Any plans for more vehicles? Also, some vehicle thoughts in general...

Just out of curiosity, are there any current plans add to add more vehicles down the road? I'm assuming the cyclops is going to be your 'main' submarine that will store the smaller vehicles (saw a post on this recently). Some other vehicle ideas:

- small robotic subs for dangerous places
- extreme depth subs for the lowest parts of the planet's ocean if the cyclops has depth restrictions.
- Torpedo launched drone to scout surface conditions from onboard the cyclops in the depths (and drop buoys of some sort, maybe drop some cluster bombs on peepers...) Based off a real life US navy test
- escape pod sub that is used in emergency situations to quickly ascend to the surface. You could use the same model as the current one in the game (except not destroyed)

Other notes, impressive and moody flood lights similar to the ones used in The Abyss (great reference movie for this game):

Thoughts?

    Right now we have plans for a mech type vehicle that we would like to get in for release. Beyond that, we've talked about having a wider variety of submersible vehicles, but there's a lot of other stuff the game needs first.
