Tadpole

TDP-1L Tadpole Project TDP-1L was developed by Whiskey Echo Shipyards under private commission as a streamlined, versatile, well armed exploration vessel. The signature reactor design requires maintenance of a coolant flow pump to prevent meltdowns, but this is somewhat offset with extra power grid management options, and extended backup battery life. Technical Specifications Class : Scout Tier : II Cost : 16500mk Crew : 4-8 Dimensions : 50m x 12m Crate capacity : 14 Reactor output : 5500 KW Speed : 26 km/h Ascend rate: 19 km/h Descend rate : 12 km/h Weapons : 1x Depth charge tube, 3x discharge coils, 1x small weapon mount, 2x large weapon mounts. Default comes mounted with 1x double coilgun, 1x flak cannon, 1x chaingun. 1x Additional aft "Flak Dispersion" system. Equipment : Fabricator, Deconstructor, Medical Fabricator, Research Station. Features : - Power grid management options - the Navigation terminal can toggle the sub into 'low power mode', which shuts off non-essential items such as constructors, dive suit lockers, and O2 refillers. Lights will switch to dim red emergency lighting at low power. The O2 Generator and batteries can also be disconnected from the power grid if required. Battery lifetime : Normal power mode and idling : 8. 5~ minutes Normal power mode and full speed : 5~ minutes Low power mode and idling : 16~ minutes Low power mode and full speed : 7~ minutes - If the condition of the reactor coolant pump drops below 25%, the reactor room will start to flood as the pump malfunctions. If the coolant pump condition drops below 10%, the reactor will begin to overheat and meltdown. A meltdown protection circuit is installed as a safety feature to prevent total catastrophic failure. Make sure the safety circuit is enabled! - Discha
