Cyclopse Design Idea - 2nd Exit/Entrance hatch at the top

overtheHILL

Hey,

I got an idea of implementing another (second) possibility to enter the cyclops - this time from the top.
To enter the cyclops only with the hatch at the bottom (front) is sometimes, depending on how much space is left between the sub and the sea floor, quite difficult...

I cant understand why there is no entrance hatch at the top of the sub - just like at real subs...

So I decided to make a few sketches of what I am thinking about!

By the way... why do you guys just dont spin the upper part of the cyclops?
I mean, in my opinion, when the blunt end of the upper part points to the front (instead of pointing to the end), for me this looks WAY MORE like a sub!

Agreed, good ideas.

I can see it. The roof ladder should place you at the bottom of the ladder, then have the ladder retract back up into the ceiling. I think the bottom (player) hatch doors should remain closed at all times until the player comes close to them, similar to how the seamoth docking works. The tooltip should be enough to inform them of how to get in.
