EK Solace Mk-I
Geological Survey Vessel
"The ‘Solace’ class frigate is a prospecting vessel designed for exploration and geological analysis. A rugged monohull with decent maneuverability and self defense capability; as well as carrying mineral scanning equipment, processing equipment, and two unmanned MSD submersibles. It’s variety of capabilities makes the Solace class very popular in expeditionary & mining operation support roles. However it’s small cargo capacity makes it unsuitable for large scale mining."

I don’t really have any specific plans for more submarines, feel free to suggest what kind of subs you are interested in seeing made. For example: should I bother making more industrial/cargo submarines like the Huxley, or a newer up-to-date carrier submarine, or maybe a submarine less campaign focused and more roleplay/traitors oriented?
-with the new DLC announcement, honestly expect releases of submarines to be more infrequent again as I don’t have much motivation to invest in this game now.
( Also expect that potential "EK mods remaster" to not happen after all )
