USS X-1

Description
A 1:1 scale replica of the USS X-1 Midget Submarine retrofitted with coilguns, a railgun, and a nuclear reactor to be more suited for operations in Europa.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Crew: The boat can be operated by a single experienced captain, optimal is 4 members.

Power Management: Only the battery cell that is NOT in use will be charged by the reactor, you can turn off both cells to charge them both at the same time. The Engine and Ballast pumps are powered directly by the reactor so make sure it is always fueled to prevent losing control of the boat, the lights in the control room will indicate if there is power or just look at the reactor itself.

Navigation: Use the docking lever above the engine/ballast indicator lights to dock or undock, use the navigation console to steer the ship and control the aft ballast tank for sudden depth changes/"crash dives" (Using aft ballast tank will make you dive faster). Launch controls for depth charges can also be found here.

Observation Periscope: Located above the navigation panel, use LMB to switch between deck and keel views.

Free Flood Tank (Sort of): There is also a free flood tank which can also boost dive speed. (Its no longer free flood since I put in controls for gameplay purposes)

Guns: The boat is armed with 2 coilguns (one deck and one keel) and a single railgun. They will automatically recharge when needed, you can adjust the recharge rate of the supercapacitor manually inside the electrical room to prevent losing power on other devices.

Escape Hatch: Has a simulated "moonpool" so I recommend using this when doing diving activities, just be sure to park the boat properly.

Repair & Maintenance: The electrical room can be accessed by a button under the explosives cabinet, and the main & aft ballast pumps can also be accessed by buttons to open access hatches to them.

Some of the assemblies I used are from Eskander's submarine replicas

The oxygen generator is not being powered not sure why, I keep dying trying to figure it out. Shame as its such a nice sub otherwise. :VGRUMPY:

Hi @Lino!

Great sub :steamhappy:

I've nevertheless encountered a small issue - one of the two ballast tanks were breached, in a way that wasn't repairable from the inside of the vessel. It's okay, I liked that.

Then the sub was agrounded, of course. And the escape hatch was obstructed and so not accessible.

So I pull the lever to open the main escape hatch (boarding hatch) to flood the sub in order to gain the exit.

But... my poor captain couldn't never left the sub. Neither with a fully functional aquascooter equipped.

Maybe it's because of the too limited hull area (the blue box zone) regarding the escape hatch?
I have no familiarity with the editor, sadly :steamsad:

@Qosmo Thanks for the heads up, I made an update that should fix that problem. Feel free to let me know if other bugs come up.

@Lino Hello fellow Sub Builder. I think that after some patches your sub received some modifications that are now makeing our electrical circuit with flaws.
The engine connects to a Relay that ends in the Lamp for power. So The reactor outputs just the 1KW and does not operate the grid. Same for ballasts and the circuitation for the AFT ballast Fill/Flush is no longer working.

I would gladly help you to make this masterpiece a star again. Contact me anytime

Кто не бом бом в электрике пишите скажу как запустить

Hey some wires are disconnected around the reactor and hanging loose just wanted to verify if anyone else is having this issue, the sub also isn't functioning. I'd fix it in the editor for myself but I have zero familiarity with the editor. This is my favourite sub kudos to the author for making something that is actually worth downloading. +REP
