HMES Darter

Description
Hey folks. I'm not dead. Just one ship this time though. Meet the escort Darter, named after an American sub of the same name, notable for spotting and torpedoing the Japanese Center Force during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. It also fits in with my other escorts, like HMES Rapid.

Darter was designed to be a torpedo boat, pure and simple. She carries nine aerial torpedoes in three triple launches, one dorsal and two ventral. With a cost of 40k, she's my fourth cheapest unit, with the other three just using simple weapons. This makes it a very efficient and useful ship when you need more striking power.

This airship also features the new propellers, for the first time on my airships. I went ahead and revamped them a little more, making them contra-rotating and using the new metal tube mesh to replace the old untextured gray rings.

Please provide any feedback you've got, I'll keep it in mind as I work on the next set of airships.

General Stats:
~40k materials, ~750 blocks
Three triple aerial torpedo tubes (8 warheads each), three 94mm deck guns, one quad 20mm AA, eight aesthetic machine guns around the smokestack platforms.
Motto: Primum In, Novissime De

@Arrowheadlock All have been updated to have the new props, more consistent AI & resource settings, and miscellaneous other improvements.

I am definitely considering it, but that would be a lot of hours of work so I can't promise it'll happen anytime soon. The old props are still usable so the airships work fine, you just can't change the props.

I'm not sure I'll ever make a refinery, though that's something that can be added onto any fortress easily enough. I haven't thought about purely defensive fortress-like craft, so that's a cool idea. I do need to build a capital (the airborne city of Rejal Katok) but that would be a huge build so no guarantees it'll happen soon.

Any chance you're considering going back and updating all of your past ships with the new propellers as well? Seem to have a full campaign fleet only missing a refinery and possibly a defensive fortress

Quite an attractive vessel!
