subnautica should have hovercrafts to gracefully skim the top of the water like THIS

Hovercraft
It would be cool to have a hovercraft or a jet ski type vehicle for just the surface. They did give us land above the water so why not make vehicles for it as well with amphibians and reptiles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_vehicle
But there was another discussion somewhere else in the forum about something like this. One half of the people said "but it's an underwater game. why surface vehicles?" and the other half just wants the goddamn thing.
I think we should differ between exploration and travel and get two different kinds of vehicles or at least costumization options for existing ones.
Yeah, with a small storage box on it for farming runs.
What would the point of the Hovercraft be if you can only skim the top of the water and there is no land?
Just saying.
Because Russia.
This is called the Zubr-class hovercraft, the largest of its type in the world (currently). If we have hovercraft, I want them to look something like this.
I've put some thought in to the idea of a hovercraft in Subnautica, and would like to see one for two reasons:
It would have to be a lot more futuristic than the pictured hovercrafts in this thread, I was thinking if they get around to implementing DNA sampling then the DNA sample from in game hoverfish could be used to research a hovercraft that would use bigger versions of their 6 little round feet-thingies.
Basically I'm imagining something that would be more like a catamaran, but way smaller (like single cockpit smaller), and the only contacts with the water would be 2-3 big versions of the hoverfish feet-thingies and a ladder to get in & out. Also I'd say it gets no support buildings (no moonpool equivalent, this is something designed by the survivor after all) and would only have 1 support module for use at a time (so you couldn't have both a storage hatch and a side-scan sonar at once). You know, so that it doesn't step on the toes of the submersibles but still has a purpose like getting around faster and mapping out the ocean floor - with a map generated on your PDA that you can later use to pinpoint mineral deposits (not the ones in caves obviously, just the ones on the seafloor surface).
What about a surface boat (or hover craft) that is nothing more than a surface only version of the Cyclops. This would be done so it can dock the Cyclops (so it is bigger) and give the Cyclops a roof hatch so we can go from one to the other. It will also be able to dock a Sea Moth. The ship would be able to charge the cyclops and seamoth from solar power and have 6 power cells for main power. This would also let us have a mobile surface base of sorts since it would be about as wide as 2 foundations and as long as 6 foundations. Inside it will have 2 engine rooms (like the one on the Cyclops), 1 nav command center, 1 cyclops dock, 2 seamoth/exosuit docks (so we can have both docked at the same time), 2 cargo rooms (in the twin hulls like the one in the belly of the cyclops), then it will have a hallway run down the center of the main deck with 4 rooms on each side (so we can place anything in/on them that we can in/on the bases), the nav command center will be at front center then it will have a roof deck that we can go out on and place other stuff (like solar panels without sinking the ship).
I like the idea of a surface vehicles (with maybe a surface dock for the base) but not to big or powerfull, somthing not faster than the seamoth but that you can land on the beach of the differant island on the map, take some sample on the island and take back to your base.
I totally agree. We have the cyclops as a mobile base, the seamoth for exploring but nothing for fast traveling. If the game gets bigger we really need somthing like this. Be it a speed boat, a hover craft or a ship. It should have a bay or a crane for the sea moth too). Also it would be cool if we get it later in the game when it is necessary.
