Sea Axe - Halberd Class (WIP)

Halberd Class Patrol Boat based on DAMENS Sea Axe / Axe Bow Hulls, specifically the Stan Patrol 5009 (with significant creative liberties taken).

*Updated as of 30 Dec 2018*

Propulsion & Engines:
Have finally got around to adding engines and fixing up propulsion, with speed being brought up to a decent 17 knots (converted from m/s provided by the speed sensor of course).
Have automated much of the Advanced engine with microcontrollers such that it'll auto ignition if the engine stalls and disengage clutch once the throttle gets too low. This also helps when going into negative throttle as it's made it easy to make reversing gear automatic.
Possible future upgrade will be to automate gear changing.


Electrical Distribution System.
Using the above power system, power feeds into two generators with automated clutches (microcontrollers of course). The clutches will disengage above 90% battery, freeing up power for the propellers. Future upgrade will be to add a schmidt trigger such that the clutch engages at 50% then disengages at charge = 100%, to stop the clutch toggling at 90%.

In order to make things a bit neater and more realistic have a distribution board dedicated to each floor then each room.


Misc features:
Standout feature on here is a mission bay that deploys a RHIB on a gantry crane. One press buttons and logic have been added to automate much of the deploying and stowing of the RHIB so you can do it all from inside the RHIB.

There's a working crane on the deck , this is piloted from the upper deck pilot seat.

Reworked the flight deck and added a pop up refueling can than can give or take fuel. Went a little bit crazy with it, but happy with the result.
