Technical details

Weapon system is (probably the only thing) what makes you feel so safe on this ship. With three coil gun and a rail gun mounted on such a small ship frame, it is definitely a deadly dangerous thing of its size. And also, the glass turret window provided a fantastic view of the interesting Europa sea and native creatures.

Monster detect sonar is an extra protection which could keep you away from unfriendly fishes. It is a silent scanning system which could detect monsters within a radius of approximately 140 meters around your ship and show the position to you. However, you still need to be careful enough so you don't rush into a crowd of thrashers before you notice their existence.

Low CPU burden makes sure this ship can be properly navigated by all sailors. With an default item number of 901, this ship would provide you with a good performance in most circumstances (although it could be little bit choppy on the very beginning of map loading).

ATK-89 was initially designed as a "light-attack submarine". The navy wanted it to be good in maneuver, heavily armed but cheap enough to be built in every shipyards. In the end, designers drilled some holes on a civilian transportation submarine and mounted it with as many guns as they can. This ship soon became famous (notorious) for the unevenly large rail gun on the nose, which won him the nickname "Sardine", and its disability in defending as a war machine. After some bloody conflicts and heavy losses, ATK-89, or Sardine, was eventually replaced by better options. Nowdays you can still see Sardines in some patrolling missions or guerrilla warfare, and also, many of them were sold to brave sailors with big ambitious. This ship might not be the best ship you can find for a safe journey, but would definitely be among the most recommended choices if you are looking forward to a funny voyage.
