Torpedos aren't cutting the chase for good weaponry. There should be a submarine that uses power cells or iron crystals as weapons to kill irratating enemies like bone sharks and ampeels and should be able to take crab squids emp attacks and use it to power the sub. It could be very buff, but very slow.

Only from survival fabricator blueprints though. They still use weapons elsewhere (e.g. Natural Selection takes place in the same universe, right?)
But yeah the weapons aside, new submarines aren't gonna happen. There's no real need for them either - even though some of those concept subs were pretty darned cool. Maybe for Subnautica 2, unless post-launch DLC's end up changing something... Which is possible, but unlikely. Still no weapons though!
Alterra sends its regards and wishes you a good flight on the Aurora!
Yeah if people want spears and stuff, there's many other survival games that do sport those things. Stuff like that isn't gonna make it into Subnautica no matter how logical it may be. Not unless they open up modding support at some point, in which case people can go nuts with the things the developers themselves won't put in.
That's some @scifiwriterguy - level writing there, IMHO - you guys should team up and re-write a bunch of the PDA messages, and @nesrak1 can mod it in. I... can play it. xD (Ok I can proofread too but it would hardly be necessary.
That's...actually really good. Honestly, I'd change the existing PDA message to end with, "For more information, please see the attached databank entry." Then make this said databank entry.
As long as there's some snarky AI humor here and there like the old "Great job not dying there." message we were greeted with, I'd be totally up for that!
Thank you guys heheh!
I will find a way to add that. Snarky AI humor for the WIN!
For instance my inability to defend myself in this game makes me frustrated. I have a knife, leviathans can eat you in one or two hits. You can't kill the leviathan, you have to try to avoid them or get away. This causes frustration with the game because you die, and you cannot defend yourself. This in turn causes aggression.
So basically the developers of this game think that violent video games cause violence, but this actually is not the case. Their video game is actually more likely to increase aggression and violence in it's present state due to frustrations over not being able to defend oneself and defeat aggressive creatures.
As per this psychology article:
https://psychcentral.com/lib/frustration-with-video-games-leads-to-aggressive-behavior/
This Forbes article details a possible correlation between increased video game sales and decreases in crime. After major violent video games are released such a Grand Theft Auto, crime actually decreases. This is most likely because people who commit crimes are inside playing video games instead of outside committing crimes:

So in summary I support your assault sub, or any other weapon idea for the game...
Look. Unknown Worlds HAS made a game with weapons called Natural Selection 2. I see very clearly that you want weapons to defend yourself in the game, but I'm sorry! The devs have said that the only "weapon" in the game will be the Survival Knife. MAYBE someone someday will make a mod, but it's just not gonna happen from the devs. As for a battle sub, the devs also said no more subs will be added for 1) Data, & 2) Size. Sorry bucko, it just won't happen, and a battle sub? That's less likely than a new sub in general. Also, @JoE_Smash , your argument about Unknown Worlds "thinking violent video games cause violence" is filled with holes, mainly revolving around the fact that NS2 is a First Person Shooter MMO! Again, I'm sorry the game doesn't meet your standards, I just want arguments like this on the forums to stop. Please. I know I'm not the only one who wants these arguments to stop.
*movie announcer voice* THIS time, it's PERSONAL
Subnautica 2: Subnaut HARDER
No sequels. Please.
Survival games don't need sequels.
Also no weapons. As I said before:
Oh, I agree, I was just being silly. And maybe I wanted an excuse to say "Subnaut HARDER". Maybe. c.c
We have the Stasis Rifle and Propulsion Cannon, both of which can now be gotten quite early in the game, and with creative application can be quite deadly to a number of fauna. Then there's the Creature Decoy (Whose effectiveness I can't vouch for yet since I haven't used it) so you can just avoid some encounters, the effective "When in doubt, ram it with your seamoth" tactic, Gas Torpedos, and the Perimiter Defense System which can even do in leviathans. So we've already got ways of 'defending ourselves' even as it is.
If that's not enough, then there's always games like ARK or - while it's not a survival game perse - Monster Hunter 3 (Or even the newer ones, like MH World which will be on the PC, but MH3's got swimming combat in it so you can fight fish if you want). If Subnautica's not providing the experience you want, then maybe setting it down and finding an alternative would be the best course of action, since the devs aren't going to change their mind on this. (Or hold out for modding tools)
...And if you're really getting that frustrated playing a game, then just play something else for a bit and wind down. It's common sense.
You realize he had the same point as you right?
I think so, seems like he was just adding on to it.
I loved this snippet from Rezca's reply.
Feels like some people try to empower their point of view with scientific studies without actually trying to understand what the study was about. And the answer is that simple. What makes people frustrated is subjective and not everyone reacts the same way. It also applies to what brings you joy.
