R-29 is a heavyweight transport ship. While not terribly well armed against Europa's underwater denizens, it has been retrofitted with two powerful electric discharge coils. Original design by rav2n.
–In-game description

The R-29 "Big Rig" is a Transport class submarine.

Notable Features

The R-29 has two electrical discharge coils situated dorsally and ventrally across the engineering and cargo room compartments. Compared to discharge coils in other submarines, these take 80% less power to engage - allowing them to be used much more frequently than other submarines.

  • The controls for both discharge coils are in the navigation terminal. Furthermore, the R-29 also sports a dual searchlight array similar to that of the Azimuth, overlooking the ventral side and top docking port respectively.
    • Each Discharge coil has a power requirement of 2000kw and a cooldown of 0.5 seconds. Roughly 10 blasts can kill a crawler and 15-25 can kill mudraptors.

The R-29 glass window at the command room gives the captain a premium view and also serves as a focal weakspot against breaches.

The secure steel cabinet in the command room is unique on the R-29, as it is only accessible by the captain and is not shared with security officers.

Care should be taken with the R-29's low duct count, many rooms will need to be manually drained by opening hatches or doors. To offset this, the R-29 has an above average number of small pumps (9 in total) situated around the ship allowing for a theoretically high drainage speed if all can be utilized at once.

The R-29 two supercapacitors have half the power efficiency of other submarines, meaning they take more power to recharge.

The R-29 has both a top and bottom airlock that serves as a docking port as well, similar to the Orca series of ships.

Like all transport submarines, the R-29 has a class leading reactor output (5200kw) and battery capacity/output.

Wi-Fi Channels

This submarine does not use Wi-Fi.


Trivia

  • The R-29 was added to Barotrauma after its builder, Alexander "rav2n" Voronov (as named in the credits), had won the Big Rig building competition, a competition held by the developers to give the chance for a community-built submarine to be added to the game.

Changelog

  • 0.19.8.0 Some wire and waypoint cleanup to R-29 and Remora. Added a coilgun and a couple more diving suit cabinets to R-29.
  • 0.19.7.0 Improved R-29's speed and gave it a Flak Cannon.
  • 0.16.6.0 (Rising Tide) Modified Orca 2 and R-29 reactor values so they're more in line with other subs. Fixed locked connection panel and non-interactable lights in R-29.
  • 0.15.20.0 Allowed in-game editing of lamps in R-29.
  • 0.13.0.11 (Embrace the Abyss) Fixes to R-29: fixed top docking port's control circuit, adjustments to pre-placed supplies, adjusted discharge coil power consumption, minor visual fixes.
  • 0.12.0.2 (Cave Update) Fixed R-29 cargo lights not toggling on.
  • 0.10.5.0 (Downtime Update) Introduced. Original design by "Rav2n".
