Features:

• Engine Boost | Boosts your engine speed to 50 km/h (works only horizontally). During this time, discharge coils will stun most of your enemies and drain your supercapacitors.

• Power Distributor | Allows you to precisely choose which systems receive power and which don't. You can also select which docking port outputs power and which one charges your batteries (red means power out and green power in).

• Condition 1 | If any room except for ballasts and airlocks becomes flooded, all ship's interior lights will automatically turn red, and depending on which room is flooded, triggers an alarm alerting your crew to said room. You can manually trigger it via a lever near the navigation terminal and deactivate it once no room is flooded.

• Lights Panel | Allows you to customize the color of your lighting without affecting other color modes (RGB).

• SERR Kits | Spread around the vessel, these kits contain either a diving mask, a welding tool, a small amount of medicine, or firearms in case of emergency, such as your vessel being boarded by intruders or in case of a hull breach. Marked with a red arrow (SERR: Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Restoration Kit).
