Description
The HMS Kingfish was a former vessel of a rogue Coalition captain who perished of unknown causes at sea. After the submarine stopped responding to radio communication, a search party was dispatched to see what had become of the former crew. A Coalition search team came across the vessel idling in the aphotic plateau, silently drifting with a damaged reactor. Upon entering the vessel, the search team discovered the interior in a state of disrepair, with most electrical function being badly damaged and unreliable. No signs of the surviving crew were found, with the only clue to their fate being the numerous bullet holes in the interior plating and a smattering of broken glass shards lining the floor of the medical bay.

The HMS Kingfish was towed into a coalition port and repaired with the intent of re-issuing the submarine to a new crew, although endless bureaucracy and internal disputes over the former vessels shipping manifest hampered this initiative. The submarine was later sold in a Coalition police auction. This is how you, an enterprising submarine captain, came into possession of this vessel. What secrets does this abandoned submarine have in store for you? It might be worth taking a look around.....


FEATURES

-Three standard issue Coilguns, located on the upper fore side, lower fore side and lower aft side respectively.
-One dorsal-mounted railgun, fitted with a formerly decommissioned pneumatic auto-loading system
-Forward Camera accessible via the command bridge periscope
-Detachable combat-ready shuttle craft
-Remote control shuttle capability
-Special-Issue depth charge launcher
-Autonomous Reactor fire suppression system
-Brig outfitted with an illegal lethal gas dispersal system

KNOWN ISSUES

-The Mech experiences minor flooding upon redocking with the main craft. This is not an issue as it does not compromise the hull of either vessel. The water is quickly removed by the shuttle's interior pump anyway, meaning that this is only a minor annoyance and not a real problem.
-The light in the bridge is not connected to the power system, yet still functions. I'm not going to rewire the whole sub to fit one more light on the junction box array, so this is staying the way it is.

Other Information
If you like this sub, check out my others inside my collection. As this was my first real sub I put on the workshop, they are all better than this.

something that i noticed is that the supercapacitor for the mech doesnt recharge

If you mean the junction compartment, then yeah that's my bad. It was walled off in it's own hull as a primitive form of water protection so that if the airlock was opened when not docked it wouldn't damage the junction boxes.
I've pushed an update adding a door so that it can be drained if necessary. Thanks for letting me know.

I mean, if you look at the mech cockpit, there is a piece that isn't connected. The piece under the navigation monitor. It has a gap between the hulls that I was able to fix so it could drain

Well actually, the mech has a hull piece that isn't attached so it can't be drained.

Do you have it powered on? The mech uses two relays to toggle between charging off the main sub and distributing power to the main systems. These two relays are controlled by the button on the shuttle battery, which starts in the off position in order to ensure the shuttle charges on mission start.

Based upon my testing the mech can and does drain water so long as the shuttle is off recharge mode, as the power inside the battery will not flow to the junction boxes while the battery is charging. This is indicated by the lamp above the control console. If you can see the red light component, then the shuttle is currently charging. If the lamp is white, power is being distributed through the junction box and the shuttle is operational.

Be aware that the shuttle itself does not use a standard automatic docking port and thus the hatch is only manually controlled by the internal and external buttons.

Mech fills with water and can't drain!

Fantastic work if this is your first sub
