Arrowhead Piké Alpha (a.k.a. Spike Def. Ed.)

The Arrowhead Piké is a small entry in the fleet but one that packs a big punch. It's extremely fast and nimble making it able to even outrun Europa's worst horrors, as long as you keep her healthy and afloat. With her immense speed however comes great caution and this is something we take seriously; the Arrowhead is equipped with a computer system which stabilises its speed if the helm would ever happen become unexpectedly unmanned. This version has the smaller cave capable Alpha drone.
In-game description of the Arrowhead Piké.

The Arrowhead has gone through many updates, previously known as the Arrowhead Spike. On record, it has ascended from Mk 1's up to the Mk 2 (available on the workshop), thereafter it got a giant update which made it into the Arrowhead Spike Definitive Edition. Finally it has gotten a new updated which has been long overdue. We are proud to announce the Arrowhead Piké, showcasing a massive update comparable to the change between Mk 2 and Definitive Edition. (The Arrowhead Spike Definitive Edition is not available anymore as the Piké is replacing it entirely.)

The Arrowhead Piké is a small, barely two story submarine that is fast and built for quick maneuverability paired with many smart functions working as safety features and crew guards. A huge feature set comes with the submarine that has been built upon over the last three versions, the Mk 1, Mk 2, and the Definitive Edition of the formerly Spike model. The submarine was built to survive with crew survivability in mind and even though the submarine is built for a small crew it can fight and operate on par with a larger vessel in combat. The mainstay feature and most significant detail is the Arrowheads unusual power delivery system.

The submarine is entirely battery powered and can support itself for medium-length missions. This submarine is not able to operate under same conditions as a nuclear submarine can due to this feature and instead require proper planning before setting sail for mission areas. The submarine is however equipped with a backup nuclear reactor though it is advised not to rely on it for power delivery as because of its much more compacted size it has significantly reduced efficiency and will not be capable of charging the battery array to full capacity even when powered with four full fuel rods.

The submarine is campaign friendly and can be recharged at stations as well as able to be upgraded in battery capacity and reactor efficiency amongst the other usual upgrades.

Update log for Mk 2 -> Def. Ed.
This Definitive Edition includes many aesthetic changes inspired by other ships. Namely the shrinkage of items and machines to be able to squeeze them together and into cabinet-like system setups. This improves the ship in two ways, first it means more items and machinery can be placed in the ship. Second, the ship looks much more aesthetically pleasing and compact.

Update log for Def. Ed. -> Piké
The Arrowhead Piké is the final form of the Arrowhead project. The Piké boasts the most beautiful details and effective computerisation of the fleet to date. The Arrowhead project has been very successful throughout development and much great knowledge has been discovered which will surely be applied to future fleet candidates.

Some important features included in the Arrowhead are:

• Twin-thruster design boasting incredible top speeds
  
• Smart airlock controls w/ wet storage
  
• Full gravitational drainage system*
  
• Ballast flora preventitive design (artificially longer growth-path)
  
• Near full toggle-able autonomous discharge coil coverage
  
• Drone capable with multiple variants
  
• Advanced manual steering computer preventing kamikaze runaways without a captain
  
• Multiple docking ports
  
• Fully battery powered (With backup nuclear reactor) (Rechargeable / campaign friendly)
  
• Power saving mode
