MPSV Hercules [Low-Detail]

The Multi-Purpose Support Vessel Hercules is an adaptable and reliable semi-submersible SWATH/catamaran. Jam packed with a dizzying array of features suited for many missions with your friends. This version is a lower-detailed rendition which lacks mostly anything non-essential to the game (galley, quarters, etc.) but does not sacrifice it's fidelity. There have been a few minor corrections/changes/bugfixes, if anything is broken please let me know and I will do my best to address it ASAHP!

For those who enjoyed the initial release, I have added special treat. I've finished and included the prototype DSEV Venture that was supposed to come with the ship originally. Stay tuned for more releases and expect them when you see them! Thank you again to all the subbers, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did building it! <O

Notes:
This is my first piece of published work for Stormworks, so expect a few mistakes here and there. Please report them as you find them! Also constructive criticism/feedback is welcome and requested. I built this basically as a "playset" with no particular focus in any one single area, but an overall general capability. Admittedly, it is slightly better suited for salvage/recovery work overall. I have released this project as-is due to framerates dropping to 1-2 FPS while working on the logic, features may be added/adjusted later on. Project was initiated 2020/02/10, so over a year in the making, please enjoy!
