Features

Access:
-Engineering is restricted to engineers and mechanics only
-Upper Rail Guns are restricted to security officers
-Control room is restricted to the captain
-Armory (where some military items and spare shells are located) restricted to
security and the captain
-Artifact Chamber can be opened by the captain, while the airlock on the other side is freely accessible from outside

Rooms and Equipment:
-A total of three Rail Guns (One at the upper left, one at the upper right and one at the lower right. The last gun can only be used in the Glass Room and can only be loaded from the outside, but is also the only one which can be shot almost from the beginning.)
-Glass Room is for scouting purposes (Comes equipped with a Solar Panel and a Railgun Controller. Super capacitor and Loader are stored above it, in one of the ballast chambers. Offers good vision but is located at a high risk position at the very bottom. Also offers a pump which need to be manually connected to the grid first in order for it to work.)
-Ceiling above two Ballast rooms are made out of glass (For an quick way to check for leaks or the general status of its content), as are the walls of Engineering. (This probably will make it harder to mess with the reactor without anyone seeing.)
-Only 3 diving suits in total. (They should be used for their original purpose instead as an general armor against damage. Encourage players to use them as a last resort.)
-Only one harpoon gun with three spears. (This makes it a high value object, but worth the trouble to get, as there is less protection.)
-Engineering is located in the center of the submarine, which forces some players to go around if they want to get to the aft. (Harder access and high visibility makes it harder to sabotage. Meltdown Temperature is at 10000 while Fire Temperature already starts at 6500. Watch your grid load and push that shutdown button if need be! It offers some tools, wires, and oxygen generator and even a minimap to better coordinate the fixing of leaks. Has also one fire extinguisher available.)
-Fabrication is located under the engine room. Its use is highly encouraged through general item scarcity and the abundance of raw materials. (For example there are not many oxygen tanks, fuel rods or railgun shells. Remember that you can descontruct artifacts, which you have one of. Also use the oxygen generator to refill empty tanks.)
-Engine with above average output and 4 seperate ballast chambers for better diving capabilities. (This leads to higher mobility, while still relatively difficult to safely maneuver the submarine.)
-Thermal artifact is locked behind high security, although you can gain access to it through the emergency airlock. (Serves as a risky source for resources or as an awesome way to get one hell of a traitor party started.)
-Stun grenades, Incendium grenades, Detonator with C4 and an easily accessible spare set of tools are hidden all over the submarine.

Misc:
-Because of the restriction of the Engineering area, you have to either go around it by using the cabins at the very top or fix the unfinished door to the equipment room.
-One of the ballast room does not function properly. Repair it to bring the sub back to 100%.
-As mentioned before, the pump in the Glass room also needs some wiring before it can be used.

Advice or rules for fun:
-Encourage players to keep the mindset of their given jobs and roleplay a bit.
-Discourage the hoarding of items, as there is not enough for everyone.
-Communicate and coordinate with each other to gain access to areas if needed, but try to be responsible with the access that you are given.
-Share the work efficiently. Let the engineers and mechanics repair, construct and carefor the reactor output. Let the security handle the Railguns and general security of
the ship. Do not shy away from work though you lazy bum.
-Be prepared for anything. Fire may also occur just because the machinery needs more juice, not just because someone sabotaged. A fire extinguisher, diving suit or even a pump may save your life. This will also lead to fried
junction boxes, so keep some tools and wires ready.
