Seamoth taking damage from small fish collision?

I'm playing experimental and am noticing that collisions with small fish is causing between 4-6 points of damage to the Seamoth per hit. Is this intended?

This is NOT below safe recommended depth where hull damage is expected and warned. Anywhere, at any depth, if a small fish of any kind (not just the aggressive Biter Fish) collides with the Seamoth and I don't even have to be moving very fast for this to occur.

I'm new to Experimental so I'm not sure if this is a known issue or a bug, or intended behavior. As an avid explorer, this is causing quite a bit of damage to my Seamoth in one adventure/exploration cycle per Power Cell charge.

    I noticed this too. My main base is in the jelly mushroom caves and consequently it's difficult not to accidentally run over oculi and eyeyes on the way in and out. The seamoth used is upgraded, so it is still within a safe depth.
    I wonder if the hull reinforcement module has any effect on this?

    Ah ok, so it's nothing to do with upgrades then, good to know. I have not yet upgraded my Seamoth in Experimental so I was wondering if this was some change to how that works and what is or is not supposed to be causing hull damage to a non-upgraded one.

    Did some investigation on the wiki and noticed in comments for the Hull reinforcement that with the hull upgrade normal damage should not occur. I didn't think a non-upgraded Seamoth could take hull damage from small fish so apparently I'm mistaken.

    Update: I *finally* got my moonpool (wow that was some endgame effort for sure) and installed the Seamoth upgrade console. I immediately added the hull reinforcement upgrade and went out to test it. Small fish are still damaging the Seamoth! It's less now, maybe a few points at a time, but this doesn't seem right to me ... hopefully it's a bug with experimental?

    that happens in the reg version as well Vex. seems bogus to me also that a small fish could noticably damage my seamoth hull at like 25m depth when im at about 1/4th impulse .... oh well :p
