Research Vessel Kasugano Sora

The Research Vessel Kasugano Sora
A realism-oriented, multipurpose ship packed to the brim with features.
Designed with deep system simulation in mind.
Built in 0.7.24, updated and tested to work on 1.1.18

Designed with deep systems fidelity and realism in mind, the RV Kasugano Sora offers multitudes of functionality for all scenarios. With plentiful storage space, she can be configured to carry mission-related cargo and equipments in ISO Container Form such as additional fuel tanks, ROVs, UAVs, containerized remote control room, supply containers, guided missiles, and more. Primarily a Research Vessel, she is also capable of firefighting, towing and supporting diving operations. She is also capable of hosting up to 2 submersibles docked on her underwater airlock.

In short, the quick start is: close all circuit breakers, turn on the 2 small APU first, turn on 3 fuel pumps on each engine, then turn on the 3 engine from the control room. There are 2 separate electric circuits, so do monitor the batteries of each.

Licensed under CC-BY-ND, please give credits if you use it in, well, anything. And dont reupload her or any components within without my permission, do respect the 150+ hours I spent on her

That being said, feel free to share screenshots or videos of her on discord, I'd love to see what you put her through :D
