Coryph submarine + The Fishbowl shuttle [3-5]

Description
Originally, the Coryph was meant to be a "Mothership", holding passengers waiting their turn to sightsee on the Fishbowl, and generating oxygen and power for it. When the Europan Luxury Sightseeing Company, ELSC went under right after the first subs arrived on Europa, exploring options to regain investor funds started. The few Coryphs that were produced were swiftly sold to military and independent captains alike, converted to a more capable vessel by installing two coilguns and removing bunks.

The Fishbowl is a small exploration shuttle with excellent sight. It was the main focus of the two-ship combo, originally intended for sightseeing, this shuttle has been converted with a slightly sturdier hull. Only one of the original sightseeing versions were ever used, following the realization that aquatic life in the europan seas is exceedingly hostile.

The original name "Fishbowl" has stayed in use, though some crews prefer to call it the "Casket with a view" because of the large exposed window sections. The original shuttle had no airlock to inside, so when it was adapted for military use an airlock was retrofitted in the place of the oxygen production, however this offset the bouncy of the shuttle. The ELSC could not afford to send them back for a redesign, so in order for the shuttle to not sink, it has to be 'landed' on a surface before it is safe to use the airlock. Bored crews also use this "feature" without being landed to bet on who can not get sea-sick the longest.

This mod contains two ships, with their own features and design processes. The ships are primarily made for campaign mode, but there are some features for Traitor mode too. The power-level of the sub is meant to be similar to vanilla subs, both of the ships have their own pros and cons, though the ship is slightly more capable than most 3-5 person subs.

The Corpyh has the following features:
+ Two coilguns, the bottom coilgun has a great field of view.
+ Depth charges on the front for taking out big targets, which can easily be sighted by the shuttle, even when docked.
+ Automatic doors that can be switched to manual control in case of a breach.
+ Shuttle provides extra firepower, and the ballast tanks of the shuttle can be controlled from the Coryph.
+ Top and bottom camera.
- Limited battery capacity, sub-optimal reactor, and a nose + rear deadzone.

The Fishbowl has the following features:
+ One coilgun
+ Batteries are automatically recharged by the Coryph when docked.
+ Small profile, the sub can be used to navigate narrow passageways.
+ Great view to help with navigation of narrow areas.
+ When docked, the engine can be used to exterminate creatures near the airlock.
+ Good battery capacity for exploration, up to ~15 minutes.
- No oxygen production, masks or suits are a must.
- Slow recharge rate on the coilgun, and low battery capacity when firing undocked.
- Large sections of very breakable glass.
- Airlock filled with water offsets the bouncy of the shuttle

All issues should be fixed since the latest update, please let me know if it still doesn't work!

the docking hatch isn't wired by default, and the docking port to the shuttle keeps turning on and off.

I'm sorry to hear! I haven't played barotrauma in some time, but I'll see whether I can update it. Is there anything specifically that doesn't work or is outdated?

It's good, but it's horribly outdated

There are issues with the airlock doors between the shuttle and the ship.

I managed to glitch though the roof of the shuttle and died between it and the sub. Not sure if that's the shuttle or just barotrauma though.
