Remarks: This is the Fleet Type sub from the Pacific theater of
WWII.
Don't you hate it when players drop in on your nice little low
tech planet and proceed to loot, kill and maim and you don't have
anything to throw at them? Just wait till they try to refuel...
Admittedly, it is going to be outclassed by almost any
starship, but consider, most starships primarily rely on
electromagnetic and other sensors meant to find targets either in
air or in vacuum. I can't think of many spacecraft that have audio
sensors. A densitometer might find the sub, but remember the sub
is the same density as the water around it, and besides most
civilian spacecraft don't have densitometers either. Of course if
your players do have accurate sensors you can always throw a wolf
pack at them... or a battleship...
