About

The Hover Skiff (Whale Rescue) is a vehicle-class creature that appears specifically during the Whale Rescue mission in the Genesis DLC. It shares the HoverSkiff name tag with the standard Tek Hover Skiff but uses its own distinct entity ID, TekHoverSkiff_Character_BP_WhaleRescue_C, which distinguishes it from the regular rideable variant.

Admins may encounter this entity when inspecting mission-related spawns or diagnosing unexpected vehicle behavior during the Whale Rescue sequence. Because it is a mission-scoped variant, spawning it outside that context with SpawnDino using its entity ID may not behave identically to the standard Hover Skiff.

If you need a functional Hover Skiff for general server use, target the standard version instead. This entry is most relevant when troubleshooting Genesis mission scripting or auditing creature populations tied to that specific event.
