Tadpole
Single-seat submersible. Modular hull, chassis swappable for combat / cargo / scout role.
Swim accel
?1000 cm/s²
Swim accel
Top swim acceleration in cm/s². How quickly the vehicle reaches max forward speed. Higher means snappier launches and faster chases; lower means heavier inertia.
Turn rate
?55°/s
Turn rate
Angular acceleration in degrees per second. How quickly the vehicle rotates to face a new heading. Higher = tighter turning radius.
Upgrade slots
?4 (2-col)
Upgrade slots
Upgrade-module slots on the chassis. Modules are crafted at the Modification Station and provide hull depth, storage, sonar and combat utility.
Crush warning
?20s
Crush warning
How many seconds the crush-depth warning fires before the hull starts taking damage. The Tadpole gives you 20 seconds to surface or retreat to a safer depth band.
Tadpole chassis variants
The Tadpole's modular chassis system lets you wholesale-swap movement profile, abilities and carry capacity at the Vehicle Bay. Three variants ship in or around Early Access.
Haul chassis
