all right, over the past few days, i've been having this idea about some form of submarine, and today i finally decided that i would post this idea here
Basics: new submarine. shorter and smaller(only one floor instead of two) than the cyclops, but wider.Name i thought of was "Goliath"
Features: two Seamoth docks so you can always have one fully charged and ready for exploration. 360 degree digital parascope. reinforced hull meaning it can go much deeper than the standard cyclops. spotlights because deeper means darker. and a "predator call" horn
About the horn: an odd idea i had. if the cyclops has a horn that could possibly be used to "interact" with reefbacks, then why not have something that does the opposite? a call that will cause most smaller and medium sized wildlife (both hostile and passive) to flee the area. maybe it could even be based on a stalker's call, and actually work as a deterrent against them (assuming that they don't see you)
Design: now, i'm not really much of an artist (which is a bit of an understatement), but i've somewhat managed to draw out what i'd generally imagine it being. please don't mind some of the blockyness, asymmetry, or size inaccuracy
now you may be wondering about the viewport and yes, it is rather small. but the idea with it is that the reason the cyclops can't go very deep is because of it's big old bubble in the front which is a HUGE structural weakness, so by taking away some of the glass and having it reinforced with metal, it'd be a lot more structurally sound. not to mention the lack of view is supplemented by the parascope.
overall, this is just and idea i've managed to deconstruct from a combination of dreams and idle thoughts supplemented by chicken scratch and paint dot net. do whatever you wish with it, praise it, tear it apart, ignore it completely, point is i've made it coherent enough that it can possibly be understood
Edit: after looking at some of the other sub concept art, i've had another thought. most of the subs look like sleek and large science subs, well what if this was more of a "military" sub. more blocky, darker paint, thicker hull. no weapons of course, unless the possibility of submarine mounted stasis guns would be an interesting thing
