  Why would you want to spend 4 weeks trapped in a hotel with no windows?

    Because you’re filthy rich and want to let all those pesky peasants know how much more valuable your rich life is, so much you can literally “survive underwater” while they suffer on the surface

    It has windows.

    Clarification: the bogus AI images they’ve got have windows in the viewing gallery. It’s all bullshit though - it features the images from SAFE that are allso bullshit but keep poping up in various articles, notbaly the MRI room.

      Even if there are windows they might as well not be there because it will be pitch dark all the time. And any light you shine will reveal… nothing.

        Not so. You should really look at the info before commenting lol.

        “It’s got no windows!” - there are windows pretty clearly visible in the picture.

        “There’s no light down there!” - it tops out at 250m, light reaches about 800m.

  Let’s tear this apart.

  Length overall: 165.8 m Beam: 23.0 m Draft: 8.6 m

  Not a nautical engineer, but those seem to be comparable to known military craft. So that’s probably a decent envelope for a sub carrying ordinance and full crew. So, lots of free space for a pleasure craft.

  Range: approx. 15.000 km

  To pump these numbers, that’s likely surface cruising at some optimal speed. We can safely say this isn’t a nuclear sub, since that would be something to boast: your “range” is really “how much food do you have?” since that runs out first.

  Submerged duration: approx. 4 weeks

  This one’s tricky. There are ways to generate O2 without electricity. But the rest of your environmental controls like heat, light, plumbing, cooking, etc. draw power. So we can assume a pretty beefy battery bank on this boat, but not excessively so, in order to stretch into that 4 week range. But that’s nothing revolutionary for subs - Electric subs go back to 1888, with diesel/electric hybrids coming along after that.

  Depth: approx. 250 m

  Totally plausible and shallower than military craft. But maybe not with the viewing windows in the illustration.

  It even has a pool inside it!

  A moon pool or a regular one? Either way, that’s extravagant. But it looks like a moon pool wouldn’t work below 50m or so.

    Pffft, bush league. The Titan has been submerged for checks watch 272 days with no end in sight.

    Just a regular one, but I imagine they’ll add one if you ask for it.

      As a Subnautica player, I’d more or less demand it. Even if it limits the max cruising depth.

    Considering that the record for longest continous submersion of a diesel-electric sub is something like 2 weeks, i highly doubt that 4 weeks in a civilian vessel is achievable

      Ah, thanks for the fact-check. I didn’t think to look that up - yeah, so they’re fudging the numbers just a tad.

  I hate when they don’t post the price on the website

    if you have to ask you can’t afford it
