In 1942, the prototype battleship, the HMS Defiance, went mysteriously missing without a trace. It is now 2018 and the HMS Defiance has been located and an expedition cruiser sent.

You are a member of the cruiser's diving team and have been picked to go down to the cruiser to search the ship and bring back artifacts for study. However, when you are down there, you will trigger mayhem.

Most of the mod takes place in the cruiser and you are one of few survivors as most of the crew have either evacuated or been killed. There are few weapons on board the cruiser, so you will not have a massive amount of weapons.

The mod will be quite short but it should be enjoyable none the less.

Hi, just finished playing this and quite liked it. Had to go to Youtube to figure out how to get through that last corridor where the ceiling drops though! I'd shot out every floorplate and I think I'd even whacked at the panels but not enough or in the wrong place maybe. Well you've taken some harsh words here from people who probably think they're experts because they know how to use the changelevel console command, so they're idiots if all they can say is how bad they think something is.

I'll agree the firearms could have been more polished, but I thought the sword was great! Nicely rendered and a nice variation. The only other criticism I would make is that the interiors didn't look very ship-like, if you know what I mean. But then I spent a lot of years working on ships (cargo ships not navy ships) so that's the kind of thing I'd notice anyway. But yeah, very nice job, and i'm popping over to get HMSD2 now!

Go into the room with all the crystals, go to the crystal at the back of the room and "use" it. Then you should be able to sprint through the blue force-field.

There should be, in a room facing the blue field, a stone basin with red liquid inside. Press use on the liquid and then quickly run through the field. Hope this helps!

Yeah, I quite agree - the ending was a bit dry. But glad you enjoyed the mod overall.
