Kriger Heavy Tug #58

Kriger Towing & Salvage Company's introducing its brand new Heavy Tug. She's a 24meter long tug able to handle the heavy duty jobs you'd reserve for your most experienced crew.

Some stats about her:

24meter LOA
Top speed: 38knots
Adjustable trim for towing jobs
Powered by two large diesels in direct drive mode
You can disconnect the Propeller and use the boat to run just the generator or run both the propellers and generators or only the propellers.
Sticky rudders make for a smooth turn. There's a Steering Centered light to help keep a straight heading.
RPM is controlled via buttons: Idle, 30%, 60%, 100%. Applied Power controls how much clutch is depressed.
2 towing winches both with an H-Bit

Start up procedure:
Go to the wheelhouse, press the first RPM button to set it to idle.
Go to the Forecastle Deck in the control room and turn on the Fuel Valves then the Engine Ignition.

To Operate her:
Set the RPM depending on what you're doing: 30% for work and maneuver. 60% for towing and 100% for crazy speed.
USe W/S to control the Clutch Power to get her moving
Use A/D for rudders. Warning: Sticky Rudders. Use the Rudder Position and Steering Centered to help you.

Back story:
For a long time I've been trying to build a proper tug boat in Stormworks. I've gone through many builds and they were never good enough for me to feel like I should release them. Some were nerfed by the Diesel-Electric revamp, some were not properly scaled, some were not powerful enough and as it turns out I've shelved them all. This is the first tug I feel confident enough to release.
My inspiration comes from the real Damen Stan Tug 3011.

Warning: she might list a bit. I think it's because she's a bit top heavy but she'll straighten herself out.

Thanks to the wonderful Loyal Lucy from Littlerol which I've used the hull to start my build and thanks to Littlerol for his permission. You can get the Loyal Lucy right here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1800962745
