Dugong individual room features

The diagram does not visualize the 'staircases' clearly, however this should be clear without.

The electrical box wiring connections will be inspected after the basic overview.

There are two main blind spots on the Dugong, directly behind the engine blades, and directly infront of the submarine nose. There is 1 small blindspot near the docking hatch, meaning wildlife can break in moderately easily.

Default wiring in electrical

Bellow we find the default wiring in the electrical room junction boxes. Highlighted are key components that should be kept powered ideally.

Additionally, here we can see the electrical and mechanical device positions within the sub - red lines represent separate submarine rooms. This image is taken from the status monitor aboard the submarine.

Some thing to note

Dugong default reactor is weak, causing outages quite often. Recommended to upgrade it early on (more about upgrades in next section).
Captains quarters is easily flooded - if driver is uncareful, he can easily drown.
Airlock door, due to its positioning, can be confused for a standard door - this can cause flooding accidents.
Stock Hull is weak to impact, crashing into walls at medium to high speeds will case high damage to area of impact.
There are 2 Fire extinguishers on Dugong: 1 beside reactor, and 1 beside the suits locker.
Electrical coil covers the area where a 3rd gun would be placed, allowing minimum protection while the 3rd turret slot has not been purchased.

Upgrades available

@Miezhaus should be fixed now

Addendum: Dugong doesn't have a depth charge launcher, what's marked as a depth charge launcher at the top of the image is the empty spot for the third weapon.

Because it's in the comments:
Dugong has railgun ammo racks because it used to be possible to have a railgun on the Dugong. But with the update, with the "Hoist the Sails" update (Released October 5th, 2022) the rule was added that you can only place the railgun on large turret hardpoints and the Dugong didn't get large turret hardpoints, so you can still find something like this here. A remnant from the former time without any use.

@BrutHammer good point

BrutHammer 5 Jan, 2023 @ 2:19am

On pteviose updates there was an ability to change weapon hardpoint to rail gun on all subs

@Solzum Madblokka That is a good point. Probably for salvaging or transporting

wait I just realized the dugong has a railgun ammo rack but it can't field a railgun?
