About

The Static HoverSkiff (Whale Rescue) is a specialized, immobile variant of the standard Tek HoverSkiff that appears during the Whale Rescue mission in the Genesis DLC. Unlike a normal HoverSkiff, this version is locked in place as part of the mission scripting rather than functioning as a pilotable vehicle.

Admins may encounter this entity when using commands that target creatures by entity ID or name tag. Its name tag is HoverSkiff, shared with other HoverSkiff variants, so using the full entity ID TekHoverSkiff_Character_BP_WhaleRescue_StaticCharging_C is the reliable way to target it specifically, for example, when clearing stuck mission entities or troubleshooting Genesis mission state.

Because it is a mission-bound static prop rather than a spawnable vehicle, attempting to spawn or tame it through normal admin commands is unlikely to produce a functional result. It is best treated as a mission-environment object rather than a usable vehicle.
