopter is lower the ships speed to stopped, then the helicopter needs to be powered on with a breaker on its body, and the slider breaks need to be turned off. Note that the hangar can fit the helicopter if it is folded, this includes both rotors and a switch near the rear fin to fold the fin down and the weight stabilizers in. The helicopter is for search and rescue work, and its location is tracked by the LEGEND CLASS navigation systems, it is a short range recon drone meaning its only for locating emergencies.
The legend class holds up to two small recon drone helicopters that are controlled remotely from the bridge, the ship comes with one on board already
this helicopter is for short range recon, and features autopilot, auto hover, a swivel camera with IR and auto landing features when the ship is not moving.
to start up and fly
1- turn power on and slider brakes off (while ship is not moving)
2- turn the key to activate the monitor in the bridge
3- throttle up
4- ignition
5- this is where you can choose to use autopilot or fly manually the drone operates like a normal helicopter it is just tiwchy because it is so light. I recommend using the altitude hold and autopilot features, especially so you can tend to the ship as the drone will fly itself.
6- Landing and auto land. Once again you can land manually if you are up to it but the drone does have an auto-land feature ( it is picky and will take a while but will work if the ship is moving less than 5 knots) the auto-land is autonomous and will bring the heli back to the fight deck and land when it is positioned approprietly.

--Features--
4 Deck mounted 50cal (Water cannon's)
1 Deck Mounted 55mm (Water Cannon)
Advance Optics and navigation instruments
Bow thrusters
Autopilot, and navigation plotter
Holding Cell password is (133465)
Sinking Button

--Bridge Accommodations--
- Dual band Laser radar system that uses 2 separate radars for more accuracy and to remove any blind spots created
by the vessel.
- Wave Height sensor
1 Main map, that is capable of tracking the ships Helicopter drone Designated by the (H) on the map and the vessel's
RHIB boat designated by (RHIB) on the map. The map also tracks any and all S.O.S. signals its can connect to.
--How the Emergency SOS signal can be compatible with any other stormworks creation--
The Map tracks S.O.S. signals sent over wireless network on the frequency of 121.5
(The international distress frequency) The transmitter outputs the GPS location X on (channel 1) and
Y on (Channel 2) and the vessel itself is outfitted with its own emergency transmitter, More on that in the Saftey features section of the description.

--Full interior--
Crew quarters
Captain quarters
mess hall
cargo deck
galley
bridge
hangar
storage rooms
equipment rooms
engine room
bathrooms
The interior also features a network of different colored lines on the floors to help for navigation during an emergency. The color coded lines is a real life feature that many larger vessels have and it insures that during an emergency with no lights on one can find where they need to go, it also insures people don't get lost. Although this ship isn't the largest it does have a rather full interior and i found that this line could be useful for players that are unfamiliar.

--Cargo--
full cargo deck
100,000 liters of diesel
storage for emergency water
storage for jet fuel
hull cargo areas on on main lower deck (aft)
hull cargo areas on main upper deck (bow)
Food stores
At least one of all equipment types on board

--Safety Features--
Emergency flares that can be launched from the top deck or from the bridge
Fire Extinguishers
Fire suppression systems on the flight deck, and engine room.

Emergency Locator BOUY -- On the top aft deck there is an orange BOUY that can be launched at any time or will deploy itself if the water touches it, this BOUY sends a GPS location (X channel 1, Y channel 2) on the international distress frequency 121.5 Mhz. The ship's tracking map will track any GPS locations it receives in this format and will allow you to move towards its location.

1 Emergency Marker BOUY -- On the top aft deck there is a barrel that will float if the ship sinks and has strobe lights that can be activated as a last ditch attempt to locate where the ship had gone down.
