GAMEPLAY:


The Centurion is a small vessel not good at taking hits from anything larger than a thresher. That means that to survive you need to make sure that you keep a distance and use suppressive fire.

Time is not your friend, due to size limitations a reactor could not be fitted onboard. Battery power is all you can get, usually lasting more than 45 minutes.

If the captain doesn't know how to use the given tools to properly navigate, the whole crew goes down. A brief analysis follows:

The navigation console provides three quick reaction options. FULL AHEAD, FULL ASTERN and FIRE FLAK. Full ahead and full astern give a brief but potent speed boost use it responsibly, for it consumes a lot of power. Fire flak is self-describing, double click to fire the forward facing flak cannon residing under the ship.

Above the captain's seat are three levers. The first switches between normal and overcharged engine power. The second activates the backup battery, in case you are running low and the third activates stealth mode. Stealth mode makes the Centurion almost undetectable to unsuspecting creatures. The enhanced passive sonar will help you navigate while also showing you the minimum distance you need to keep from enemies before they spot you.

Stealth will not work if the engine is overcharged and speed boosting will give away your position too. Crew running makes you easily detectable by monsters.

Next to the navigation terminal is a switch and a button. Flipping the switch arms the depth charge below the ship, hitting the button fires it.

If you read this, congratulations, you are qualified to pilot this ship and (probably) live to tell the tale.



EXTRA:

-To reload the flak cannon and depth charge you'll need to dive under the ship. There are markings that indicate both loaders.

-The Centurion has been confirmed to have killed a Charybdis once, half the crew are dead.

-If you are cornered by a swarm, boosting straight through it might work.

-Hammerheads are very dangerous, keep a good distance and suppress them. A good hit from one is sure to send you crashing down.

-Being boarded sucks, even more so when you've got nowhere to run.

-With the bottom moonpool open you can use small arms to shoot out of the sub.

-Be sure to fully recharge batteries before leaving a station.

-Pineapple pizza is not so good.

-Bots won't use the top chaingun.

-Your descend speed is where you are at you slowest, try to zig-zag if being chased and use the top chaingun for suppression.

-Many thanks to The Experimental Workshop discord for helping during testing.



Let me know of any issues or if you managed to kill an endworm. Have fun!
