SS Lusitanica

I give you the SS Lusitanica! Launched in 1907, she was known to be the largest ship for Matlantic Line. Not only the largest, but fastest, fanciest, most detailed ship out there! She did many voyages in her life. This was a big cornerstone for Matlantic Line. She served the seas for eight years until in 1915, when Matlantic Line was forced to participate in WWI, the Lusitanica had a refit. She was still carrying passengers but was secretly carrying torpedoes to Liverpool to help track down German ships. At the coast of Southampton, she happened to run into a U-Boat, was torpedoed thrice, and sank in 25 minutes. This was extremely fast for a ship her size. Of the 1,517 people onboard, only 498 survived. This was the new biggest maritime disaster in history.
I will not list the interior because there is too much. But there is interior ALL AROUND the ship except for boiler and engine rooms. I plan on making a 1908 refit and 1915 refit BOTH budget versions. This will wipe out a lot of interior and make it less laggy.
This includes some new features I’ve never done before, such as elevators, a SECOND CLASS, it’s only first and third class on my ships but I’ve upgraded. I’ve also added an orlop deck RIGHT above the cargo hold. I’ve experimented with so much on this ship.
About the sinking:
Two things you should know:
1. The sink button is NOT in the bridge, it is actually located somewhere else for fun. I will give you the room for it, it is in the cargo hold, but the rest of the journey is yours. Good Luck!
2. There is a certain depth that makes her sink rather ugly, I didn’t design her for that depth. Either sink her in very shallow waters, and she may end up sinking as theories sugget, or you can sink her in DEEP waters (At least 250m deep), and make her sink like in the 2005 documentary. There’s a certain depth where she grounds out too early and then takes HOOOOOOOUUUUUUUURS to go all the way down, so don’t do that.
-She goes 24 knots.
-Based off the RMS Lusitania.
-Btw, the list she makes when she sinks isn’t that good, I know. I tried the best I can to make her tilt (without capsizing), I reached the max but it’s not that big. The budget editions will be easier to do because there will be more space to play with.
-My FIRST SHIP EVER THAT DOESN’T NEED A STABILIZER! I’m really proud of this ship.

About the series of larger ships plan:
I know this is insane, but I plan on making a series of big ships after this, the next one will be a little smaller BUT it’ll be good. Here’s my BIZARRE list of ships I’m building based off the:
-Laurentic
-Oceanica REMAKE
-Lapland
-France (1910)
-Olympic
-Titanic
-Franconia
-Aquitania
-Britannic
-Majestic
-Laconia
-Statendam
-Georgic
-Queen Mary
-Mauretanica
-Normandie
-Queen Elizabeth
-America
-United States
-Queen Elizabeth II
-France (1960)
-Matlantica III (Fictional Ship)
I hate to bring in some more bad news btw, but I’ve decided that I will stop with the Matlantica III, after this I’m moving on with my life…But that’s a long way to go. (Probably ain’t even gonna happen, it’ll take too long I bet lol.) I’ve got a couple more versions of the Lusitanica before I start anyway.
I cannot make this a vehicle version as it is in two parts and it will be extremely confusing. So please do not reupload this creation.
Have fun! 🙂
