Re: A good ballast size/setup ?

I often use shuttle to swim to artifact ahead of the main ship and retrieve it, even if shuttle sinks upon opening airlock its no problem to just land a shuttle on top of ruins and exit only after landing. Seriously, leaving shuttle hovering above ground is just asking to be bulldozed by sub. Shutt...

Re: A good ballast size/setup ?

You dont really need to do that, if there are no griefers people can usually wait for pilot to land the shuttle on a sub or solid rock before exiting it. And griefers will find a way to sink the shuttle anyway, either by ramming into wall, or cutting it, or repeatedly closing/opening airlock making...

Re: A good ballast size/setup ?

You know you can see the neutral level in sub editor, right? Just select several pieces of hull you'll be using for ballast and on top left it'll show you the volume numbers and the neutral level if those hulls you selected were used as ballasts. 1/3 of the sub being ballast means neutral level wil...

Re: A good ballast size/setup ?

Depends really, in my previous design I had a bottom centered ballast system, while it was a singular horizontal shape with 3-4 pumps, it was divided by doors to prevent flooding of the entire ballast, alternatively I could push a button to open all ballast doors to allow the other sections to suppr...

A good ballast size/setup ?

After putting together a few designs for subs so far, I was wondering what size and type of a ballast on a sub determines how well it performs when areas begin to flood and take on water. Last few designs I just made them at the bottom section of the ship in a large centered space. Or do other desig...

Submarine Editor - Test Map Area

Basically what I wanted to suggest was in the editor, there should be a option to select a saved submarine design in which it would load it into a blank spaced cavern map with an AI crew of all classes. Doing so will speed up testing of submarine designs with navigation, ballast/engine functions, sh...

Re: Docking questions

Far as I know you need vertical or horizontal docking bay for your shuttle, same goes for the submarine you want to use it with. You can find them both in the Editor's misc section. Once you have both your custom shuttle and submarine in functional condition, wire both their docking bays with button...
