Grobil - A Campaign Sub for Small Crews

The Grobil is a small sub designed to be crewed by as few as two people.
Despite its small size, the Grobil is equipped with many features that allow an experienced crew to push this sub to its limits.

Main features:

There is a back-up power array that automatically powers on / off when the reactor output is too low. The batteries may also be turned on manually from the navigation terminal or a button next to the reactor. Buttons next to the battery control the recharge rate of all batteries. Remember to crank this to 100 when docked at stations!
Management of the battery array is key to running the Grobil efficiently.

The reactor will automatically power off when docked. This can be disabled (when docking at an abandoned outpost or with a shuttle) by flipping the lever next to the navigation terminal.

Doors throughout the center of the sub will cease to open automatically when water is present on either side. This is to prevent someone accidentally flooding a room by walking near a door that has a ton of water on the other side. The blue lights above the doors will indicate if there is water present on the other side.

Supercapacitors will dynamically recharge themselves faster when they are lower on power, and slow their reacharge rate as they near 100%.

Discharge coils above the gunnery and below the engine room should help deal with the Grobil's blind spots. Coils can be activated from navigation, or from buttons next to the gun periscopes.

The sonar monitor next to the guns has a mineral scanner, but the one on navigation does not. This was inspired by the Iroh. I hope this encourages communication with your crew :).

The docking hatch can be used as an emergency temporary entrace for divers trying to escape dangers on the outside of the sub. It may also be opened for a few seconds from the command room. Some captains may choose to use this hatch to rapidly increase diving velocity in a pinch.

The green text display in the command room indicates how much fuel is left.

Side notes:

The Grobil has been classified as a deep diver simply so it can be used throughout a campaign, even in the late stages without worry.

Obviously there is a huge weakpoint on the upper right before a turret is installed on the hardpoint. I didn't want the sub to be too powerful right away.
