Submarines[]

Azimuth[]

SCOUT class
Azimuth
Price: 10,000 mk
Superior speed, sleek design, and quality-of-life systems make this submarine a favorite among wealthy Coalition captains who manage to make it to retirement.
~ In-game description
Dimensions: 34x8 m
Recommended crew size: 3-5
Recommended crew experience: Beginner
Required content packages: Vanilla 0.9

The Azimuth was introduced in Vanilla 0.9.9.0.

Top Floor

The Airlock is on the left, with 3 Diving Suit lockers. Next are 2 Depth Charge Loaders with their buttons, and the Command Room which Navigation Terminal and Status Monitor have only the most basic wiring. Fires and Oxygen level detectors are connected to their respective alarms to the left of the Navigation Terminal, and a skilled Engineer could extend those to the Status Monitor. The Navigation Terminal's 3 signal outputs are free, and could be connected to the Depth Charge Loaders and the Batteries for instance, to allow their activation from the helm.

Middle Floor

The Oxygen Generator is on the far left, followed by the Reactor, the Junction Compartment, a basic Infirmary, and the two Coilguns' Periscopes and their respective Coilgun Loaders, notably sharing the ship's only Supercapacitor. This unusual setup means increasing the Supercapacitor's charge rate will be necessary to provide decent power to both Coilguns simultaneously, should the need arise.

Bottom Floor

The Engine room, 2 Batteries and their input/output commands, and the two Ballasts are found here.

Berilia[]

TRANSPORT class
Berilia

Top Floor

Two massive cargo rooms are found on the left, followed by the Command Room, the access hallway to the top Airlock with 3 Diving Suit lockers, and an auxiliary Junction Compartment, notably supplying power to the Command Room and the ship's 2 Supercapacitors.

The Typhon 2 was introduced in Vanilla 0.9.7.0 as an improved version of the first Typhon.

Shuttles[]

Shuttles are much smaller submarines used mostly as respawn vessels in multiplayer. They very often don't have their own nuclear reactor and their batteries are often fully charged and can store more kW power than the main submarine.

Respawn shuttles spawn only if a certain percentage of players has died. This can of course be changed to the server host's desire.

Upon spawning in the shuttle there will be fully stocked diving suits and underwater scooters, the number of spawned suits and scooters is according to the respawned player amount. They can be used in case the shuttle is not able to dock safely to the main submarine.

Most shuttles have barely any hull, because of that they are easily sunk by most creatures, impact from rocks or other submarines so knowing how to steer them is crucial.

Bunyip[]

BunyIP

The Bunyip is a respawn shuttle. It was depreciated in 0.9.7.0.

It contains three batteries that can run out of power quickly and three Diving Suits. Its velocity is lower than most vanilla submarines. It is also dangerous when the crew is not trusted, as it can be easily flooded by opening the emergency hatch.

The Bunyip was merged with the old Selkie into a new, improved shuttle also called Selkie in 0.9.7.0.

Hemulen[]

Hemulen
For when you need extra room to stretch your legs or want some space between you and the poor, choose Hemulen shuttles.
~ In-game description

The Hemulen was introduced in Vanilla 0.9.7.0.

Selkie[]

Selkie
The workhorse of the colonies, these little shuttles have good speed and dive/ascent characteristics, but they are fragile and their low-capacity batteries limit their range somewhat.
~ In-game description

The Selkie was introduced in Vanilla 0.9.7.0.

It is a merge of the BunyIP and the old Selkie.

Venture[]

Venture
Originally intended as research vessels, Venture shuttles have been co-opted as a more robust alternative for travel between outposts and submarines.
~ In-game description

The Venture is a respawn shuttle. It contains four Diving Suits, one Steel Cabinet with items for diving and two Supply Cabinets.

It is the only default shuttle in the game eventually suitable for campaign mode as venturing into locations without a store for supplying nuclear reactor rods should still leave enough battery energy for making one more trip. For preserving power when leaving the vessel during missions it is advised to modify it's wiring system so that batteries will give out power to submarine depending on whenever a relay component is toggled or not.

Drones[]

Drones are small submarines. They are battery powered, remotely controlled, and extremely fragile. They are not made to transport humans or cargo. Their task typically is to provide remote scouting and firepower. Two default submarines have their own shuttle, the Remora and the Kastrull.

In a Campaign, lost shuttles can be recovered for 1,000 mk at a Shipyard.

Remora Drone[]

RemoraDrone

This is the Remora's drone.

It has one 5 O'clock facing coilgun with a 180 degree arc.

Kastrull Drone[]

KastrullDrone

This is the Kastrull's drone.

It has one 3 O'clock facing coilgun with a 240 degree arc.
