One thing I'd really like to see for the late game is the ability for Moonpools to construct additonal vehicles. Say if you're tooling around the Grand Reef and get rekt by a Warper or a Crab Squid, you can scurry back to your base and build another one, rather than having to go all the way to the surface.
It could be handled as an add-on for the existing Moonpool, which would add a small "hat" to the top center on the outside, and two retractable fabricator arms in between the docking arms to create new subs.
It'd use a good chunk of power, so you would need to have ample solar panels. Or preferably a Nuclear Reactor.
Building a new sub would be simple, just go to the Vehicle mod station when the pool is empty, and the option to construct a vehicle would be available on the terminal.
Personally I think such a function should only work for Seamoths, though it could easily work for PRAWN suits as well.

What if you had a special control panel, kind of like the vehicle modification station, but its crafting ingredient was a mobile vehicle bay? Then you can decide which of the two vehicles to build from.
It really sucks when you have to go to the surface, and then bring your nice new vehicles back down to your base that's tucked up in a cave some 700 m below.
Why would you need a separate control panel? Just have it on the regular Vehicle Modification Station when you have the Constructor Module, and nothing docked at the time.
Only extra thing you'd have to build would be the add-on to the Moonpool.
