Adamant Heavy Transport

As far as transport subs go, the Adamant is relatively well armed for its class while also featuring several on board systems and facilities. That said, complications during its development lead to budget cuts and extensive compromises, resulting in several structural and logistical flaws.

The Adamant was designed as a heavy-duty transport ship with relatively good firepower for its class and size - at the same time, the crew would have been provided with good protection and several logistical systems.
Unfortunately, as the project dragged on and more and more compromises were introduced in the design, the Adamant ended up becoming a somewhat unreliable - albeit functional - submarine with a few glaring flaws.

The reactor is aided by a small battery array that can automatically deal with most power fluctuations - something that is crucial, since that just starting and stopping the massive engine can cause dangerous power spikes; even then, the engine takes several seconds to start up from a standstill, noticeably reducing mobility in some situations.

The 2 ballasts provide good buoyancy control but come with 3 small, overclocked pumps that consume more power than a single big one and deteriorate much faster. As a matter of fact, there's a noticeable lack of pumps around the ship, slowing down flood control by a lot.

Finally, although coming equipped with decent firepower, the Adamant has several blind spots around its hull that severely compromise its ability to defend itself against smaller targets. The 2 discharge coils in the back somewhat alleviate this problem but there are also a few weakpoints in the hull (like the glass in command) that can be easily breached.

Prepare to wrestle with the ship's design; possibly extremely dangerous with a traitor (or just trolls) on board, because most systems functions via easily-reconfigured wifi components.
