I agree with Undead, I like the idea of a purpose-built salvage vessel, but it needs somewhere to actually store things.

can u upload the shuttle pod as well please

(cont from last post) On the other hand, your Hephaestus only has 3 regular coilguns. It doesn't even start with its large hardpoint filled, which is the standard set by higher tier submarines. That isn't really acceptable at the stage of the game you'd be buying this (the R-29 Big Rig, at half the price and tier 2, starts with a flak cannon!)

It's possible to lose the drone during a campaign and not be able to replace it for a long time, like during the endgame. When this happens, the main sub only has 5 diving suit lockers, which isn't a reasonable amount for this sub's crew requirements.

Those were all the issues that came to mind immediately. Overall I like the sub, it has a subdued and comfy aesthetic that I appreciate. I love the use of windows, and I like it when subs have crew storage for personal belongings.

Definitely underpowered by vanilla standards, and with pathetic storage capacity for a submarine apparently designed for bringing back hauls of valuable loot. If you want to say that it's made more for hauling loot and not crates, that's fine, but it has to actually have the storage space for the materials you'd be expecting to be hauling from mid-lategame wrecks. The area with the most storage on the sub is the Armory, which should not be the case on what is supposedly a civilian vessel.

Comparing it to the nearest similar Vanilla subs, the weapon distribution seems a bit off. I think you might be operating off of old, pre-Tier design philosophies.The Hephaestus's closest direct competitor is the Winterhalter (sharing a price, both are tier 3, both feature a specialized attached module). Given that you can't buy it until later in the game, it makes perfect sense that the Winterhalter comes out of the box with a railgun, a double coilgun, and a coilgun with one small hardpoint.

Could you make it so you can undock while in the pod without needing the help of another person at the navigation terminal?
