Nothing is more terrifying than venturing off into the unknown. Fear not, for with this, we shall safely descend into any dark crevices with minimal fear. Given that the titanium used in the box or line doesn't get destroyed, or that what is anchored to isn't broken.
This acts as a modification to bases as well as the cyclops (however removing docking capabilities.).
The box at its basic the size of that sea moth compartment in the cyclops. At its largest I'm thinking two square seamoths. The cable can extend one-one and a half kilometers, why do you need so much cable? Well, who knows when you'll need it. Lastly, cage durability is measured as the base its mounted on, this structure by default is an exterior building and requires the equivalent power per 100 meters of depth to 3 constantly running filtration machines when connected to a base, while around 2 energy per 50 meters when on the cyclops. If power were to fail, you could manually enter and exit the cage through hatches on top and bottom of the cage. An automated air tank reffiller restores up to 100 seconds of O2 at the cost of 100 energy regardless of its mounting position. This cage by default has one service locker to transport extra supplies between dock and bottom (should therefore exist) additionally 4 floodlights mounted to each side of the cage, these consume 0 base power, but all four run on one power cell, located in a power box in the center of the cage.
Warnings:
-metal structure can cause electrocution when touched
- should cables snap or the breaks fail, a designated red hatch on the top or bottom is there to aid in entering and exiting the cage.
- You are not impervious inside the cage, smaller fish can slip through the bars, while extremely large fish can break or dent the cable, housing, and or the cage itself.
- Manual repair of floodlights require 0 power to be active or risk of serious harm could occur.
- High temperatures can melt the frame, avoid high temperature areas while in use.
- Metal is easily corrodable in highly acidic or basic there-of, of environments. Check regularly of decay in the cables and cage bars.

:P images be like
It's a LOT of "well you just..." You want the engine to track the cage AND the cables for 1500m? Why do you want that? There's already a sub that can go that deep, and the Prawn can go 200 more. So what's the point of dropping something from the surface?
And if 1 second of O2 cost 1 energy, most of the subs would be worthless. I question your maths, since EVERY sub is nearly free oxygen, power-wise.
As a DEPLOYABLE, however, a "shark cage" could be useful. If the Cyclops could manufacture and drop cages for a diver with minimal maneuvering, and O2 refilling from a power cell. Something that could be used as a place to hide from aggressive fauna even past Cyclops/Prawn crush depth? It could provide the oxy using a power cell like the subs, but lacking most of the other features.
It definitely needs floodlights, though.
- Change to chord
- length of cable
- how deployable
- how effective is it
now: another thing is, this is also part of a building, in theory, the longer cable is on the building, while a shortened cable or droppable version can be deployed from the cyclops. with a deployable, it would be a question of what happens when a large predator grabs it. the Reaper Leviathan would shake it around and you'd be thrown about inside, but "safe" none the less. if the Sea Dragon grabbed it, i could see it trying to take a bite out of it, and if not failing; it would drastically damage the cage if not render it useless.
