man this comment thread is worse than nordics discord.
Re: New Weapon Ideas?
Todays divers can carry devices that emit electric/magnetic fields as a deterrent to sharks.
I would like to see something like that in game for situations like building habitats in dangerous waters. Its not unlike the Seamoth defence, but shouldn't need to be triggered, only makes the smaller predators(up to bone sharks imo) turn away and uses batteries quickly.
But i would not like to see more lethal weapons, i just don't see the need and the devs have said its not the direction of Subnautica.

Re: New Weapon Ideas?
To start this off, i think we need some kind of spear/harpoon. Even if it's just the survival knife tied to a stick 
... I mean spears (aside from clubs and knives) are one of the most basic weapons in all of history but extremely useful none the less!

This deserves more views than it has

I really hope that this stuff gets added!
Re: Time Capsule voting

Out of the batch that loaded up for me, which was a total of 100 I think, I only upvoted 5 or so. I don't know, it seems people simply have no idea what these capsules are for or what to do with them.
I spent about 45 minutes just scrolling... There are thousands just from the day of the launch. A lot of it is nice but not terribly interesting motivational messages, well wishes and personal thoughts, but there's also a lot of meaningless babble and spam, tons of "I'm finally getting off this f-ing planet," blank messages, messages in Russian and Chinese, and a lot of "Hope this helps!" which you can't possibly judge because can't actually see what they put in their capsule. More than one person wrote "REEEE" for so long that it stretched the page, and because it's all on the same page it just stays like that as you keep going down.
The images aren't much better. There are some nice screenshots and every now and then someone will have some original art, but there are also a lot of pictures of base interiors, good but spoilery pictures of the rocket, less good pictures of bubblegum pink and neon green rockets, random pictures of the seafloor, random pictures of the PDA that look like they were taken by accident, duplicate pictures, a couple pictures of Rick Astley (???), and about 1/4 have no picture at all.
It's mostly all the same past the first few "pages," but nobody goes down there, so most of them have no votes and will probably be there forever, and anything posted more than a few hours after launch may never see the light of day. There's far too much to read it all, and I actually think my browser might run out of memory if I tried.
Father was right... we shouldn't have gone so deep.
I haven't gotten to creating mine yet, so I do not know how the process goes, but perhaps some guidelines as to what is okay to put in there are necessary (as in: not the end-game stuff and only non-spoilery pictures) and what to write (again, no spoilers and keep it in-character: write as the survivor, not lonely Jimmy from the basement seeking friends through his email)...
I'm sorry, I'm just sad, I guess.
I also think some guidelines would be nice (not even rigid ones, just "We suggest..."), but I think you've got the right idea. I'm pleased with how mine came out and I hope whoever finds it enjoys it, but I'd be curious to know what other people think about what kinds of things they think would be good.
There's no rush to make yours, though. The contents of your capsule aren't locked in until you launch, so if you want to build it just to see how it works then you can do so and redo it as many times as you need to.
