S.S. Starling (2nd Anniversary Update!)

Description
Happy second birthday Starling! Heres a new livery and some minor upgrades to celebrate :)

Yes she does sink. The sink button is in the engine room at the back. The button to deploy lifeboats is in front of the port nameplate

Startup Sequence
Startup is really easy, make sure the boiler systems are on, the boiler is on, and you can use the throttle lever next to the helm to control her speed. If you turn off the boiler systems controller it might explode so always keep it on.

The Numbers

Speed: 0-57 knots

Size: 76m x 13.75m

Range: 500km

Fuel: 2500+ tons of coal

Lifeboats: 4 motorised boats with capacity for 10 people each

Interior: approximately 60% Interior

Formal Description

With the luxurious art deco interiors found on ships of the 1930s and a sleek imposing exterior reminiscent of ships of the 1950s, S.S. Starling is Pennontarios state of the art ocean liner. Why choose luxury over speed, or stability over size, when you can maximize all in one single ship. That was my vision when creating Starling. She is 76 meters long and 13.75 meters wide, a third larger than Penno’s other liner Grackle. She's not the biggest liner by any means, but she is certainly an imposing ship to say the least. Her wonderful 1930s inspired art deco interiors consist of a grand entrance, dining saloon, and a pool. Not to mention her exclusive “Murmuration Theatre” and “Redwing Lounge.” Luxurious cabins and plenty of deck space will make sailing on Starling a very pleasant experience. She is made to be fast, powerful and efficient. Her power plant consists of one small firebox powered boiler, which seems dinky, until you realize it does a plenty good job of powering her 6 steam turbines fast enough to get her up to speeds of 57 knots. Her fastest speed ever recorded was 170 knots during trials. Like a loon across a lake her maximum draft of 4m is reduced to half once she's at speed. Her stability is really good with her active stabiliser active. She is able to stay righted even when being broadsided by a tsunami! Her boiler is exceptionally safe. It is a fully closed loop system so no water is ever depleted. Starling's advanced propulsion plant gives her an estimated range of at least 500 km. Her turbine bypass valve keeps the pressure at only 0.5 bar, if anything goes wrong it can be shut down and completely controlled from the bridge, eliminating the need for crew down in the engine room in case of an emergency.
She has 17 watertight compartments, and enough motorized lifeboats for 40 people, more than enough. She is extremely optimised for multiplayer.

The microcontroller I used to control her flywheels is from this creation https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2836270465

Have a nice day!!

to add onto the theory and to make some of my own lore, After the original starling sunk and went missing the designers scrambled together a new ship and all the passengers were just identified as missing and along with the terror of World war 2 no one noticed and Pennotarios got away with the cover up. The Missing Features were said to be renovations and changes after the war but people started catching on due to it literally having a different hull shape which presumably started a police investigation eventually leading to Pennotarios going temporarily bankrupt in the late 1980s

I have a theory.

This version of the starling was actually a completely different ship, built in the early 50s or late 40s, and the larger starling was actually the OG being built in the 20s, it would explain the many differences. Just a theory tho!

what is the other ship used in the images?
JofReddy  [author] 26 Nov, 2024 @ 8:20pm 
only cosmetic, wanted to keep it a time capsule of the original while updating it to the new livery :)
HurricaneRocker 26 Nov, 2024 @ 7:25pm 
are there any major mechanical alterations or is this mainly a cosmetic update?
JofReddy  [author] 7 Sep, 2024 @ 8:06am
