This is another submarine made by engineer rico6822 capable of being steerable solo. Unlike The Engineer's Tube, Kennel already has additional equipment to go with for single missions with no need to visit stores. Low requirements for a crew and wide range railguns make this submarine suitable for quick elimination or salvaging missions, exceptionally that lesser crews hold lesser risk of saboteurs on board. Besides all features on submarine were designed to be non-rewireable and non-detachable. The only issue is low starting equipment.
As it's official description suggests it's combat strategy is based on landing in the areas, where submarine cannot have it's targets off-range so easily and it rather is harder or impossible to have it pushed of cliffs to make it take fall damage or in worse case the abyss.
Backup batteries are capable of giving 7000 kW power at once, enough to work like a nuclear generator. They work maximum 3 minutes of time at maximum force and are designed to give enough time to deal with broken walls and flood on the board.
Pros:
*Stable steering...
*... with no need for autopilot.
*Backup engine for crews without mechanic.
*Changes speed of submarine and direction at easily noticeable above average reflex.
*Quickly removes flood by airlock pumps.
*(By version BTE 6.5, since Research Terminal is not presented here) all non-carryable crafting devices in short range from each other.
*Forcefield panels defending most fragile part of submarine's oxygen delivery in case of flood and terminal.
*Low crew requirements...
*... lowering risk of saboteurs on board.
*Rewiring and detaching disabled on default devices to prevent sabotages and permanent damage related to it.
*Backup power can surpass nuclear reactor.
Cons:
*Reactor must be sometimes watched not to explode, since it's working on 7000 temperature.
*Starting equipment designed for solo voyages.
*No searchlights.
