Floating bases, docking system and adding a top hatch for the cyclops.

First of all, adding docking possibilities to underwater bases:
When building a base you can add a docking hatch that the seamoth/cyclops can attach to, so that you don't need to go through water between the two. It will use 2 titanium, 1 silicone and 1 glass with the builder.
Maybe even a docking room similiar to the one that the seamoth docks to in the cyclops. building one will require 4 titanium, 2 silicone, 2 glass, a computer chip and can be attached to any part of the base.
My next idea is floating bases:
These are built in the same way that underwater bases are built, but with one main difference - instead of building foundations you will need to build floating foundations that are made primarily with silicone. maybe all the walls will be made with silicone as well, and their appearence will be different.
The floating base is movable but only when a cyclops is docked with it.
A floating foundation will reqire 2 silicone, 1 titanium. A silicone wall will require 2 silicone.
3rd - Top hatch and ladder for the cyclops:
It is really cool that the escape pod has a ladder to the upper side of it. Why not adding a top hatch plus ladder on the upper side of the cyclops so that you can get out and stand on the top of it when it is floating.
And one more idea - A vertical ladder tube for underwater bases:
The same as a horizontal one but with a built in ladder. You can build it vertically and between levels and you can attach a few of these togather. This way the underwater base can have different levels that are far from each other, and maybe even a level above the water.
Cheers!
