i was mostly making a joke about the repair work.
bad experience ? nah baro is only bad when your getting killed with no chance too win

getting your ass pushed in for bad play or being ambushed is part of its charm sometimes it just goes wroug

The fact that you took the time to play the sub, identify its weak spots, and then tweak it to match your own playstyle and preferences — that's just awesome. You basically made it your own, and I really appreciate that. I'm also glad you understood it was meant to be a challenge, and didn’t take it as a bad experience from the start (even if it kind of was at first).
Thanks again for all the feedback — it's more than welcome!

The tip about not manually repairing the armor layers is because I intentionally gave them a very high amount of durability. If they’re destroyed by explosions or heavy impacts, the idea is that it should be nearly impossible to fully restore them mid-mission — they have to be repaired at a station.
That excessive HP was essentially a way to discourage manual repairs.
Also, it's supposed to be a battleship. In real-world heavily armored ships, even concrete was sometimes used in the armor. I found it hard to imagine Europa's creatures breaking through reinforced metal alloys and concrete, so at least where the belt armor would be, it had to be extremely tough.
This way, the belt can tank a few explosive heavy railgun shots before completely giving out — at least from the bow or stern.

also you said" 4) **Do not bother repairing external armor manually.**
- Instead, repair it at a station with credits to fully restore every point of durability."

you underestimate my power... i mean my master work arc welder from ek

if you want you can friend me i can share how i retro fitted it for dynamic eurpoa,barotramatic.

the creature pack in baro tramatic really up the challenge for this sub so i relaxed the other stuff

it still has weakness no large hard points on the bottom of the sub
and hammer heads eat the top airlock for breakfast before you have abilty to upgrade the hatchs i have mod for that

i keep the motor you get great imerison with sound proof walls mod and when you open the hatch you really hear the engine

i removed the kill rooms in ammo compartments with armour weaker and flooding sinks this sub like a rock i ran thru like 10 kill missions on hellish i think i survined 4 times? even with my fit
more players would be better i think thats great starting point for this sub

i can't stress enough how much i love the size and hull of this sub its perfect for 2 to 5 people very easy to get around in the maps

@Soft Head Thanks for the feedback, it really means a lot.
Yeah, I know it’s pretty hardcore for Europa. The weapons are bad against creatures, and the sub turns into dead weight once the top compartments flood (which happens a lot), since the suits are far and pressure kills fast.
I almost added a battery bank, but skipped it just to make things harder. Maybe I overdid it, I might tweak a few things to improve the experience a bit.
About the med bay, I ran out of space once all the core systems were placed. It bothered me too, I’ll try to find a way to fit it in. As for the fabricator... I completely forgot! I’ll see if I can add one near the generator room.
The idea was to make a powerful sub for sub-vs-sub combat, but not an op beast. That’s why feedback like yours really helps, all I had to go on was my own playtesting.

so played around with your sub i love the design and the lore but man bro way too hard core for modded playthrus on abyssal/high world hostile diff doesn't even have fab to make more fuel
and diesel subs always have battery banks i had to mod it alot in my play thrus there isnt shop on every station and zero med bay on t3 sub? i toned armour down and gave it med bay she still sinks fast and airlock is still big weak spot that being said the weapons and the hull layout are best ive ever seen for "armoured" ship sells the feeling well

note these are my opinions i do not expect you to change anything .

Finally! I swear I have no idea why it took me so long, but the damn hatch should finally work for the bots now. Thanks again @Soft Head for reporting the issue!

thank you @Soft Head, i'll take a look and i'll try to fix it

the door to storage area bots can't open it

This is my first try at making the sub compatible with the latest EK mods, instead of the older EK 1.x.x.x version I had used before.

Please try it and feel free to report any errors or bugs (lets hope for the best)



@arb0 It might take me a bit of time, but I’ll try to get back to you with the sub you asked for. I hope it lives up to your expectations!

@Bearox is tier 3, sorry i forgot to mention that

@Ironfoxxx that sounds great, don't forget to take some pictures too and stay dry!!

@arb0 Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you like the sub. I had no idea the Trieste even existed—I actually had to ask ChatGPT about it! You're spot on, they do share a similar structure.

To be honest, I’m not actively playing Barotrauma at the moment, so I can’t promise anything right now. That said, I won’t say “no” either, let’s leave it as a “maybe” for now. I’m currently dealing with some personal matters regarding my mother that need my attention, but in the future, I’d be happy to explore a variant inspired by your suggestion. Sounds like a great idea!

this is going to be the next disney cruise i go on for vacation

Tier?

Forgot my manners, award stacked.

I like your models, a lot.

I have to beg you, please consider making a new variant: with a detachable sphere minsub on the bottom, this hull is relatively close in 'feel' to the upper 'wet' hull of the Trieste. A lot of the Trieste models on here are goofy, this looks amazing.
