HMHS Ophelic

***Infinite electricity needs to be ON before spawning***

***Mission Spawns at Oil Rig***

Her fittings removed… striped to the bare minimum… wires dangle from where chandeliers once hung… decorative panelings, carpets, and tiling put in storage… her various rooms hastily emptied… transformed into medical wards… an addition of 12 more lifeboats crowded her deck… There wasn’t much of her pre-war self left, with the exception of her oak banisters, which couldn’t be removed in time…

(FICTIONAL) RMS Ophelic was the first ship of the Ophelic class ocean liners built for the Trans-Oceanic Navigation Co. She was build as means for the company to get a foot-hold in the Liverpool -New York run. complete in Early 1890 and making her maiden voyage later that same year, she would serve the Liverpool – New York run up until 1906 when she was switched to the Liverpool – Quebec City run, replaced by, larger, more modern liners, she would continue that route up until 1910 when, again, she was replaced, this time hauling freight and passengers between Liverpool and Cape town up until 1914 when WW1 broke out. Ophelic was and spent the the first year of the war transporting Canadian troops to Europe. In 1916 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship and sent to the Mediterranean. In 1917 she returned to transporting Troops and would do so for the remainder of the war. After a brief return to passenger service, she changed owners several times before being sold for scrap in 1922.

• D-deck crew passage (Connects first class stairs to second class stairs)
• Aft deck house contains V1.0 Equipment
• Functional bow anchors

Head to the bridge and turn the two keys labeled "Start Boiler Rooms", this will start the engines (this can also be done by pressing hotkey 1 on both wheelhouse and aft bridge helms). Use the throttle levers to control the engines along with reverse (again, this can be controlled by both helms)

I recommend heading to a deep water when sinking the ship as a large amount a of lag can occur when she hits the ocean floor.
The power will flicker, dim and eventually go out, so I do recommend a night time sink just as much as a day time sink however the amount of lights can reduce in-game performance.
It is not tested what happens if both sink modes are active at the same time, it will most likely result in a very fast sink or not work at all.

DO NOT turn the sink button off after turning it on, this will cause issues

This ship features two sink modes:

Sink mode 1: Simulates a torpedo/mine strike at the starboard bow of the ship, ahead of the bridge, it will take around 30 seconds for the explosion to occur after hitting the sink button. The ship will be lifted out of the water by a violent explosion and a column of smoke will follow. The lifeboat nearest the explosion might fall overboard or be blown onto the deck (this entirely random, I think it might have to do with the timing of the explosion and how the ship is sitting on a wave) immediately after this, the ship will develop a severe list to starboard, this will increase as the sinking progresses. At the same time, the power will go out briefly and come back on, it will do this several more times through the sinking. As the water reaches the first funnel the ship will rapidly begin to sink and the list will increase even more, the power will dim, then finally go out, she will eventually slip beneath the waves. This sink takes about 10-15 minutes.

Sink Mode 2: A more traditional sink seen on alot of the other vessels on the workshop. She will go down by the head slow at first then gradually picking up speed, the stern will raise high out the water and almost go vertical before slipping beneath the waves. all the while, the power will flicker as the bow dips into the water, and will eventually go out. This sink takes about 15-20 minutes.

Any locked doors are not meant to be explored

This vessel is loosely based off of the RMS Ophir
