Atlas Submarine in game

[Javiro126]

I know that this submarine is a fan creation but, is there any posibility to include it in the game? I would like to create a group or something to let the developers know this project

its way to big for anthing, the Cyclops just fits through the tight spaces and the Atlas sub is way bigger looking at the fan art, it would serve no use. its a fantastic looking sub, but on paper is where it will stay, the devs know about it.

you are thinking in 1 player, but I am convinced that Subnautica will be multiplayer too

yes it will, in mod form only, but having multiplayer wont make the caves any wider.

but we will need more space in the ships for the people

It would be useful for going to the Arctic DLC
Or maybe for void exploration (too big for ghost leviathans to attack)

a big sub is USELESS in narrow caves, stop thinking of multicrap and use sense. the Cyclops just fits through, it turns like brick, slow as a snail, why would a sub, that is longer, wider and taller be of any use, and dont say "to fit more people" or i'll treat this as a "asking for multiplayer" thread in disguise which is unwanted.

Precisely, 100% this.

And besides, the Cyclops already handles like a neutrally-buoyant sack of rocks, I can only imagine that a larger, bulkier sub would be even worse if anything.

I agree with you, the atlas can´t go dawn and travel into lost river, but what about go faster? The atlas would be faster and if you need something that are far away you can get it faster than go with the cyclops

Just so people remember, the Atlas does not and never existed in the game.

'it's faster' is also the only argument people could come up with for the hovercraft way back when, and it was equally invalid then. In fact it's even less valid for an underwater vehicle larger (and thus with greater water resistance) than the 'clops, despite being perfectly valid now for the hovercraft, since it's in consideration for the Arctic DLC which may have a surface area with actual substance.

Even if the Atlas' power consumption to go at such speeds wouldn't have to be an absolute b%tch to manage (in order to avoid completely breaking the Cyclops' established physics) what if you had to cross the safe shallows to get wherever you were going fast? The Cyclops already can't handle that. Something Atlas-sized probably wouldn't even be able to cross some parts of the Kelp Forests or even Grassy Plateaus.

It would make sense if this was being built as a Star Citizen type multiplayer game, but it isn't. It just doesn't fit into a hard single player experience.

This has to be for a DLC or sequel. It is by definition for multiple crewmembers and cannot be piloted by only one at all. Or crewed properly it is simply too large.

its not being added, its a fan art creation only

[BlackWater]

Perhaps this or another deeper, more capable sub will have a use in the DLC?

[Javiro126]

Anyways I think Atlas could be a possibility of performance in Subnautica and if it is a dlc, money for the developers. All win
