PRAWN suit Upgrades

I've logged 34 hours on one save now and I've come to really like the prawn suit but there are a few things that can be upgraded with the prawn.

1. Shocks: When you jump around and hit the ground the PRAWN reasonably shakes a lot but it can be disorientating if you're trying to track something. I think it would be a nice cheep upgrade.

2. Gripes: An idea I got right after the shocks as walking over bumpy terrain makes it shack as, I assume, it keeps leaving the grown every time the angel of the terrain changes. The gripe upgrade would make shore your prawn stays on the ground with the exception of jumping of course.

3. A Third Arm: I don't know how this would work but it would be a small hand that all it could do would be to pick up items. I like going around with a free hand and a drill arm to just grab stuff without leaving the PRAWN but it would be nice to just add a third arm and use my grapple in the free hand.

4. More Arms: You've probably saw this somewhere else and I agree there should be arms for builders (for the lava zone), stasis rifle, repulsion cannon, and flash light (so you can see above you).

5. Turrets: No not the deadly kind the useful kind. Things all the drill arm, grapple, and the builder idea that need the arm part to function can't be put in the turrets but the torpedoes, cannons, rifle, and lights could be put into the two extra slots you get with the upgrade again don't know how the keys would work.

Also and someone teach the reaper to let go when you shove a drill down its throat!

Wait! It took an hour to right this! waaaaa....

    1. So... shock absorbers? Sounds interesting I guess.
    2. This'd be hard to implement but ok. Also I assume you meant to say "grips".
    3. ...no... but maybe the drill arm could have a vacuum attached to suck up items.
    4. Maybe a building tool or powerful flashlight would be cool. Not sure about the other things.
    5. "The useful kind not the deadly kind" ...and what kind is that exactly?

    I think Point 1+2 fit nicely together. Add some kind of shock absorbers like on a good offroad vehicle to absorb some of the terrain "roughness" to keep your view more steady.

    In my opinion a 3rd arm would look too weird especially if it just has the functionality to grab things. I would rather see the "grab" function added to the drill arm, the propulsion cannon arm and maybe even the grapple arm. Because having to dedicate one arm just for picking things up and for punching things seems a little bit strange.

    Habitat building tool and a powerful flashlight sound also nice. As do the stasis and repulsion cannon. Maybe they could add the scanner function to the "basic" arm to keep it useful IF they decide to add any of these suggestions of course.

    I think "turrets" no matter what the did would be too much. I think that you still should have to chose your loadout and thus lose some functions. A PRAWN who can do all things at once would be bad in my opinion. A little more then the current version would be nice but not all stuff at once.

    I don't know, @SnailsAttack, an upgrade that just complains about everything might be kinda fun. Instead of the plain old "Welcome aboard, Captain," you could get all kinds of stuff.

    "This water's cold. My power cell needs charging. I don't like my paint job. Why do you keep punching cave crawlers? I'm bored. Oh good, more rocks. I want a new name. Why is the Seamoth allowed in the garage and I'm not? Ew; Lost River water is gross. I don't want to go into the lava zone. Can we go home now?"

    The kind you put on battleships to blow stuff up.

    I think that's the picture in the dictionary when you look up "Turret, Deadly."
