[o0neill]

Yeah, that does make little sense.

Really makes no sense that you have to plop out—somethimes hundreds of feet/meters down into the abyss, to, say, drink your daily ration of water.

++1 A very long time desire option that shouldn't have been made available right away the Seamoth was put into the game.

I was thinking this for a really long time. Doesn't see why I can't whip out my PDA to read some things while I'm in the Seamoth.

could even do a sudoku while thermal charging the prawn, or check the todo list and watch a cat video. o.0

Sorry, it's physically impossible to make the PDA readable in the seamoth. You see it's integrated into your butt, and there's just no way you can bend far enough to see it in that cramped cockpit.

what no cat video? ^-.-^

Some minigames on the PDA would be nice as well. So you have something to do while waiting for the cells to recharge.

Well, it worked quite well in System Shock 2, so sure, why not?

That would be good. First you still got enough to read on your pda but later you got nothing to do again. You cant tell me people in the future dont play games anymore, specialy when you are traveling to a new galaxy

+1 about being able to read the pda in the prawn and seamoth.

+1 - Ability to manage PRAWN suit inventory while sitting inside it using the PDA would be nice. Perhaps even give us the ability to swap the PRAWN's different arms while sitting inside it, too.

I like the idea of adding some minigames to the PDA as something to poke while you wait for oxygen to recharge, food to grow, water to filter, or for night to pass during the early stages of the game before you have a vehicle. But I think the devs have more important things to be working on, although we can hope. :)

Could be simple games along the lines of Commander Keen's "Paddle War", a sliding puzzle, snake, or a version of flappy bird - Or if the devs could be bothered, more complex games: Versions of Tetris, Breakout, Minesweeper or Asteroids (with the Aurora as your ship).

Subnautica is a game I like to sometimes chill in, and soak up its immersive atmosphere and soundscape. Just imagine having a real in-game excuse to do so: Sitting in a chair in an observatory in your base, playing a minigame on your PDA, while having a Subnautica biome of your choice as a backdrop, watching the wildlife do its thing - The PDA is transparent too. That'd be awesome. :)
