DSV Sea Slug

I am aware that the sub now needs ventilation and the ballast tanks need a way to blow ballast, and I am currently working on updating the sub to work with the new features released with the DLC. In the meantime, in order to play with the sub you need to have player damage off to not die, and blowing ballast is slower until I fix it.

"We are proud to welcome the DSV Sea Slug as the newest addition the National Underwater and Marine Agency's fleet. She is the first of the Sea Slug class, and is capable of diving to 20,000 Feet (6000 Meters) with a crew of two. Battery powered, the Sea Slug was designed to be used in lieu with a support ship to transport and maintain her. Despite that, her 8 batteries allow for a very lengthy dive time, and with 6 spotlights, a bubble canopy, a mini ROV, and SONAR, the Sea Slug is a very capable submersible for whatever task gets thrown at her.

Although I have briefly mentioned her features above, I would like to go into more detail about each one. Firstly:
-4 medium and 4 small batteries, totaling 8.
-A 180 degree bubble canopy and 6 spotlights making visibility no concern, regardless of depth.
-Active and Passive SONAR allowing navigation of even the darkest oceans.
-x2 Robotic Arms
-A hatch that auto-locks when 5 meters below the surface.
-Fore and Aft ballast tanks each with a capacity of around 2,300L of water.
-Emergency equipment found on the starboard wall between both the commander and ROV operator's seat.
-A radio with an effective range of up to 1,000 Meters.
And finally,
-Rope anchors found on the port and starboard side of the Sea Slug, allowing for easy storage on deck, in a cargo hold, or even for lifting the sub in and out of the water.

I would also like to take a moment to talk about her general characteristics, such as her mass, width, beam, etc.
-Her mass is 1595.5 Kilograms.
-Her width is 7.5 Meters.
-Her beam is 2.25 Meters.
-Her height is 3.5 Meters.
And finally,
-Her cost is $40,382 Stormworks Dollars.

We have spared no expense in making the Sea Slug a top of the line submersible, so on behalf of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, I am proud to announce her completion."
-A quote from Admiral James Sandecker, President of NUMA, when he announced the completion of the DSV Sea Slug to Congress.

-To start, you have to flip the circuit breaker by your right foot when sitting in the commander's seat.
-To fill the ballast tanks, you have to hit the "Ballast" button, however turning the button off causes the tanks to begin to drain.
-Sometimes you have to click the "Ballast" button on then off again to get the tanks to begin draining.
-For some reason the aft ballast tank fills faster than the fore one, but the fore tank empties quicker than the aft one. (idk why that happens, tbh)
-When ballast tanks are filled, the sub tends to very slowly sink to the bottom, even when moving, so when you're at the depth you like you sometimes have to make minor corrections to keep that depth. (I could add a depth hold, but I'm too lazy, LOL)
-Getting out of your seat while underwater causes the sub to dive, so try to stay seated or move quick.
-The ROV is kinda finicky to control because it likes to get stuck in the ground. (LOL)
-Every single electric motor is clamped to control speed, however it still takes gentle corrections or you might go faster than you'd like.
