Not claiming any expertise here but you may need to make it a surface platform without engines - i.e., speed = 0

Oil platforms are modeled as ships in the game. A DZ has shown there are bunch of them in the db.

Status: offline 		Btw, is there any way to model something like rescue rafts, or a bailed out pilot swimming in the water? It would have to be "picked up" by a SAR helicopter, did anyone try something like this yet? I'm thinking of teleporting in a platform and just calling it "Pilot" or something like that, but maybe there's a better way.

It would be a very small, immobile surface contact, with a large visual signature to simulate the bright color and things like signal flares. You could also put a kind of "radar" on it to simulate a rescue beacon that can be picked up by ESM sensors.
