When are the Subs coming?

[Star Lord]

I thought this was a Subnautica game, which means there are supposed to be submarines in it. All we got is this over glamorize version of a Sea Moth called the Sea Truck. Anyone heard when a sub will be added or at least a mini sub?

theyre not adding any other submarines

Really? Is that final for real? I haven't played the game yet so I don't know how many vehicles are there. I think there's the prawn, obvious sea truck and some kinda land motorcycle.

I would understand if there's no big underwater vehicle if there is no purpose for it. But then I would question why is there not a purpose for it in a Subnautica game?

the map is far, far more compact then subnautica. much more vertical movement, a lot less horizontal, and more... tunnely? then the first game, so a big sub would get in the way more.

i get what they're doing with the seatruck though, it's kind of working as a combined seamoth and cyclops.

This game is about surviving without fighting back, where weapons are not welcome and the best defense is run away or hide...

Just a hypothesis:
Maybe this game wasn't to be called originally Subnautica but Sheepnautica?

That's a nice euphemism for small and cramped.

much more vertical movement,

More vertical? Is there any region deeper than 900m?
IIRC Subnautica went down to 1700m

No, it's not. It's a bad replacement for either of them.

thank you.

everything is made of tunnels, movements is more on the vertical axis rather then the horizontal like in the first game. even the original frozen river was more like a straight compared to, say, the twisty bridges. areas are narrower... cramped, for a good word. broad expanses like from the first game are uncommon. that's what i mean.

i did not say, or imply, that it was working WELL. what it IS doing is trying to fulfill both roles at once. and it's "kind of". if it was doing well, i would not have placed a qualifier.

So we mostly agree then. I just wanted to point out that it doesn't seem to go as deep as the original Subnautica either. :}

I see. I guess I didn't read that carefully enough. Yes, it's an attempt of replacing both subs. Players seem to disagree on how well it works in practice.

for me the main thing that's giving me trouble is the seatruck isn't as SMALL as the seamoth, so it's a lot harder to manoeuvre. in terms of replacing the cyclops, though, i like the module system much better. the sea truck is full of trade offs, but it's definitely got kinks in it's design that need to be worked out.

i agree

I'm really curious why that is.

In my Cyclops I usually have tons of storage, a fabricator, a battery charger, plants for food and decoration, chairs to sit down and relax, a modification station if I need one and I can get into my Seamoth or PRAWN without leaving the sub first. For navigation there are several movable cameras. Not to mention the shield in case of attack.

What upsides does the Seatruck module system have compared to that?

LMFAO. "Sub"nautica doesn't mean it's supposed to have lots of submarines. By your logic, I want to know where all the Sub sandwiches are. I mean sub is sub is sub, right? Maybe we should pay a "sub"scription fee to be able to play the game?

At least the forums are still full of "sub"par threads.

[LuckyN13]

The cyclops was more of a gimmick anyways.
