Sidways Cyclops makes Sideways Prawnsuit!
Uhm... Ever deploy a Prawnsuit from a sideways Cyclops? :D I have!
Check this picture linky out XD

Apparently the Prawnsuit relies on the bay it is launched from to get its correct orientation. So launching from a beached Cyclops and then flipping said Cyclops while beached to try and salvage your Prawn suit.. can result in hillarious sideways gameplay.

For the record, the cyclops can crush a prawnsuit but only when you drive the cyclops over it..
How I know this? Well I was un-beaching my Cyclops with my Prawnsuit... I managed to push it enough off the sandbar eventually... But only after a few near disasters with my Prawnsuit being heavily damaged..

Oh and to fix the prawn suit orientation you just need to redock it to a moon pool or a.. right ways up cyclops XD.

I once ended up doing the same thing with a Cyclops that had flooded, dropped sideways, and miracuously not exploded. I was walking on the walls the whole time. I patched up the breaks and the Cyclops stopped flooding, but I couldn't drive it, since it wouldn't move itself upright again. I had to keep reloading in the middle of enemy infested waters, try to not die form my Cyclops exploding, and make it to safe land with enough time to patch the thing up. I made it eventually, but it was horrible to make it through lol.

Yea the interior of mine when it was sideways was basically pointless to try even going anywheres in it except back out... That can get real messy real quick if you lose the docked vehicle and your a kilometer or more from a base when the sub goes down.

I was honstly supprized I could actually manipulate the Cyclops enough with my Prawnsuit to get it unstuck. Then I discovered the doors in the cyclops have some wonky physics as well. Apparently if you stand in the doors way when its opening or closing just right or walk into it somehow.. it can.. cause the cyclops to be propelled from that collision. I should probably verify that one but.. you know.. its just a hillarious thing I discovered... Cyclops really needs a hatch on top of it... for when you get glitched out of it and are standing 'inside the sub' but the inside now looks like what it should look like outside of the sub or... eg standing ontop of it but not swiming.
