So, something I've noticed is a recurring problem with the SeaMoth is the lack of an artificial horizon.
When you're off in the middle of nowhere, with neither the surface nor any landmass in visible range, it's kind of hard to find out which way is "up." This can be an issue when all you want to do is get to the surface. Holding the "up" button while swimming makes you go directly up. With the Seamoth, it's in whatever direction the top of the Moth is. So, if you're actually facing the surface, you could end up slamming your back into a wall.
Getting out to look at the Moth can help, but that's kind of a bad idea when you're wandering the Dunes. In the SeaMoth, you can just drive in the opposite direction, but outside of it, it delays you enough that a Reaper isn't going to have any trouble killing you.
So, what I'm proposing is a simple artificial horizon, maybe to give the dashboard behind the steering wheel something to do, for the SeaMoth.

Yeah, the general direction of the surface... but sometimes I want to go directly upwards so that I can keep the location on the surface marked by my SeaMoth.
