Cyclops needs a better flashlight

[Artek [General]]

Is it just me or Cyclop's flashlights feel... inconveniently placed? They flash out the area slightly below you more than area in front of you.

I think they should be adjusted (or they could add a couple more) so that they would flash out a lot more of an area in front of you, because... I don't know, it just feels uncomfortable that those flashlights show area slightly below you, but fail to show things right in front of your steering wheel.

Maybe it could be like an upgrade? Advanced flashlight system that turns Cyclop into a swimming torch?

They actually do illuminate in front of the Cyclops. The problem is the Cyclops front window has this weird haze effect that just makes it a friggan chore to see through.

The cyclops needs a rear camera tbh :P

Try turning off the interior lights, I think it helps.

Something like that would be nice.

That was the first thing I did after finishing the cyclops!
Like in real life: try to look out of the window in the dark with lights on in your room!

I don't think it's the window, I can see just fine out of it during the day or at the surface. I think we're seeing diffuse shaft lighting from the inside but not the outside.

All the cameras can pitot 360 degrees dude. Just use the top and bottom cams to back up.

there are multiple lights on the cyclops. Behidn teh driver seat, on teh right. is s console, you can turn off the interior lights AND turn on exterior floodlights.

When you are in teh driver seat. Look down and left. You can access the exterior cameras. use yoru scroll wheel. there are two underside cameras and a tower cam.

The Cyclops window has a filter over it. The filter is also currently bugged in stable since it allows you to see your base objects from almost anywhere in the map even through solid objects. The Seamoth doesn't have the filter or its' filter is much less intrusive.

TBH thats actually a good thing!!! Especially when on occasion beacons will glitch into the map and vanish. Only happened twice but heck if I didnt see my wall of wall lockers i never would have found my base again!! lol

Perhaps convenient at the time but it means object occlusion is not working right and the game could be rendering alot more than it needs to.

i tend to view from cameras on the sub rather than from the cyclops bridge due to how hard it is to see anything through it.

Oh definitely. Especially when I am navigating the Grand Reef/Deep Grand Reef or the Lava areas.
