MT Trailmaker

Creation for Captain_Cockerels_Gaming Build Challenge Charlie.

This is the Black Dragon Industries Motor Tanker dubbed the Trailmaker. This name is totally not lame attempt at oil-spill-based humor. I categorically, theoretically, and philosophically deny that any of my humor is crude. Now to leave that mess to the marketing and legal teams, we at BGI present the *glorious*, the **mystical**, the ***wondrous***... tugboat that we purchased off craigslist then somehow managed to fit a 24,000 liter commodity tank in, and frankensteined the wheelhouse onto the stern. We somehow managed to be surprisingly environmentally conscious while being almost completely unconscious from lack of sleep. This mini tanker features a separate wall for the hull and commodity tank to prevent unwanted disaster. There are many features (accidental and otherwise) on board this adorably proportioned... thing. There's the aforementioned spaced-from-the-hull commodity tank, as well as the same treatment for even the small diesel fuel tanks. The features go on including a state of the art menu system in lua that the chief engineer of the project learned to do in one night. But anyway the editor of this showcase text description abomination is getting tired of editing rambling unneeded smart remarks, quips, and sage advice, so the rest of the features, stats, and operating guides will be listed below. Buy our product....... Please.

Guides:

If you should fall into the water, there are handles on the sides of the hull. Due to space constraints ladders were not an option. These can be tricky to navigate. Grab the highest ones on the hull then look down for a moment to lift your character up. Quickly grab the handle on the side of the wheelhouse and look down and crouch to board. Less than ideal? Yes. Allowing only limited accessibility to facilitate more commodity storage? Absolutely!
