Torpedo and Mass Driver Usage Manuals
Torpedo Launcher Manual:

Before use, find and turn on the block named "MART PB"

To use the 3 torpedo launchers along the deck (top) of the ship:
Sit in the Control Station port (to the left) of the flight seat

To use the 2 torpedo launchers along the keel (bottom) of the ship:
Sit in the Control Station starboard (to the right) of the flight seat

Once seated, to load and launch torpedoes:

1) Select which torpedo launcher you wish to utilize by selecting the hotkey tab (CTRL + 1/2/3) for the first, second, third launcher from the bow (front of the ship).

2) Press 1 to view through the launcher's camera, 2 to unlock the launcher's rotors and acquire your target by placing the target on the centre of your screen. (Torpedo range is 3km)

3) Ensure that the torpedo tubes are open, if they are not, press 3 to open or close them.

4) Press 4 to turn on the torpedo projectors. (There may be a performance drop)

5) Press 5 to turn on the torpedo welders, (there will most likely be a performance drop) wait at least five seconds or until there is no more light coming from the welders for the torpedoes to finish welding.

6) Turn off projectors or welders (either, or both) to reduce performance drain when launching torpedoes.

7) *FOR SURVIVAL* Find the group labeled "Torpedo Batteries" in the terminal, and set to recharge for at least 15 seconds. REMEMBER TO TURN OFF RECHARGE BEFORE LAUNCHING.

8) Press 6 for each torpedo you wish to launch, it is recommended to have the ship moving as slowly as possible (ideally stationary), and the launcher locked into position (by pressing 2) before firing.

Always make sure that welders are turned off before attempting to access the torpedo launcher

NOTE: Although great care has gone into the fine tuning of the torpedoes, be cautious when using these torpedoes in natural gravity, excessive tilt from the normal of the gravitational field will likely result in the torpedo being unable to leave the launcher and cause damage to the ship.

Mass Driver Manual:

To use the Mass Driver mounted on the bow of the ship:
Sit on the Flight Seat located in either the 1st Bridge or CIC

Once seated, to fire the Mass Driver:

1) First ensure shipboard gravity is turned off (hotkey page 3, button 3), and that the ship is completely stationary, then switch to page 4 of hotkey bindings.

2) Press buttons 7, 8, and 9 to toggle on the projectile's projector, the Mass Driver chamber's lights, and open the hangar door cover respectively.

3) Press 1 to view through the camera located within the chamber, then press 2 to toggle on the Mass Driver's merge block.

4) Press 4 to toggle the welder on, acquire the target by placing the tip of projectile slightly above where you intend to hit. It is recommended to toggle the gyroscopes off by pressing 5 to steady your aim.

5) Press 2 and 3 in quick succession (and in that order!) to launch the projectile. Repeat as many times as necessary.

6) Press 4 again to toggle the welders off, ensure that the merge block and gravity generators are turned off and that nothing is left in the chamber.

7) Press 7, 8, 9, again to return the Mass Driver to a non-firing state, ensure that gyroscopes are turned on before returning to maneuvers.

NOTE: Exercise caution when using the Mass Driver in a natural gravity field, remember to compensate for the drop introduced by said gravitational field.
