Having made BBW Thelon I liked having an interior hatch up to the roof. Added this into Yukon. It will bring you up right beside the spotting seat. This area is great for spotting survivors in the water. The hatch now makes it much safer and easier to go up and down from the pilot house.

It did mean removing two of the Stormlink rated seats so the rating has dropped from 20 to 18. There are other seats around if you wanted to change their names to Seat## to have a few more.

Pressurized Gases Update

= Gas relief for the fuel tanks
= Large pump for fuel out
= Diving suits on aft deck given air pump in

2025 update for rotating lights, crew snorkel improved, sleeping bunk now access via workshop not store room and other features.

Improved the tank pressure management giving it automatic controls to pump in air below 10 and open relief above 40. Manual controls are still there if wanted.

Other improvements
= dimmed the navigation lights by using slightly darker colors
= work lights changed from white to yellow, partly ascetic but also white lights could be confused with navigation lights
= after an attack by a megaladon that hit the boat twice the engines couldnt effectively start. I suspect that enough sea water got into the fuel system to block fuel supply. added a pump and filters to pull sea water out. It might be too weak to work or might take some time to clear the system but it is at least an attempt to solve this situation.
= note that after two meg bites the boat was boyant enough that one hatch or door was still accessible to get in and out to use welders. the challenge is to do it quick enough so focus on the belly first where the fuel tanks are.
= Note: a megaladon hit knocks all circuit breakers to off so you will need to turn on the main batteries and feed circuits. From the helm seat this are up and to the right.

While playing noticed a paint error which was quickly fixed.

Also took the time to rearrange the mast to make it jumpable. This means you can jump all the way to the radar dish at the top. This can be helpful when docking at tall docks or boarding other vessels.

It was already possible to jump ontop of the roof air systems and jump onto the docks. The mast jumping gives more height though a farther back from the side.

The mast jump is also great for a look out wanting to get high. This is useful for looking for survivors or crates in the water.
