Description
The Baleen is a new player friendly submarine. It is intended to be easy to navigate, operate and provide a good environment to learn the game in. The idea was to make a sub that could replace the Dugong in size and improve on its features. Its weakness is its storage capacity.

With the new updates to campaign game play the Baleen comes in 3 version. Due to that you can upgrade components in the outposts I have downgraded the MkII from the MkI to be a bit underpowerd so you have a reason to buy upgrades for it to add a sense of progression. Since MkI, i have got more experience with the game and I have come to appreciate to have "shortages" of things and you can always buy more items in the store. Therefor the MkII have not as much abundance of items ans MkI have.

God this boat is gorgeous.

There is multiple solutions to this problem:

1. Just before docking shut down the reactor (Baleen have a button in the nav terminal for this) before clicking the dock button.

2. order a player or a NPC to shut down the reactor (if you have a engineer player, they can unlock the trait to make themself and maybe you a reactor PDA for remote reactor control)

3. connect a Wifi component to a signal checker, this combo can make you a "voice" controlled (text chat controlled) shutdown system. where you say a code-word using your in-game text radio and then have the wifi component pick that up send it to the signal checker to check if its the correct code word and then, if it is, it will shutdown the reactor

4. you can wire up the dockingport's "state out" to a signalchecker that will, when docked, send a signal to the reactor to shutdown.

I hope this helps

@Fox. Will try that. The extended stations must draw ton of power. Is there any wayto set up to be on shore power when in port? Sometimes I'm parked there a long time if playing SP.

Thanks!

Turn off the reactor when in port, if you run the reactor anyway you will supply the outpost with power too, thus wasting your fuel for the NPCs.

MkII-C electrical room goes up in flames when at port. within a minute of starting game, with empty reactor. Must be a station power issue. I am running with station mods so maybe that is conflict. Great looking sub. I'll try different version and see if same happens.

I have re-released the Vindicator as its new iteration, the MkII

Updated features and graphical design. Check it out!

I am eager to see it. My campaign crew has enjoyed them as well.
Fox  [author] Nov 1, 2021 @ 10:23am 
That is great to hear! I got some minor changes pending for the baleen and some other subs so hopefully I will get my ass moving and release them

Tried this submarine with a brand new Among the Ancients campaign and we had so much fun with it! Very first round pirate hunt - the pirates breached us and sent us deep into the abyss where we were attacked by a charybdis. We escaped the charybdis with difficulty and got back on track hunting the pirates. After further difficulties we defeated the pirates and made it to the next zone with no losses. The submarine is excellently designed. I would like to do a full campaign using your full line of Fox submarines!

It is not impossible. The MKI and the MKII-A is equipped with them. The MKII-A is however more expensive. So if you wanna use it for the campaign you might have to start with the MKII-C and then buy the MKII-A as you can afford it
