HMHS Otautahi 1938

Hi everyone, I would like to address that this ship is 100% fictional and is completely out of scale for an ocean liner as it is 130m. It is designed after my idea of a New Zealand liner based as a double stacker immigrant ship around the ww2 era based off of the MS Rangitane / Rangitiki / Rangitata liners. Most of the ship does not have an interior this is due to builder issues and lag reasons. There is already a decent amount of lights and so on on it so I don't want to add to the lag but I am open to ideas.

This is the second sister of the trio the Otautahi which in english translates to Christchurch, a city in New Zealand. This ship in lore was converted into a Hospital Ship and served through WW2. In 1948 it was returned to civilian service and continued its career until 1967 where a engine room fire gutted the ship and was written off.

Pronouciation: Otautahi O - toe - ta - he

V1.1 4th October 2022
- Changelog
- Added 4 more lifeboats, irl this would probably have more but I don't want to entirely fill the ship with lifeboats.

Unless your workbench is modded and you havent reached a block cap you will have to spawn the ship in the mission editor.

Settings: Infinite Ammo and electricity must be on otherwise the ship will not function.
Ship has two gears and two reverse gears, I suggest using L or R for turning because it turns on a dime.
Two throttles with electric motors so no need to worry about engines, just go for it.

-Fake Lifeboats
-Stairwell
-Scuttle
-Flares
-Some Interior
-Ball and Smoking Room
-Numerous fake rooms
-Stabilization system (Stops working after a 45 degrees tilt or so)
- 12 Electric motors, I was going to put in diesel engines but decided against it.

MS Ranginaki 1938 - 1968 - Entered WW2 as a Troopship, Returned to civilian service in 1949.
MS Otautahi 1938 - 1967 Entered WW2 as a Hospital Ship, Returned to civilian service in 1948.
MS Kirikiriroa 1938 - 1941 Entered WW2 as a Auxiliary Cruiser and sunk by German raiders in 1942 in the Tasman Sea.

If the ship exceeds a tilt of 45 degrees it may fully capsize and sink. Ship is top heavy lol.


Please do not reupload or rip parts off this ship without my permission.
I am open to critism and ideas about how I could improve this ship, Please report problems and bugs with the ship, I would greatly appreciate it.

Note: Should be spawned in a mission with infinite electricity.
